You may remember that back in May I reviewed a football for this blog. You probably don't, but such is life.
If you do, you would remember that Soccerpro asked me to give an "honest, unbiased opinion" on the blog and in return, I could keep the product they sent me. To me, it seemed a fair offer, so that was exactly what I did: I wrote an honest review - that it was a good football, and in return I had a lovely football to play with until I kicked it on the neighbour's roof, never to be seen again.

As a Christmas present for her hubbie, Victoria Beckham bought some micro-pigs. What are micro-pigs, you ask? Really small pigs that for some reason are the new "in" thing.

She has splashed out £1,400 on the latest must-have celebrity designer pets.
Posh, 35, took delivery of the nine-inch, 13lb porkers earlier this week.

James Beattie

Beattie, a Sheffield United player last season, slowly adjusted to his move up to the Premier League to open this season. Going into last weekend the thirty-one year old had yet to find the back of the net. This would change though against West Ham last weekend.

In a game with few chances on either side, LA Galaxy keeper Donovan Ricketts made enough big plays to deny the Houston Dynamo in a scoreless draw Sunday afternoon at Robertson Stadium. For the fifth straight MLS game, Houston finished with 10 men, as Brian Ching was sent off in the 84th minute.
David Beckham's celebrity probably helped account for the season-high crowd of 29,470 that nearly filled Robertson today. Click to continue reading...

I know, I know, it sounds silly. Â Anton Ferdinand puts in an own goal and gives Manchester United a draw (which allows them to stay atop the EPL rankings) and that somehow exhibits Man U's power? Â It does. Â Let me show you.

Positives: His name has been dragged through the press this week by Rafael Benitez for not awarding a penalty so maybe he will be more likely to award penalties in our favour..?

Negatives: He's a fussy cunt who likes to be centre of attention and enjoys the celebrity that comes with sending players off for fuck all.

Basketball star wants penalty shootout with celebrity soccer fan provoker David Beckham has been challenged to a penalty shootout by basketball player Shaquille O'Neal. In a bid to promote his new TV show get Beckham roused for the contest, O'Neal chose the very personal medium of Twitter to throw down the gauntlet. Click to continue reading...

In what is perhaps the true definition of hypocrisy, American author Grant Wahl is looking to cash in on David Beckham's celebrity persona by writing a book about.... that very same David Beckham circus that moved across the Atlantic three years ago.
Some notable quotes taken from the book were from Beckham's Galaxy team-mate Landon Donovan, who is quoted as saying Becks ‘wasn't committed,' sees his spell at Galaxy ‘as a joke' and is a ‘tightwad'. Click to continue reading...

One of the many sons of Reggae legend Bob Marley, David Nesta Marley better known as Ziggy Marley is a New England Revolution fan.Â
Ziggy came to the forefront in the US with his Top 40 single "Tomorrow People".Â
