A German internet site devoted to finding partners for infidelity worth noting when considering
the voting pool took a poll of 1300 female members to find the most desirable man of the German
national team. In an completely shocking turn, Mario Gomez led the vote, which means there's a joke
to go here about his ability to score on the pitch mirroring his ability to score off it as
well.
Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic is facing divorce after his Wife flew in from Germany to find
another Woman's clothes and make-up in her Husband's Manchester flat.
Patrica Klasnic told Bunte magazine:
"Everywhere in his flat were pictures of women and in the wardrobe hung blouses which didn't
belong to me, remainders of make-up everywhere.
He may we be having a fairly decent (though largely unheralded) season, but Bolton striker Ivan
Klasnic is staring down the barrel of a D.I.V.O.R.C.E after his wife flew in from Germany and made
a surprise to his flat in Manchester only to discover a wardrobe full of other women's clothes
and make-up, along with several 'compromising' photographs.
There's a good chance that this is flagrant horsesh*t, but apparently Chelsea owner
Roman Abramovich is building a £20 million 'nightclub complex' under Stamford
Bridge so that he can 'keep an eye' on his wayward players.
The as-yet nameless club is said to be based on a club Abramovich fell in love with in America
and, amongst other things, will feature a £150,000 waterfall at the entrance and big cereal bowls
of cocaine for the Terry party.
As is our usual policy when it comes to matters of extreme seriousness in football, we choose to
plead the fifth amendment. For those not familiar with the United States constitution, it reads as
follows:
'No Kickette staffer should be forced to comment on a footballing situation that may or may not
involve crime/infidelity/buffoon-like behaviour, on the basis that they are completely ill-equipped
to deal with such matters and will invariably panic and say something that will get the site sued
and/or look really stupid.
What? Did I say something wrong? Frederik Fetterlein ponders the very real possibility of not be
invited into any more dressing rooms in the near future. Image: tjektv.dk

Happily, they have each other. For the time being, it's probably going to remain that way. (Getty

It's here. It's there. Apparently, it's ruddy everywhere. Let's be honest, who was surprised
when news broke this weekend that Newcastle United's Andy Carroll (single) and his care in the
community worker (married) Kevin Nolan had been busted for allegedly taking their celebration of
Nolan's hat trick in the Magpie's 5-1 demolition of Sunderland a little too far**?
The similarities between Tiger Woods fall from grace compared to Wayne Rooney's is remarkable.
Both men were at one time considered the face of their sport and the best marketing tool used to
promote the game. And following their shocking news of infidelity both Nike men escaped into
exile.
Wayne Rooney has had a very tough year. Last year's best domestic player will miss today's huge
Champions League match at Valencia due to an ankle injury received last weekend in that 2-2 draw
with Bolton. Rooney was injured early in the second half of league action and the troubled forward
was forced to leave the game in the 61st minute.
The Red half of Manchester has gone silent. It's been the transfer rumour of the week,
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney could be joining Real Madrid at the end of the
season for a fee worth €70m- €100m (£58m - £83m). The England striker is reported to be
unahppy with life in England and after the recent infidelity tabloid stories were published, a move
could be imminent.
To break up, or stay faithful? Javier Mascherano, Kaka & Cescy feel the pain of indecision. Images:

We're used to football players having a somewhat 'loose' grasp of fidelity in relationships. How
these guys haven't figured that using prostitutes and/or sending photos of their man-parts to
random girls is not acceptable behaviour within a loving relationship we're not sure, but the
debate certainly whiles away many a happy hour in the Kickette office.

The Kings Road in London has always been renowned as one of the capital's classiest places to
live. Unfortunately right now the football team that inhabit that area, have in their mitts
individuals that lack even an inch of class.
Ok so footballers have never been angels, from George Best's drinking and womanising of the
sixties right up to the alleged incidents of today involving Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney.
We gotta hand it to the 6'4, silky jet-black haired Croatian man candy: Tottenham's Vedran
Ćorluka finally kicked the drunk-off-her-arse-in-public bird to the kerb.
Ćorluka's ex-girlfriend, Iva Buzov, moved out of their London flat and high-tailed it back to
Zagreb two months ago.
An MP in our fine and morally superior House of Commons this week revealed it's Ryan Giggs at
the centre of the Twitter saga.
Well, I was shocked, I had no idea it was him. I'd like to thank this MP for guiding me. The
public service he demonstrated was what this country has been lacking.

For Manchester United and its supporters, it was a week they would rather forget. It began on
March 30, 2010 when Wayne Rooney limped off with an ankle injury after Bayern Munich scored an
injury-time winner during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.
Football is without doubt the biggest, most stupid sport in the history of the planet. The
unthinkable regularly happens like a London bus timetable. And not just on the pitch, but also
behind the scenes.
You probably live and are reading this article on Mars if you haven't yet heard the 'new' Wayne
Rooney rumour.
Wayne Rooney is rarely, if ever, substituted unless he is carrying an injury or we've got a lot
of important games over a short period of time towards the business end of the season. Whether he's
playing well or playing badly, he tends to see out the 90 minutes.
However, following his poor form this season, you would have been forgiven for thinking that Sir
Alex Ferguson was making a brave move at the Reebok yesterday in subbing him off.
Manchester United's roster will include Wayne Rooney for today's UEFA Champions League clash
with Rangers, and Sir Alex Ferguson believes Rooney will respond well in his first club match since
the public revelations about his infidelity.
Ferguson excluded Rooney from United's weekend fixture against Everton for fear of the striker
taking abuse after his personal life became tabloid fodder.
Wayne Rooney and John Terry are no strangers to negative gossip media, but do not blame them, it
is not their fault
It seems impossible now to go more than a few weeks without a media story breaking that exposes
the alleged infidelity, criminality or immorality of a Premiership footballer.
Sex scandals are becoming synonymous with football these days but the real question is
does it affect the player?...
We have had John Terry, Ashley Cole, Franck Ribery and Peter Crouch over the last few months all
have sex scandals plastered all over the front pages of the tabloids.
It is difficult to find anything positive to talk about when discussing the current state of the
England camp. Following their disastrous 1-1 draw against Algeria on Friday, media and fans alike,
me included, have been berating the players and manager on what may prove to be, the defining
moment in another failed World Cup campaign, I did however, today, see a small indication of a
positive development peek out of the fog.
With the Bridge-Terry conflict making its may around the papers and the recent revelation that
the 1998 U.S. national team had a similar problem with a riff that developed between Wynalda
and Harkes, it seems like soccer players are about as fallible as anyone when it comes to the
ladies.
People may, as we speak, be lighting candles outside Leytonstone Town Hall this afternoon. David
Beckham, one of the more public faces of the London bid to host this summers Olympic games found
out earlier today that he will not be in the squad for this summers matches, another layer of
controversy added to a team which seems to be pleasing very few people at the moment.
Sorry it's a couple of days late folks but I've decided to do this weeks 'Wag Of The
Week' on a young lady who is an ex of Jermaine Defoe. Why have I picked her? Just because I have
been watching Ultimate Big Brother recently and it makes me laugh at how stereotypical a WAG she
is...
This blondie was on Big Brother Uk many a year ago, pretty much off the fact that she got her
boobs out for lads mags, but now she has returned to our screens for the epic Ultimate Big
Brother.
On Friday, I found myself unable to escape the media feeding frenzy otherwise known as the Tiger
Woods press conference. There was wall-to-wall coverage on pretty much every network; everyone had
their own opinion about the press conference that... Read more
