Manchester United won the match but inevitably this encounter will be remembered more for the antics of Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra.

1) We missed this one when it went up so props to Who Ate All The Pies for digging it up again. We're not sure what we like most about this excellent Manchester City vid: the post-modern take on the 'I love...' format; the fact they've got Noel Gallagher in talking about farting; or the look on Vincent Kompany's face. Brilliant.

1) Monday's game of 'cat and Scouse' of Anfield featuring a now famous feline pitch invader has inspired an annoyingly catchy tune by bandwagon jumpers Vom Vorton. Try listening to it without finding yourself singing 'Stop the match, there's a cat on the pitch' in your head at least once afterwards...

Straight Outta Govan: Fergie makes gang sign, Photoshop madness ensues

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:06:43 GMT

Sir Alex Ferguson is more hip op than hip-hop.

So when a picture emerged of him appearing to make a gang sign with Falkirk striker Farid El Alagui (no, us neither), the finest minds of the MirrorFootball.co.uk Photoshop department went into overdrive.

Here is the result of their labours, so all together now... "Stop! Fergie Time!"

1) It 'may' only have been scored in the Brazilian minor leagues - and in front of a crowd barely reaching double figures from the look of it - but there's no denying the quality of this goal. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that Londrina striker Alexandre Oliveira's superb flick up and bicycle kick would grace any league. Take a bow, son...

The highlight of the no score bore at Anfield last night was undoubtedly the appearance of cat on the pitch midway through the first half.

Presenting quality football videos from the interweb, daily at 3pm. Here's today's collection:

1) Forest fans haven't had a lot to cheer this season, so Burnley forward Jay Rodriguez's epic penalty fail on Tuesday night was a welcome moment of light relief. It was only a moment, mind - the same player scored 10 minutes later and the away side ran out 2-0 winners. (Be warned: there is some audible strong language in this fan-shot clip)

Ken Bates has struck again this week by telling Simon "Larry" Grayson to shut that door on his way out of Leeds. The former Blackpool boss is far from the first manager Uncle Ken has sent packing in his time as chairman of Oldham Athletic, Chelsea and now Leeds United. Leeds fans are reportedly a little concerned about the stewardship of their club under Batesy - hardly surprising after he branded them "morons" last August. An unusual way to describe your own club's supporters perhaps, but ce...

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:25:25 GMT

Arsenal's fightback against Aston Villa was the story of the day in the FA Cup.

The Gunners went 2-0 down before two penalties from Robin van Persie and a goal from Theo Walcott saw them make it through to the fifth round.

They will face either Sunderland or Middlesbrough who played out a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light earlier in the day.
