There is a phenomenon silently being chronicled on our behalf of which everyone is aware and
yet dare not speak it's name the shameful, shameful existence of the 'Full-kit wanker': a grown man
who is happy to be seen, striding around in public wearing a full football kit; shirt, shorts,
socks, even shinnies the whole kit and caboodle.
No idea why, but this clip is doing the rounds this afternoon after those bods over at Football
365 got the ball rolling. Pies have now watched it four-score and 20 times consecutively and we can
now safely conclude that there's nothing to not like about it.
He's not captain of the best team (at the moment!) in the Premier League for nothing. Manchester
City's Vincent Kompany, also arguably the best centre-half in the Premier League, has revealed how
he once beat a friend with a stick in order to make him run faster.
VANCOUVER, BC — It was a dream-come-true for two Vancouver Whitecaps players but a nightmare for
three others. The Major League Soccer-bound Caps rewarded central midfielder Terry Dunfield and
centre back Greg Janicki with MLS contracts Friday but released goalkeeper Simon Thomas and
defenders Willis Forko and Luca Bellisomo.
What? No, it's not remotely odd that thirty-odd grown men are clamouring for another grown man's

Gonzalo Higuain's taste in pop songs and tarts, natch. Recently, the Real Madrid striker proudly
professed that his favourite song is 'The Climb'. By none other than Miley Cyrus.
Central African Republic recorded a major upset by going to Egypt and winning 3-2 in an African
Cup of Nations qualifying match. But before that happened and while Egypt still led 2-1 early in
the second half, CAR goalkeeper Geoffrey Lembet went briefly insane.
Lembet was receiving treatment on the pitch and when the referee told him to go off so the
physio could continue to look him over, Lembet snapped.
Working for the weekend, just like Loverboy or your local omnipotent deity, implies a rest
period. Which makes it even more absurd that I willingly set my alarm for 4:15 most Saturday and
Sunday mornings in anticipation of European soccer.
"Nicky Butt, Nicky Butt, Nicky Nicky Butt, na na na na na na na na!" Manchester United fans have
been singing since the 90's. The KC and the Sunshine Band tune enjoyed a resurgence in our ground a
couple of years ago when Rodrigo Possebon was on the scene.
Arsenal fans have now adopted the song for Samir Nasri, or, Naseri as the song would have you
believe.
Or perhaps the better question is: does Chelsea's world class douche-back Ashley Cole think at
all?Really, dude? An air rifle? What are you? A 12-year old delinquent? Aren't you a grown man with
a stunning wife to cheat on?On Modern Family, Luke's punishment for recklessly shooting someone
with a toy gun was to be shot by it.
