1-0 Mariappa
The former Everton man who’s career has shown real potential before a disastrous spell at Arsenal has now been transfer listed by Sheffield Wednesday after he headbutted and punched an opponent, which is never a good idea really.

Brian Laws Sheffield Wednesday side registered their first League win of the season after exploding out of the blocks with three goals in the first half an hour.
Shola Ameobi scored the game’s only goal meaning the Newcastle United striker has now scored as many goals in the last week than he managed in the whole of last season.
An entertaining start to the season as the South Yorkshire derby ends all square.
Jesus I am going to have nightmares about this for weeks. The quality of the acting from the former Sheffield Wednesday and England man is pretty good and is kind of Anthony Hopkins from Silence of the Lambs-esque. Scary!

Imagine if a striker scored a goal every ten minutes for their club this season. In the Championship, nine goals a game over 46 matches would mean a grand total of 414 for the season, which would probably be enough to land the Golden Boot. [Read the rest of this entry »]
One game down, forty-five to go as far as the 24 teams in the Championship is concerned, but what did the opening weekend of fixtures tell us? Many regard Doncaster’s 1-0 win at Derby as the performance of the weekend, but that’s only working on the assumption that Rovers were playing League One football last term, while their opponents were in the top flight.

Sheffield Wednesday’s 18 year old defender Mark Beevers has been in fine form despite his side’s relegation battle and now it seems that both Merseyside giants are after £5m rated Barnsley born lad.
Liverpool and Everton both want young Sheffield Wednesday defender Mark Beevers. (Sunday Mirror)
The lanky centre back looks to be one of the most sought after youngsters in the country and with Rafa seemingly keen on increasing his English contingent you can see why Liverpool are monitoring the situation. Everton too want to add the England under 19 international to their ranks, but who, if either, will win the race?
It’s fair to say that Shola Ameobi’s footballing career has never really got going. The gangly striker has made just 95 starting appearances for Newcastle United in the past eight seasons and it’s therefore a surprise that he’s only decided to go out on loan at this stage of his career. Sky Sports report that Championship table toppers Stoke City have taken the player on loan until the end of the season as they make a final push for the promised land of the Premier League.
Can the England Under-21 international be the final piece in the jigsaw as far as the Potters’ promotion quest is concerned, or will he flatter to deceive, much as he’s done throughout his time at St James’ Park? It’s certainly a risky move when you consider Ameobi has featured for the Magpies on only eight occasions this season, many of them as a substitute.

It’s not been a great year for Auntie, what with losing a load of funding, being found out to be dirty rotten cheats ripping of quiz contestants and Gary Lineker still smirking at the camera. So it with a smile on our face that we bring you better news from White City, the Beeb will be broadcasting Football League matches from 2009. Well, it worked for ITV Digital.
So, what are the details?
The BBC will show Football League and Carling Cup matches from the 2009 to 2012 seasons after winning the contract in a joint bid with Sky.
Oh yeah, the Carling Cup too, we forgot that.
It means Championship matches will be screened live on the BBC for the first time, with 10 first-choice games per season exclusively live on the BBC.
And what’s more…
The Carling Cup final will be simulcast live with Sky, and two semi-final legs shown exclusively live on the BBC.
No, we don’t know what that means either. So, is this a step forward for the Championship or just another sign that BBC sport ain’t what it used to be?
