Deadspin
• Arsenal 7-0 Middlesbrough. Holy Lord. 7-0? Did they let Arsenal use their hands? Man, there's real chance that Arsenal outscores the Chicago Bears this weekend. In fact, Thierry Henry might outscore the Bears himself, as he scored three of the seven.
• Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United. They call this rivalry the "Manchester Derby," but all morning on Fox Soccer Channel, they were pronouncing it "darby," which planted the song "Wishing Well" by Terence Trent D'Arby firmly in my head for the rest of the day. The Blues won behind a goal by Trevor Sinclair on a sweet little spin move, and then Robbie Fowler put them away with a late goal.
And in other soccer news, earlier this week Will told you about Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole getting his ass whooped over a girl (that link isn't safe for work, but it is spectacular). Well, thanks to Sherm for passing along the following note from the popbitch newsletter:
The real story of Joe Cole's bust-up at a Page 3 girl's house? We hear he was shagging topless model Keely over the sink in her bathroom when her boyfriend walked in. And Joe didn't so much "flee" through a window as "was propelled" through it.
The bathroom sink? Strictly a class move. See, soccer can be awesome.

Any word on the condition of the ornaments and fittings that were damaged in the fracas?
Chatting up a girl is my new favorite slang for bending them over a bathroom sink.
On the plus side having been propelled through a window, he probably won't be fit to scare the life out of our defence tomorrow afternoon...
The Gunners looked great against a struggling Boro, I just wish they could show up for the games against the top of the table, too. Henry was, well, Henry and there was a lot of good finishing that has been missing of late. Should have saved some of those goals for the Toffees.
Anyone listening to this? Please, let me not be the only soul in the world listening to this magic...
