With St. Andrews incapable of providing adequate provisions for half-time beverages and snacks,
I stayed in the stands during half-time. There was no way that people were going to get their beer

counter in time, there would be no way you'd make it back through the crowds with even half a beer
left, so I thought better of it, and have apparently missed something newsworthy.
A diehard Manchester United fan in Nigeria took the Champions League final loss a little too

Oh lord. It's all apparently getting a little bit much to bear in the Argentinian World Cup camp
(see below) and I can fully sympathise, as I'm on the verge of passing out through sheer excitement
myself.
Two hours, one minute and counting!
In the mean time, here's the best of today's World Cup-hued tish and fipsy.

cigars in teammates eyes and violently attacking teenagers on the street were over. But when he
went postal on the final day of the season, it was clear he had returned to his feral ways. The QPR

fit in a lift? Well, some bright sparks in the home of the bright spark, Texas, decided to try and
answer that question in an experiment of Newton-esque importance. For those of you here purely for

can fit in a lift.
Apologies to anyone who's actually proud to be Nigerian, but that country just
sounds like literally the worst place on earth. The latest saga that has come to the press'
attention is the kidnapping of Everton defender Joseph Yobo's brother, seized on Saturday from a
