I don't think I was this good til I was at least 10!?

Only 3 months on and they've reached their target. I'll follow this with interest

No argument from me. These are simply some of the greatest goals ever!

What a great idea - get 50,000 people to contribute £35 which will be put together to buy a football team and have a say in the running of it. I'll be intrigued to see how it plays out...

Gretna's plights are perfectly summed up here - "If the scriptwriters for the Gretna success story were working for Roy of the Rovers, the editor may have taken them aside and told them to tone it down a bit."

If you haven't already witnessed Messi's goal against Getafe last week, you have to watch this! Surprisingly similar to Maradona's arguably greatest goal scored, this will no doubt be shown again and again.

What a cool use of the PSP! Though who really is going to take their PSP to a football match? Only the prawn sandwich brigade in the executive boxes me thinks.

I could watch this again and again and again...

Sad to see that my old home town club have hit a new all time low being the first club in Britain to play all the others in their division without winning a single point.

He was a bit fortunate that the keeper stumbled but it's still a great strike. He scored an almost identical strike from the half way line against Reading last season, except with his left foot! I can only dream of being that good with both feet.

Can you believe this referee (a woman I might add) allows a goal scored by a ball boy?! Will this lead to more ball boys taking shots at goal or less women refs?

There's much mouth watering speculation as to the deals that'll be rushed through on the last day. I don't think much will be happening in the Celtic camp today though Peter Lawell didn't rule it out.

An extract from Neil Lennon's book detailing the events that forced him to never to wear a Northern Ireland shirt again.

A little less than 5 hours to go until the much anticipated Champions League draw. No draw is likely to be easy for Celtic but it certainly helps being in Pot 2. I'm hoping for an English side as the top seed.

Some great misses!

These guys know how to execute an overhead kick *and* land gracefully!

This was on Soccer AM a wee while ago. Check out Ronaldinho at the end...

As a kid I used to practice keepie ups in the street but never quite got as good as this boy!
