As a result of new figures been published this week, Soccer Sequence No.19 has been updated. Who would have guessed that Liza Minnelli would be the beautiful game's oracle. Liza, like Martin Peters, was twenty years ahead of her time. Can you guess the link between these numbers:-
401.4, 365.9, 327.0, 289.5, 263.0, 242.3, 217.0, 203.2, 196.5, 196.5, 146.7, 146.4, 139.6, 133.2, 132.7, 124.5, 114.7, 103.5, 102.2, 101.0
Sad to note that Portsmouth were just short of these figures.

Hart in the Palace
Congratulations to Paul Hart on his appointment as Crystal Palace manager. Since I first mentioned Hart in a post in late August, he has managed three different clubs. Will he beat the record for the number of clubs managed in a season? To answer this question, it would be useful if I knew the record. If anyone knows the record, please let me know.

More Dummies Please
In my quest to find players who can actually dribble, here is a short video featuring a proper player. Enjoy and let me know your favorite dribbler. Some of my favourite wingers can be found on my post about Wingers with No Pace.
And here's a great read on the genius with the difficult to spell surname. Or is that just me?

The Ugly Truth
Stop it now. Last night I could not concentrate on the Sporting Lisbon v Everton Europa tie because of the intruders on the pitch. It took me a while to realise that they were the goalline referees . My opinion is divided on thir usefulness. On one hand they are waste of space and on the other hand they are annoying. There is an aesthetic truth about a pitch with two teams and a referee. Stop the experiment now.

After the Wire No.5 - Aiden Gillen
As Tommy Carcetti, the highly ambitious city councilman, Aiden Gillen played a flawed but driven character whose idealistic vision for change often clashed with the lure of personal gain. Since appearing as Carcetti, he has acted in the BBC recession drama, Freefall, and will hopefully play the lead in my new film, ' José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho's Quiet Years'.
