Have to say, we're feeling a little let down by the high potential for short-tentability but low production of said short-tents in these getups.

Wonder if the airbrushers were out in force again? One can hope.

Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard were out last night at the premiere pre-party of 15 Minutes That Shook The World, held at Jamie's restaurant, Cafe Sports.

It was, for them, a blazer and denim occasion. Who do you think works the look better?

We're going to have to go with Stevie, who has obviously taken inspiration from the newest footy fash trend, and gone velvet smooth for the occasion.

Some uplifting news for the Liverpudlians. Stevie G is ready to rock n' roll against City this weekend. Will Liverpool join the list of clubs that have stuck it to City?

Personally, I think Liverpool played well against Birmingham - they faltered familiarly on set pieces but overall they were a number of positives.

Yes, no, maybe, no, no, yes, no, yes, maybe, maybe, yesI want nothing more than to break down the injury situation this week in a clear and useful fashion. I'm afraid that I won't be able do it though. There are so many injuries to so many high-profile players - and so many questions hanging around the extent of some of these injuries - that I know I'm going to miss something.

Well, it's certainly large enough to fit all the sachets of green tea one would require for a transatlantic flight.

But does that make it right?

Your thoughts on Mrs. Beckham's Louis Vuitton from his Spring RTW 2010 show? Have you already been wait-listed, or are you giving this one a pass?

Rio Ferdinand seen heading to Rosso for a meeting with his foodie colleagues. Love the jumper, hate the hat.

We certainly hope our Manchester-based readers are doing extra sit-ups and polishing their best pair of pulling pants to get ready for the opening of Rio Ferdinand's new restaurant, Rosso.

What on earth could have caused Francesco Totti's wife Ilary to have such a reaction?

Click through to find out. (And no, it's not seeing her hubby in a mullet.)

We've seen Fabio Capello, Jose Mourinho and others of their ilk get the Italian TV show Chiambretti Night treatment, and this time around it was Ilary's turn.

Sometimes fashion photos can just speak for themselves, Kickettes.

But not in this case. Because, well, in this case fashion has no voice.

It's suffering from laryngitis and needs a throat lozenge. It has been up too late gossiping and is scratchy and hoarse. It has a mincemeat pie lodged in its gob.

Well, colour us impressed. Didn't Coleen Rooney have her baby, like, an hour ago? She's already got her Louboutins back on and her eye cream game working in high gear. Res-peck. It's good for new mums to get back out into the land of those that eat solid foot and belch without assistance, no?

It goes without saying that we completely understand the (somewhat unhealthy) craving of owning a glam and blinding engagement ring from the footballing man of your dreams. Having a high cash value prize to sport on your finger is a lovely way to seperate yourself from those that have to work for a living or clean their own houses.

So much for boho chic. Some of our most beloved boys have taken the dress-down to its extreme: they are now solely existing within the realm of what is being commonly (and offensively?) referred to in fashion circles as Hobo-Chic.

Case in point: the lovely Owen Hargreaves looks like he's going through some kind of major life crisis with a side of empty shaving can-itis; The always gorgeous Niko Kranjcar is one whisker away from us speed-dialing a team of stylists armed with tuxedos and hair gel.

Each week, for the past 32 weeks, Alex Gerrard has tapped the inner depths of her shopping soul for Now Magazine to provide style and beauty advice to wagabees, randoms and beauty peasants alike.

Although we approved of her hangover treatment recommendations, she never did properly teach us how to perfect her trademark black raccoon eye make-up look.

Many footballers find that expressing themselves creatively on the pitch simply isn't enough.

And so, they turn to denim. Again and again.

Whilst we try to figure out just what exactly is going on with Jamie O'Hara's jeans, perhaps you could weigh in on a) Danielle Lloyd's hairband disguised as hair and b) whether you would go for black & white horizontals yourself?
