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.

All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award winning Dirty Tackle...

Sick of those damn strikers getting all the glory? Make like Chacarita defender Mariano Echeverria and steal a pass, sprint up the pitch, pass to yourself, then go top corner on the keeper.

Kids and their youtube crack me up! Yesterday a player I coach in my Online Soccer Academy, 9 year old Andrew Little, sent me a message to my MontzTV account on youtube with a link to his belly dance video. It's great! Best 39 seconds of the day I will have for sure!

Not to mention there was a surprise cameo by Ginge Talks the Footy's cat Mr.

It's Monday. Drinking time is still hours away. But at least we can reminisce on a pretty entertaining weekend of footy.

We were pleasantly surprised to see the delectable Thierry Henry back on UK shores he was at the Emirates with his daughter Tea and girlfriend Andrea. His return coincided with Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas doing a hard core badge kissing display, which has prompting some to say this is a sign he is heading to Barca for certain.

Barakaldo 1-0 CD Mirandes (13:09:09)

I didn't count them all but I'd guesstimate that Bilbao has roughly a thousand bars which are all - almost without exception - absolutely fantastic. Their two line metro system is easy to negotiate and I almost need to do a wee of excitement at this juncture when I tell you; they also have four football stadiums within 12 metro stops: Athletic Bilbao (San Mames), Portugalete (Portugalete), Sestao River Club (Sestao) and our new favourite team Barkaldo (Barkaldo).

Did anyone see the Arse stick one over the jocks the other night playing wonderful footy as they have been doing all season. Anyway, I was down the battle-cruiser with my mate Soffo The Greek last night and he couldn't believe the reaction to Eduardo's iffy penalty decision in the media. He was so mad he said he'll even vent his spleen in The Den.

So we got from this

Joleon Lescott was cheered every time he touched the ball as Everton beat Malaga 2-1 in a pre-season friendly at Goodison Park.
The defender, who has told the club he wants to leave, could have expected a tough night, but his name received the loudest applause before the game.
