This happens to be my first post on the A-League. One might ask how it came about ? To be honest, I was doing a bit of research on FIFA World Cup qualifying. As I was doing the 2006 edition, I saw that John Aloisi was the man whose penalty kick sent the Socceroos into the World Cup. Aloisi as a footballer is not a new name- he has after all played for Coventry and Portsmouth in the Premiership, and Osasuna in the La Liga.

Leicester City sign Kelvin Etuhu on loan
Leicester City have signed Kelvin Etuhu on loan from Manchester City till the end of the season. Kano born Etuhu can play both as a striker and a right winger. If Kelvin’s surname seems familiar to you, it is because his elder brother is Dickson Etuhu, currently representing Sunderland in the Premiership.
Spurs vs Chelsea- 2007-08 League Cup final review
Spurs were making their first appearance in the final since 2002, when they lost 1-2 to Blackburn Rovers. Rovers thrashed Bolton 4-1 today, but that is a story for another time :D. Chelsea on the other hand, were defending the title that they had won by beating Arsenal 2-1 last year, and were playing in their third final in four years.
Avram Grant chose to start with Anelka and Drogba upfront.He left the likes of Alex, Ballack and Joe Cole, who scored the winner in the semifinal against Everton, on the bench. Spurs started with Keane and Berbatov upfront, with Hutton, Woodgate, King and Chimbonda at the back. Malbranque, Zokora, Jenas and Lennon played in the middle. And not to mention, Paul Robinson in goal.
