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 [.

The Old Lady was helped immensely by their grey beards. Gigi Buffon brought off spectacular save after another, Andrea Pirlo created most of the movement from deep within midfield, and Alessandro Del Piero scored Juve's second goal to help keep the Derby D'Italia in their hands.

It was an enthralling match and Inter managed to give Juve some very anxious moments in the first half through Diego Milito and Diego Forlan.

For ALL fans of Minnesota Stars FC
The annual event is upon us.
Along with the usual slate of comparing winter beards of the male attendees and electing a new board of directors we have lots of planning to do.
What can you do to help make the Dome Opener a success?
Got an idea for tifo?

Fishtown Hipsters, kicking in the balls. I have to give it to the Russians, they know how to make surprise moves, even Bobby Fischer wouldn't have seen this one coming. We all were anticipating a team of skilled bullies in order to break us physically, to get at least one of us hurt. Instead they went the other way.

Right back at you Men. Now let's go get that kumbaya moment in Chester, Pa. and back here at Robertson next week.

Oh, and while I do seem to have the floor here. The Worldwide Leader put out their Top 10 MLS Goals of the season this past weekend from all games except the Dynamo win from Sunday night.

There are a lot of funny and impressive incidents in football this week, and all of them related to 'attitudes'
I think this is the best (or worst) dive I seen in my life,
He got yellow card, however with this attitude, I think he deserved a red one :)
Well, did you think that player was cheating or he did over-dive?

This video is something you don't see every day. And it's probably something you'll never see another team do. It features the footballers from AC Milan taking to the pitch at the San Siro for a pre-match warm-up session wearing fake massive beards!

The players and staff run around the pitch with the beards in tow, some of them slugging the beards over their shoulders as they get in the way.

In which the AC Milan first-string run out to warm up before their 1-0 win over Cesena on Sunday with huge beards tacked to their faces. Why? All will become clear...

That's right, they're shamelessly shilling for Nivea!

Thanks to Pies fan Milutin Vujicic for the nudge.
