Just noticed the Asian Cup is going on Down Under.
Usual suspects - Japan,China, S Korea, Oz, Iran - doing well.

I thought David Dein had left both Arsenal and the FA?
How come the Woolwich Wanderers have played 7 home matches and only 4 away matches so far this season?
No wonder they're where they are in the table.
