		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we asked Offside readers to sound off and let us know who the hardest working player in world football was. We had a great response which helped us define &#8220;hard working&#8221; a little more specifically. As well as running around, and putting the hours in at training, concepts like willingly playing out of position [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s do the numbers first. The French legal limit is 0.5 grammes of alcohol per litre of blood, and Govou breathelizered (we assume) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slow day, which means perhaps the biggest news &#8211; it&#8217;s even made American front pages &#8211; is that UEFA has decided not to suspend the devilish Red Devil Wayne Rooney for performing Riverdance on Dane Kasper Rigard&#8217;s chest. The stomp, I think, looks like it does leave the slightest of cracks in a watertight theory, [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the official statement from the Galaxy&#8217;s website:

		<description><![CDATA[Spurs have sacked Juande Ramos, and Gus Poyet and Damien Comolli too. The day before a game Ramos actually had a decent chance of winning (vs Bolton).
It&#8217;s been coming, but strange decision to get rid of all three men. Seems to me that Spurs put so much effort into hiring Ramos, that he at least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Unsurprisingly, Sir Alex Furious Ferguson is furious about the FA&#8217;s decision to overturn the red card Mark Halsey waved at John Terry last weekend (see video). Partly because it seems Keith Hackett (king of English refs) has overruled Hasley, but mostly because the Chelsea captain is now free to face Man Utd this weekend.
Two questions, [...]]]></description>

And it&#8217;s going to awesome. How can it not be? Just look how shiny [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the season, I would have said no. There was no way Liverpool were challenging for the Premier League title. I thought they relied too heavily on Stevie Gerrard and Fernando Torres, still lacked wingers (as I&#8217;m sure Liverpool fans are tired of hearing) and Rafa Benitez was too easily distracted by the Champions League.
