wc2k2, you are on a roll indeed. I laughed out loud at this one. In other news, since there's really no good place to put it, The Guardian now has a weekly football podcast football podcast. And these are just the sort of stories they revel in.

Common thread? Both were against Everton. Fowler's was much, much worse.

Was Fowler's the first instance of someone doing that particular celebration? I could've sworn someone did that same thing pre-99, possibly in an International match?

Merseyside Police will take no action against Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton for baring his backside at Everton fans. "I did not see it but if anything did happen, we will look at it with an open mind and deal with it," said the Stuart Pearce.

If T.O. sees this story, Philly fans need to be on the lookout.

Okay, if he doesn't get suspended for that then I don't know what things are coming to. I mean Randy Moss got in trouble for faking it at a Packers game!
