Come on you Gunners

The theory was put forward by the goalkeeper of the Gunners' next Champions League opponents, Auxerre.

Fabien Cool, the man with the hippest name on Earth, said: "Arsenal are solid home and away - they are extra-terrestrial."

It might be a different story if they had to try and break up Mars attacks.

Starting 'em young

An 18-year-old student has been placed in charge of AEK Athens.

Stavros Psomiadis is the new acting president at the Greek club, following the jailing of his father, Makis.

Makis, famous for smoking gigantic cigars and knocking back whisky at matches, was given 12 years for forgery, a conviction which he disputes.

As a result, Stavros was told to put his studies in London on hold to take the reins.

Fortunately he has an easy first match to ease himself into the hotseat - Real Madrid at home. Doh!

Dog before wicket

Umpire David Shepherd made history during cricket's ICC Champions Trophy final - by showing a red card to a dog.

All right, all right!

Umpire Shepherd intervened when the crazy canine invaded the pitch during the match between Sri Lanka and India in Columbo.

When the mutt refused to leave, the ruddy-cheeked official gave him his marching orders.

The dog eventually left with his tail between his legs, muttering something about wuff justice.
