So that's that.

Another round of the Grand National has come and gone. Money has been won and lost. Large groups of people were admitted to hospital for alcohol poisoning. Outfits were good, bad, and comical.

Speaking of which, here's our dear gal Alex Gerrard at the races on Saturday.

Cesc Fabregas and Carla Dona Garcia. He really is that tall, y'know.

We're fully embracing our new positive attitude to the women in our lives. No, we've not had too much holiday punch (yes we have).

So brace yourselves while we explore why we should all love Cesc Fabregas' lady Carla Dona Garcia.

Some Lovely Links and an amusing Video...Enjoy!

Carly looked relaxed and Joe looked disturbed by the hair situ going on in the front row. Alex Gerrard, BFF Kelly Ellison and actress Kim Cattrall were also at Anfield to watch Liverpool take on Chelsea.

Alex Gerrard popped out for lunch at Liverpool's Neighbourhood Cafe on Monday in her unofficial uniform of jeans, a t-shirt, and a blazer. She's been pretty faithful to this fashion combo for the past few months, changing up only her accessories.

On this particular day she chose a pair of Miu Miu wedges (previously worn by Coleen Rooney) and the highly-covetable Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

Coleen Rooney was spotted out in Liverpool this aft, having lunch with her mum and making cutesy faces at baby Kai as they loaded up into the Range. She looks bad ass here, no?

How does a site like Kickette cover the recently released shortlist of players nominated for the FIFPro World XI?

Well, we compile a list of the eleven hottest players from that list, ask our beloved readers to critique/slam/dribble on that list, and give our comments moderator a nervous breakdown into the bargain.

"My heart goes out to Alexander's family and friends at this unbelievably sad and tragic time. Fashion has lost one of its most talented and inspirational figures." Cheryl Cole.

"McQueen was a master of fashion, creative genius and an inspiration. Today the fashion industry has lost a true great.

Alex Gerrard watches the match with Lily-Ella and Lexie. The kids stayed off the pitch, as did Fernando Torres's daughter Nora, who we've yet to confirm was even in attendance.

It's always a bittersweet time of the year when the baby parade begins, isn't it Kickettes?

We're devastated that the season is slipping away like so much cheap wine, but yet, our ovaries are heading into high-geared excitement over the many footy kids soon to be prancing around the pitch in shoes worth more than our mortgages.

On Saturday, Coleen Rooney and Danielle Lloyd headed out for night on the tiles. They're both new mums and we think they have never looked better.

That's right, we are completely devoid of any snark or semi-witty quips post-statement.

- Before saying cheese for the camera at The Didier Drogba Foundation Charity Ball in Victoria Beckham Saturday night, Christine Bleakley cozied up to injured Frank Lampard in the stands of Chelsea's match against Everton.

Fernando Torres, the man that put the "phroar" in freckles, turned 26 this weekend. In honour of the sexy Spaniard's big day, let's all take a moment to reflect on what colour highlights we prefer with our Nando. We call these, "sunshine dreams". Happy birthday, Fern, and here's wishing you a fantabulous year full of good hair days and epic bitchfaces.

We're all for taking inspiration from the catwalk and otherwise, but it looks like Alex Gerrard has gone for a literal interpretation of this Sandro t-shirt and jacket combo shown by Net-A-Porter.com.

We say: "personal style" is something that evolves and changes over time.

The clothing couture world is vast, Kickettes, yet some of the world's most fashionable WAGs are all wearing the same things.

After the epically entertaining circus that descended on Baden-Baden for the 2006 World Cup, it would have taken a miracle from the Gods of Cristal to give us a repeat performance from the English WAGs for the 2010 event.

As we all know, the GoC were clearly cross with us for the amount of champagne spillage that occurred at Kickette HQ over the years, and as such, there was 1.

Alex Gerrard launched her new collection for Forever Unique at the Barton Arcade in Manchester last night. An after party followed at Manchester's Circle Club and a slew of Northwest soap stars and WAGs turned up to decimate the champagne supply. Lucky.

Alex wore a black asymmetric mini dress from her line with an over-sized clutch and black ankle boots.

Aston Villa WAGs and apparent BFFs Jessica Lawlor and Chantelle Tagoe put on their finery and attended the launch of designer Philip Armstrong's new bridal collection last week. The label's designs are favoured by many of the Northwest WAGs, including Coleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard, and is known for their custom-made dresses.

The cat coat lost. How is that even possible? It's a CAT COAT.

Let's all raise a glass to the players, WAGs and random situations that our beloved (and click happy) readers voted as their favourites in our first annual Readers Choice Awards for 2009.

We were seriously impressed by the number of votes that took place so we want to say thanks, gang!

Ah, denim. A wardrobe staple for the masses for gazillions of years.

And for good reason: Jeans are affordable (usually), comfortable (most of the time), and can be dressed up or down. Pretty simple.

But then why, (oh why) do so many WAGs commit heinous Offenses Against Denim on a regular basis?

The Grand National at Aintree is one of the most hotly anticipated events of the northwest WAG social calendar. (It's also a big day for those that earn a living selling alcohol, bless ‘em.)

Yes, each Spring, the ladies of Liverpool and beyond put on their best glad rags, drink copious amounts of champers and catch up on all the gossip while under the guise of being interested in men on horses racing around a dirt track.

A note before we begin to our readers: 1. If you aren't following us on twitter, you're missing breaking news when it happens 2. Unlike other sites that post rumours with no basis on fact (see the Alex Gerrard "sister" joke of a news piece), we work hard to research our stories as much as possible see our breaking open of the completely mis-reported story on Sara Carbonero, for example.

Alex Gerrard made her way to the Jane Fullerton salon in Liverpool to get her regular blow out over the weekend. If her outfit looks familiar then you've been paying attention, Kickettes. Get yourselves a Hobnob and a high five.

You may recall that Mrs. Gerrard wore this exact same outfit to the Sex and The City 2 screening party she attended earlier this summer.

Don't panic, Kickettes, Sheree Murphy (wife of Australia and Galatasaray midfielder Harry Kewell) has not broken both of her wrists. Nor is she using a new breakthrough anti-aging hand treatment. The white wraps on her hands are for kickboxing.

Yes, exercise. Have you heard of it? We're not much familiar.

What went down this weekend goss-wise that you need to know about? Let's take a keen look, as directed by Sylvie. Image: Facebook.

Saturday

- Prior to the weekend kicking off in grand, drunken fashion, Sylvie van der Vaart played it smart by showing off new shots from her campaign for Gillette razors.

Alex Gerrard and daughter Lexie brave the snow on their way to lunch in Liverpool.

Footballers, they're such fertile chappies, aren't they? Let's get an update on what's happening with some new(ish) arrivals and announcements.

- As we previously mentioned, Raul Albiol was given an early surprise on January 7 when daughter Alma was born a little early.

Alex Gerrard, Coleen Rooney and Claudine Keane were out in full fashion force last week for the opening of the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool. Let's check in with the ladies to see what they're wearing and what they've been up to.

Alex Gerrard

Fashion breakdown:
Don't say she doesn't recycle.

Earlier this week, Victoria Beckham presented her A/W 2010 collection in New York to rave reviews. Indeed, Posh looks to have found her groove with fashion her dresses have been worn by dozens of celebrities to some seriously high profile events.

Strangely, though no WAGs as yet have stepped up in fash-support of Lady V to wear her body-con, structured looks.

Luis Figo's wife, Helen Swedin is shilling something for Philips. Anti-counterfeit Cash Scanner? Mouse hairdryer? Electric Figofied Chest-Hair Softener? No clue.

Having spent the last few weeks knee deep in scandalous stories about footballers & their myriad indiscretions (hell on the Louboutins, as you can imagine), its's a relief to be able to bring you a post full of merriment and good cheer.

Peter Crouch's Abigail Clancy is not interested
This quick bit of news coming out of the always reliable Times of India: women are being offered boob jobs as part of a package to entice more female visitors to South Africa for the World Cup.
Doctors at a South Africa surgery center have come up with the scheme to encourage more female visitors to visit the country this coming June.

It seems as though Sylvie van der Vaart has found her calling Kickettes and it doesn't involve organizing her Birkin bags by colour.

During the second week of competition on Let's Dance, Sylvie and her partner scored 27 points, earning her the second highest score of the night and another week of dancing.

Man City keeper Shay Given and wifey Jane take a walk in Alderley Edge yesterday. Jane wore Alex Gerrard's favourite Balmain jacket, Zanotti boots and a coveted black Birkin. We believe Shay emitted testosterone as he walked since he looks rather fit.

'Tis the season for WAGtastic weddings and more 'baller babies than we can shake a stick at. Warm wishes are in order to the following footballers and their friends and fams, who we hope will have bought the blingiest items on their wedding/baby shower list:

Babies!

- Soon to be exes, Pato and Sthefany, narrowly escaped a mucho awkward run-in with one another in Brazil this weekend. Sthef was there for modeling work while Pato was chillin' for pleasure.

- Seeing Victoria Beckham's extensions from all sides did not help her head's cause.
