As you know, we complain about injuries, even though a lot of other clubs (Liverpool, Chelsea)
have plenty of injury problems of their own. But we now have fully eleven players injured, and
crying doesn't help, so why not have a little fun with it?
We've got two clips from behind-the-scenes at the now infamous Arsenal dressed as furry animals
shoot for their charity campaign with the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Above, enjoy Theo Walcott as a lion getting a kiss from a little boy who doesn't remotely seem
concerned about the giant predator head in his vicinity.

Steven Gerrard does some shopping with a mate in Manchester city centre. He's looking at the
giant, "Call us! xox" billboard we had put up for the occasion. Tottenham's Carlo Cudicini has two fractured wrists and suspected broken pelvis after a motorcycle
crash in North London.
Admit it: Francesco Totti with a mullet is still 99% hotter than any other man walking the
streets today. We should know, we've watched this clip 7,000 times already today.

So much for boho chic. Some of our most beloved boys have taken the dress-down to its extreme:
they are now solely existing within the realm of what is being commonly (and offensively?) referred
to in fashion circles as Hobo-Chic.
Case in point: the lovely Owen Hargreaves looks like he's going through some kind of major life
crisis with a side of empty shaving can-itis; The always gorgeous Niko Kranjcar is one whisker away
from us speed-dialing a team of stylists armed with tuxedos and hair gel.

Each week, for the past 32 weeks, Alex Gerrard has tapped the inner depths of her shopping soul
for Now Magazine to provide style and beauty advice to wagabees, randoms and beauty
peasants alike.
Although we approved of her hangover treatment recommendations, she never did properly teach
us how to perfect her trademark black raccoon eye make-up look.

Helen Svedin (Figo's wifey) looks gorgeous; shills jewelery for at Chamilla's new collection
at the Santo Mauro Hotel in Madrid. Becks trims his beard, takes off his shirt. Son Cruz continues his reign of family superstar. Want a kiss from Gerard Pique? Just ask for it (on a cardboard sign) and you shall receive.

On the heels of third-place Manchester United's loss to Chelsea yesterday, Darren Fletcher made
the claim that he had only been called for a foul on Ashley Cole because of comments Arsene Wenger
had made in the media two months ago (comments which did not even mention Darren Fletcher's name).
We here at the Arsenal Offside found these comments curious, and it seemed like a bizarre and
misguided attempt to deflect attention from third-place Manchester United's shortcomings in the
match and to try to drag Arsenal into the discussion.
The Offside's Main Page decided to compile a list of the "100 Best Players of the Decade." I
thought it might be of some interest to you, especially since Arsenal is out of action for a couple
of weeks. It was voted on by all of the Offside's bloggers, as well as readers. I will say that I
thought the criteria was a little vague it was simply to name the 20 best players who played in the
decade.
Theo Walcott was out for dinner at Langans in Piccadilly last night he looks well-fed and
happy.
Interestingly, he doesn't look £140k poorer than the last time we saw him, which is quite a
feat. (Yes, we're still going on about it.) Singer Katy Perry goes for West Ham bootyliciousness.

Manchester City's Nigel de Jong: was he always this damn fine? He's got extra sugar in his
coffee, that's for sure. Mikel Arteta has a knee infection. That doesn't sound good. Another celebrity A-lister chooses a Victoria Beckham dress. This time it's Drew Barrymore. Shop Coleen Rooney's makeup collection.

As we round down our 'Baller Baby Day coverage, we'd like to take a moment to highlight some
items you may want to add to your shopping list. We're assuming, of course, that you have several
WAG baby showers marked in your diary for attendance?
For example, Nicola McLean, wife of Peterborough Utd player Tom Williams, recently announced
that she's four months pregnant with their second child, and Raul's wife Mamen Sanz (above) is
having their fifth child and their first girl.

'Baller Baby Day on Kickette.

financially) superior kids and lots of baby announcements.
