Few moments in our history are as big as this. Cristiano becoming a baby daddy. The Iker
beard-shaving incident. Victoria Beckham wearing flat shoes.
Deep breaths.
So, let's just state the obvious: our beloved bottle blond, Fernando Torres, has touched up his
manlights.

Tattooist Leo Millares (above left) is a man who spends too much time with his hands on
footballer flesh for our liking. His latest work, posted on Twitter before the ink had even dried,
is a set of replica pooch prints on the tummies of Guti and his lady love Romina Belluscio.
On the same day as reports that Chelsea players responded to Andre Villas-Boas harsh
critique of their recent performance by giving it right back to him, Porto president Pinto da Costa
announced that Villas-Boas is being undermined by players who still exchange text messages with
Jose Mourinho.
New York Red Fools Arsenal have sparked controversy across the pond after claims they sent an
imposter back to New York in what's being seen as a desperate attempt to keep hold of Thierry
Henry. Red Bulls sporting director Erik Soler told the New York Times: "A gentleman showed up for
training on Friday with [.

This? Oh, it's nothing really. Just a photo of Sergio Aguero and his father-in-law Diego
Maradona (who, I'm led to believe, was a footballer of some distinction at one point) having just
booked in for a game of squash at the David Lloyd Fitness Centre in Cheadle, Greater
Manchester.

Hot on the heels of 'Write The Future' (remember Rooney's beard?) comes Nike's
latest major tournament bells-and-whistles big-budget viral, 'My Time Is Now', starring the like of
Sneijder, Ribery, Van der Vaart, Ozil, Ronaldo, Neymar, Iniesta, Pique, Pato, Old Uncle Tom Cobley,
etc, etc, etc.
From 1974. Look at Phil Lesh's beard! And what is it about women from back then? The really long
hair perhaps.
Anyway, London's in fine form, the sun's beating down gently and pleasantly. Best of all, now
I'm cycling to and from work I don't get the downsides (sweaty underground trips) and enjoy the
open air to the full.
Watching Chelsea win in the Champion's League during the week, I was astounded to see former-red,
Raul Meireles latest look.
Apart from his absurd haircut, he has now also gone for a fully-grown ginger beard aswell, he looks
grotesque.
At the time, I was sorry to see him leave Liverpool FC with his great link-up play among the
forwards and goals last season.

The first leg of Barcelona's Copa del Rey semifinal against Valencia was a bit of an odd game
for them. Not because they failed to win away from home -- that's become something of a norm this
season -- but because Lionel Messi had a penalty kick saved (plus he's got some kind of beard-like
facial growth going on) and Carles Puyol scored their only goal.

Terrifying trousers on hot footballers is something we've had to get used to in our time, but
Luis Figo has confounded us with his late, spectacular entry to the hall of shame. The former Real
Madrid, Barcelona and Portugal international sported these spotty monstrosities whilst playing in
the Abama Pro-Am Golf Tournament last week, and while golf trousers are notoriously heinous, we're
positive that not even serial style offender Ian Poulter would have gone near these things with a
nine-iron.
Here at the Liverpool Offside we've got some shocking news to share with you today: Andy Carroll
thinks Steven Gerrard is kind of awesome. No confirmation on whether he thinks he's big and fucking
hard, too, though if you really dig for it you could infer that he does. And that could probably
get a little awkward for some of you if we decided to mention Steven Gerrard's Groin alongside
regular Steven Gerrard right about now.

Blackburn Rovers fans are helping their side to avoid relegation by growing Gael Givet style
beards. The Ewood Park faithful will mimic the missing musketeers facial hair in a bid to inspire
their side to safety. OTP isn't sure exactly how it works, but let's run with it. Steve Kean's side
will face a close [.
A shirtless Richard Eckersley, yesterdayAfter racking up their many league win, Toronto FC players have been given a much-deserved (?) rest
during the International break. While some of the squad have been called into duty for their
National sides, the remaining players and staff get to enjoy a little fun in the sun before their
next MLS fixture.
Last night at BBVA Compass Stadium, there was a little party with some guests from Spain, and
like with all parties, there were a few surprises. This one, though, is perhaps the greatest.
We all know that Dominic Kinnear's relationship with hair on his head has a long and somewhat,
uh, tortured, or shall we say "mulletted" history.
