Hatem Ben Arfa should be gone but not forgotten by now. More precisely, he should be remembered by old heads around the block under the guise of “the streets will never forget” accompanied by video highlights of the two seasons in which he was entirely unplayable: 2011-12 with Newcastle United and 2015-16 with Nice.
Norwich City's 1-1 draw against Coventry on Saturday stretched the Canaries' unbeaten run in the Championship to 10 games.
While league leaders Norwich may have hoped to take all three points against 20th-placed Coventry, the point won't be taken for granted as Daniel Farke's side was without 13 players through injury.
To the surprise of nobody, Schalke lost again on Saturday in a pitiful 4-1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The defeat extended the club’s winless run in the Bundesliga to 25 games. Tasmania Berlin holds the all-time winless record in the Bundesliga with a 31-game winless streak.
Torino's Andrea Belotti was allowed to run on to the back post by Sampdoria's defense in the first half of the matchup between the two sides on Monday and promptly made his opponent's pay.
Belotti tucked away his seventh league goal of the season after a lovely piece of skill by 19-year-old right back Wilfried Sango was followed by an inch-perfect cross to find the club captain in the six-yard box.
Not everyone can handle the stress of high-scoring, emotional soccer matches. I get it. Maybe you have high blood pressure, a small child sleeping in the next room or just need something to watch while you fall asleep.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane defended forward Eden Hazard's mental fortitude after the forward picked up another injury, ruling him out of Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Belgium national team doctor Kris van Crombrugge had suggested Hazard's injury issues since joining Real were down to mental stress, however Zidane refuted those claims.
SubSoccer is probably one of the greatest inventions ever for footballers to work on their foot skills without having to stand up. This sit-down table football game was developed in Finland and it needs to be installed under every table in the U.S.
This would be a great way to keep customers occupied while waiting for food and drinks or even a great date idea. Obviously now would not be the best time to have people barefoot and touching the table top, but it would definitely draw a lot of attention. It is good for all ages and a fun way to get everyone playing football.
By the standards of most clubs, second place in the Champions League group and a slim lead in the domestic table heading into December would represent an unqualified success. Alas, Paris Saint-Germain is not most clubs.
In the latest edition of one of the many Istanbul derbies, Beşiktaş came out on top against rivals Fenerbahçe, 4-3.
Beşiktaş entered the game having won three of its last four, most recently defeating fellow Istanbul side Basaksehir. Sergen Yalçın's side endured an inconsistent start to the season, going four games without a win from mid-September into early October. Since then, though, it has been much improved, moving into fourth place as a result of Sunday's win.

It belongs to Tasmania's identity."
