We had other plans for this space today, Kickettes.

But, our in-box wants what it wants. And this morning, we were emailed a set of Fernando Torres photos that involve him getting wet in the name of his PES 2009* advert. This sole situation would be enough to warrant our undivided attention, time and focus for at least three weeks.

This season has not started the best for Everton, so far they have been unable to recapture the form they showed last season in the league and  sit a lowly 13th.

I never thought I'd say it, but this is it the eyebrow of seduction is just too powerful. It needs to be reigned in and controlled like a military grade weapon. The UN needs to sanction it and ethics professors need to include discussion of its proper use in their curriculum. This simply cannot go on.

It's Barca, Bojan's giving you the lazy eye, and they thrashed Zaragoza 6-1 yesterday. What more can we say? For all those who can't stop talking about the midweek loss to Rubin, Xavi wants you to grab an umbrella and sit down NOW.

"It has been proved that the cycle was not finished because the only difference between Rubin and Zaragoza was our success in front of goal, because our philosophy of attacking play is always the same," he said.

Gerard Pique is looking hella hot in an shoot he did last week for Catalan publication Plaer D'avui, but then again, he always does! Even the pink trainers seem to work.

Suchao Nutnum, the TOT defender, had shots fired at him in the early hours of Friday morning, news report here, but I understand he made training and gave no indication of anything untoward happening.
Can you imagine if it had been an English player? He would be on the phone to his pet journo, he'd have sympathetic photos of him and his suitably concerned looking WAG staring puppy like out of the tabloid before checking themselves in counselling, booking a couple of TV shows then writing a book about it.

Many have been mesmerized by the sensual dancers on Italian TV show Chiambretti Night, but no one enjoyed it as much as Uncle Carlo! We don't know what's going on "behind" but someone bring a bucket of water, per favore!

Also, Chelski's coach has made it clear that he does not want to be on the same table as Jose Mourinho if UEFA ever decides to hold one of those awkward gala dinners that Pele ever so enjoys.
