HSV ride the failbus

Dirty Tackle 16 September @ 01:49 PM EST

The moment you see the massive team bus approach the cameraman on that impossibly narrow side street, you know this won't end well. It just won't. Like Cristiano Ronaldo in Paris Hilton's bedroom, no good can come of the situation.

Corinthians On Fire

See The Cup 04 May @ 03:32 AM EST

This is what happened to the trophy of state champions that Corinthians received. The tiny pieces of paper caught on fire with the fireworks used. Another great product of the terrible people from the Paulista Football Federation. Captain Willian had to get rid of the trophy to save himself as his jersey caught on fire as well.

So this is the second time in a few weeks where a footballer - one kinda famous, one kinda not so much - has demolished the front of his car only to walk away completely unscathed.

The Offside 23 December @ 03:00 PM EST
Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna has surely had better days than yesterday, when he was merrily driving along only for his car to plunge off a bridge.

Anfield Banter 01 October @ 04:50 PM EST
Stevie-G was 'visibly upset' after hitting a ten-year-old boy while driving along Grantham Road in Birkdale earlier today. Apparently Jamie Hellawell, the young victim, ran out from between two parked cars and into the side of Gerrard's Bentley. Eyewitnesses claim there was little our captain could do to prevent it.
