Recognising a beauty that transcends rivalry
afootballreport:
By Darshan Joshi
Progress prolongs our existence. It is a beautiful reality that progress will one day find the cure for cancer, the solution to global warming and the end to discrimination. Even individually, each day is progression. We might do nought but lay in a hammock on a golden Maldivian beach, wordless, but not thoughtless – never thoughtless – and that is progress...

The Sprint for the Golden Boot: Fred vs Borges
afootballreport:
By Gordon Fleetwood
Just a little over a week ago the issue seemed to be finalized. You could have called the engraver and no-one would have batted an eyelid at your lack of tact. Santos striker Borges looked to have the issue of the golden boot in the Campeonato Brasileiro put to bed. With four rounds left, his ten goal lead looked nearly unassailable, and the prize that...

Green Bay @ Detroit for Thanksgiving Day
This should be one of the best match ups of the season. Everybody’s money should be on the red-hot Packers who pose not only the best win-loss (read: undefeated) records in the NFL right now, but back that up with Aaron Rodgers being the best quarterback in the league at the moment (as much as it pains me to put anyone above Brady, for this season Rodgers has been meteoric), a plethora of...

Kubica to miss start of 2012 season
f1-show:
Robert Kubica: “Even if I’ve been working very, very hard over the course of the last few weeks, I came to the conclusion that I am not yet certain to be ready for the 2012 season. I have called the team and I have informed them of the situation. This was a difficult decision to make, but it is the most reasonable one. I also know that LRGP need to prepare for next year, and further...

Coffee is Instant. Success is Not.

Andre Villas-Boas’s visage has leapt across many extremes over the last month and a half. From quiet confidence to near-childish defiance, and more recently, after falling at home to Arsenal and Liverpool, a mix of anger and worry.
Football fans can be fickle in an almost cruel way when it comes to club managers. It comes with the territory. If a club...

By Eric Beard
The idea of community, however tangible or intangible, real or imagined, flourishes at the very core of football. Without fans, football doesn’t exist. Similarly, without readers, AFR would have died a long, long time ago. Conversation is the greatest source of sustenence in the beautiful game. Through one another, we grow. We learn. We come up with new ideas...

The Legend of Arsene Wenger
If Arsene Wenger’s career was a Kung-Fu movie, we would be in the part where the search is on for the villain who poisoned Arsene’s rice. Taking cues from the charismatic Frenchman, all eyes would be on the usual suspects, the media, referees, disloyal players, Roy Keane, Sam Allardyce, and the most obvious targets, those pin-stripe-suited figures throwing around Scrooge McDuck money for...

"Abate bloody time" →
Glad to know that I’m not the only one who has been thinking these things about the lack of National Squad recognition for the current in-form Italian right back.
In other news, Kaká continues to toy with Milanistas’ hearts and Milan seem poised to make a move for another high-profile Italian midfielder, Ricardo Montolivo.
