Feel free to indulge yourself in DK's delightfully round calves @ 0:20. We did. Cheers SM!

Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy is a multi-tasker. Not only can he deliver genuine lines about how the American Youth Soccer Organisation (AYSO) helped him earlier in his career whilst smiling widely, he also knows how to plant naughty subliminal images in our minds with a simple shake of his hips.

It's taken us awhile one to two weeks, but who's counting? to come to terms with the fact that Theo Walcott is officially off the market. In reality, we've had seven long (agonising for some more than others) years of these two together, but the pain runs deep all the same.

But enough of our inability to deal with reality.

We're aware that our reputation precedes us at press conferences, there's no need to take your precautionary measures this far, Philippe. We know you're there, we can see you hiding behind that wall.

Two of Italy's top WAGs donned two drastically different looks at Milan Fashion Week shows over the weekend, and today's fashion off has taken us back to the wholeheartedly good vs exceptionally evil F5 contest between Xabi Alonso and Marco Borriello from light years ago (Alonso's ginger halo won out).

From attempting to leave the gas station while the car is still being filled to an ice skating mission on a frozen but ultimately not frozen enough pond, we're heavy contributors to the pantheon of dumb.

"I think, from the outside, you can probably see that it's not been ideal but
the important thing is not to focus on individual relationships too much."

As Signore Maldini proved on the sidelines of this past weekend's AC Milan v Juventus match, it's never too late to work a daily dollop of sunscreen into one's grooming regime. And in our bedroom eyes, he will forever have "it" whether his skin colouring is sourced from nature or nurture. Image: Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images Europe.

Liverpool FC lifted their first silverware in six years yesterday, after narrowly beating Cardiff City on penalties at Wembley. As usual, by the time we've got around to covering the match, everyone has said all there is to say, so we'll stick to what we do best.

That'll be some nudity, an excited bubba and some hysterical footballers, then.

Once we got over the fact that Mikel Arteta thought we were a brand of confectionery, we were rather taken with this cosy little exchange.

While our new bezzie mate, Chris Cohen, admirably probes the Arsenal midfielder on intriguing subjects such as tapas, Fernando Torres goal drought and whether Wojciech Szczesny is as hot as he thinks he is, try and watch the above exclusive vid without constantly checking out Mikel's hot thigh action.

We've got to say, while canvassing your opinions as to the hotness quotient of various players is an endless source of fun and amusement for us, too much of a good thing is bad for you. We actually ate so much confectionery yesterday that one of us is dipping in and out of a sugar coma as we write, so you can be sure we've tested the theory thoroughly.

Victoria Beckham is gracing the pages of Madame Figaro this month, and although we can't read much of what's on their cover, we're going to hazard a guess that the text is all about the "F" word: her fabulous life, fabulous hubby, fabulous fashion business and all the fabulosity that comes with it.

Four years ago, we asked you to send over your footie blogs for our perusal and many were crushed in the stampede to show us what you were doing.

But that was along time ago, Kickettes. Since that time, technology has advanced to such an extent that player performance can be monitored via their shoes, manager's are keeping control of their charges' off-pitch activities via GPS (sort of) and everyone with a smartphone is an Oscar winner in-waiting.
