Retired Serie A footballer turned Ligue 1 club manager, Marco Simone, has the most interesting hair style if "style" is even the right word to call it?

You think those haven't-been-washed-in-weeks strands are all really his, Kickettes? Or is this the effed up work of a hair piece?

Office holiday parties. Going to any, Kickettes?

Since we already go out drinking together two to three times a week at least it's safe to say we'll probably be throwing ourselves a bash of some kind soon. Even if it's just the half dozen of us drunkenly shouting for the corner kebab stand to open up at 2 a.

David and Didier, you don't always pick up your phones when we call and we hate you for that. Please understand that we need you to be reachable at all times.

We realise this seems like a double standard since we almost always press the silent button after the first ring, no matter who the caller is.

So (freshly-inked) Aaron Ramsey's pose is 'slightly different' than the position Gareth Bale assumed during his supportive gesture towards Team GB last week, but at least you still get a good view of the Olympic rings and games logo.

In a new interview with FHM España, Pique describes his personal style as "modern and elegant," and says he typically opts for jeans and t-shirts during the day, but switches to a button down (and sometimes a tie) in the evenings.
