Space junk, female impersonators and Ogogo
The Americans apparently had no idea where about 500kg of a burnt out satellite was going to land on Friday, but made it clear that if it landed your back garden it was their property. What they didn’t make clear was whether they would pay for a new garden shed if the satellite flattened it.
Whether this should have awoken mighty Manchester United to threats from a great height is arguable, but it was Peter Crouch whose header took the first points off the champions in a 1-1 draw at Stoke City.
At Fenerbahce this week, the crowd was limited to women, children and female impersonators on account of a ban of the unruly elements at the club. Meanwhile this weekend, struggling Plymouth Argyle ran a Fans Reunited campaign as fans from many clubs came wearing their shirts to support the struggling Argyle. The confusing array of colours confused the visitors, Macclesfield Town, sufficiently to allow Plymouth to win 2-0 and gain their first three points of the season. They still languish in 24th spot though.
Of course, we all know about Leon Noel, the Liverpool youngster, whose entire name is a palindrome, but keep an eye out for Abu Ogogo who netted for Dagenham & Redbridge this week. Now, we openly tell the world how much we hate clubs with ampersands, but is there another player out there whose surname is a palindrome? And, if so, does his club have an ampersand in their name? The search begins.

Angus Eve is a famous Trinidadian footballer whose surname is a palendrome....(FootballCynic writes: No, we're not allowing that. Three letters, indeed. A minimum of five needed for a challenge to Mr Ogogo.)

It dont think we can blame the wrong shirts in the crowd for confusing Macc Town - they can get confused all on their own. (FootballCynic writes: It seems to have been one of those games where everyone was supporting Plymouth Argyle, which seems a bit harsh on Macclesfield Town)
