Hey Farooq, I just made a slideshow over what are the ten best international football rivalries. I would appreciate it if you could give me your reaction.

Thanks, Andrew

Farooq, are you annoyed that Arsenal's ground is called Emirates and not Highbury anymore?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/267535-naming-rights-theyre-just-wrong

This explains my disgust at the overlap of football and big business.

Enjoy it.

Hey Farooq, in what I hope to be a new feature to the site, I've written a comprehensive biography of France Legend Michel Platini, it's long so I can understand if you don't have the time to look at it but otherwise I'd really appreciate your opinion on it.

Many people might not actually know about pole-vaulting queen, Yelena Isinbayeva, but she has been one of the most dominant athletes the world has seen in recent times. She finally lost at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin recently, which was a complete shock. Here's a recap on that -

I will be extremely obliged if u can give it a read.

Thanks :)

Hello Farooq.

My latest article, probably, is the craziest sports article on the Internet. Well...no promises, there are so many weirdos out there, huh! But still...

It is basically the season preview of my favorite football team....in the form of a rap song.

I hope you will find time to read it, and maybe leave your thoughts, thanks!

It's Weird Dave Yankovic here once more :)
I have a few parodies stored up, such as one about Carlos Tevez's facial appearance and Ashley Cole's shenanigans behind Cheryl's back.

In the meantime, here's one concerning David Bentley's future at Spurs:
