Just stumbled across this WAG gold and it would be remiss of me not to share.
Here's a suited-and-booted Sami Khedira looking very dapper in a DJ and posing alongside his
incredibly beautiful German model girlfriend, Lena Gercke the salient point being that the lovely

The following is copy-and-pasted verbatim from a Chelsea forum, in which
former former youth Chelsea player Sam Tillen who now plays his football in Iceland writes
candidly about his experiences as having John Terry as his club captain during his formative
years.

On the day of his 30th birthday, Genoa's Rodrigo Palacio (he of 'abysmal rat-tail/Jedi bog
chain' horror hair fame) scored against Lazio on Sunday with an absurdly deft,
over-the-shoulder flick at the near post that lobbed over the flapping Federico Marchetti and in at
the far post.

Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Falkirk striker Farid El Alagui sharing a moment outside what
appears to be an air-raid shelter...
Pies says: "Sir Alex's smile begins to fade as a fifteenth consecutive game
of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' ends in a draw"
You say?

Apparently 'Cat's Eye' is a film adapted from one of Stephen King's lesser works about a
Warnock-faced troll that kills parrots and steals children's breath. It had Drew Barrymore and
James Woods in it. I'm sure they can't remember it in the slightest.

Etisalat Cup y mantiene sus chances de

Jugando mejor, el equipo local (Al Wahda) se fue al descanso (sólo) 1-0 arriba por gol (de cabeza)

Much like the first-string's executive decision to stop playing after 45 minutes, it seems like
the Chelsea media bods also forgot to bring their 'A' game at the Bridge yesterday...
I distinctly hope that someone in the club's marketing department was flogged with barbed wire
until the first light of dawn for this grave dereliction of duty.

Nike have just launched the new home and away Brazil kits for 2012/13 and roped in a few of
their young flock Neymar, Ganso and Pato (in photo form) to perform the ribbon-cutting
duties...

A few details worth noting: Each shirt is made from 13 recycled plastic bottles and contains a
raft of 'hidden accents', including an 'inspirational statement' (lord, how I love marketing
speak) for the players stitched inside the green cuffs reading 'Nascido Para Jogar Futebol' (Born
To Play Football) in 'Pichacao' a type of scribbly Brazilian graffiti.

The stuff of nightmares...
Quite why anyone should want to make a latex prosthetic version of both Beavis and his

Finally getting himself out of the courtroom and into familiar environs of a football stadium,
Harry "I'm not a wheeler-dealer" Redknapp no doubt enjoyed seeing his charges stroll to a 3-1
victory against Wigan.
But just what was the Tottenham boss saying under his breath after noticing that 'the filth'
were in his manor, keeping an eye on him?

Those canny devils over at Umbro have just launched their 'Icons Reissued' collection, which
sees them reproducing a small gaggle of premium stitch-for-stitch replicas of some of the brand's
most classic designs from yesteryear.
You'll be glad to know that Pies have been able to nab a few photos of the new range from the
folk over at Umbro, which contains but four vintage items starting with Sir Alf Ramsey's iconic
England 1966 World Cup Anthem Jacket.

The Sky Sports News 'Babelcopter' takes to the skies once again!
What with it being Transfer Deadline Day and all, we diligent folks at Pies are going to
endeavour to keep you abreast of all the confirmed moves, rubber-stamped loans and the most goddamn
ludicrous rumours that crop up until the window shuts tonight or at least until we can't be arsed
any more.

An absolute cracker to start the day...
Puyol and Pique are the hairy pair that play at the back for Barca and, as

Pies' undoubted highlight of the weekend, Craig Bellamy and his rubber band (I think I saw them
play at a wedding once) going through a bit of choice choreography on the touchline at Anfield on
Saturday...
The sad fact is, some sports scientist somewhere has spent good money running test after test to
show that warming-up with a laggy band around the ankles can increase muscle efficiency by 0.

Massive thanks to Pies' fan Nick Sincere for bringing this photo to our attention Jose Mourinho

This woman's name is Julieth Arias. She is the No. 1 choice goalkeeper for the Costa Rican
womens national side. When Costa Rica need a female goalkeeper, she is the woman they turn
to first. She is, by means of extrapolation, the best female goalkeeper in Costa Rica.
The least convincing on-field injury you're ever likely to see Good new for Newcastle fans. Demba

While we're on the subject of Gary Neville, do the England rugby bods really want a man who had
to be forcibly removed from a town hall after throwing a glitter-bomb at Republican US presidential
candidate Rick Santorum during a flesh-presser in Florida the other day to be the man to lecture
their troops on national pride and sporting morals?

Hands up. We've been a bit lapse with our coverage of the African Nations so far. That's going
to change as soon as the group stages are over but, for now, you'll have to make do with dribs and
drabs including this startling piece of cheatery spotted during co-host nation Equatorial Guinea's
dramatic late win to send much-fancied Senegal tumbling out of the tournament yesterday.

While his club are urging him to, there is still a fair old wodge of uncertainty as to whether
Anton Ferdinand will shake John Terry's hand before QPR's FA Cup tie against Chelsea at Loftus Road
on Saturday.
As you will be all-too-well aware by now, Terry is due to attend a hearing at West London
magistrates court four days after the match on charges of racially abusing Ferdinand after
referring to the QPR centre-half as a 'farting black klutz' or something similar when the two sides
met in the Premier League back on October 23rd of last year.

As your probably aware, Pies suffered a pretty large hack attack yesterday, knocking us off air
for almost the entire day hence the reason we're slightly late with this one, but it's a goody so
we hope you'll forgive the tardyness.
What we have here is Lionel Messi scoring the third goal of an obligatory,
barely-worth-mentioning hat-trick against Malaga on Sunday eve instantly made great by Gol TV
co-commentator Ray Hudson (a long-time Pies hero) reaching a point of euphoric climax in the
process.

I know this is in incredibly poor taste, but a) it's 'Off-Shore Harry' and, b) it made my

Thanks to Pies fan Neil for the nudge.
La Selección Mexicana femenil consiguió su pase a Semifinales del Preolímpico que se juega en
Vancouver, Canadá, tras golear a República Dominicana 7-0.
Con un Hat-Trick de Anisa Guajardo, el Tri sumó su segunda victoria en el Grupo B donde le resta
un encuentro frente a Estados Unidos que definiría quién es el equipo que pasa en primer lugar.
La Selección Femenil Preolímpica puede soñar con más argumentos la obtención del boleto a
Londres 2012 gracias a la aplastante victoria que obtuvo en su debut del torneo clasificatorio para
los Juegos británicos.
Con un gran aporte de Maribel Domínguez, el Tri vapuleó 5-0 a Guatemala, y se quedó corto dado
el dominio que tuvo prácticamente de inicio a fin.
A Valencia supporter found himself missing some of his side's match against Levante last night
after being escorted out of the stadium by police. His crime? Bouncing the ball off the head of
Levante goalkeeper Gustavo Munua. The fan 'returned' the ball to Munua when he came to retrieve it
from fans behind his goal.

The Welsh FA have just confirmed that Chris Coleman will be the new manager of the Welsh
national side, following the tragic death of former incumbent Gary Speed in November of last
year.
Chief executive Jonathan Ford announced the decision a short while ago, admitted it had

Short and sweet. Our nation's prematurely balding monarch-in-waiting Prince William an Aston

Those of you who watched Match of the Day last night will be well aware that, while introducing
West Brom vs Norwich, something 'went wrong' with Gary Lineker's autocue that caused him to freeze

Not one that I'd be willing to share with Morison in person. He may look a bit like Percival
Proudfoot Plugsley thanks to his 'ears on stalks' arrangement, but he also looks like the kind of

Arsenal's gifted young goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has made the latest in a long line of
footballing Twitter boo-boos. Indeed, it's not even his first offence.

Polish international Tweeted: "I don't wanna be rude mate but you look like a rapist on that

You'll know Kolarov as the Serbian chap who mainly specialises in blasting 30-yard exocets
