Frederick

Sarko! Sacrebleu!

Having watched the back end of Capello's press conference, I've realised one thing: the guy has an incredible looking face. I don't mean he's handsome, I mean he's striking... and that's not just me being polite whilst calling him ugly. What a departure from the days where Englishmen would have to blush at the very mention of Steve McClaren's hair. Now, a manager we can be proud of, if not least for his striking looks.

The Vogue editorial is tremendous. Early Christmas present!

More, more, more

Natasha's shoe! Even now I never see it coming! The inclusion of that lame, lame Jet song at the end aside, this show was the goods.

The most curious case is that of Andy 'where did my career go?' van der Meyde, who along with his Ferrari and a Mini Cooper, had his dog stolen. In an endearing public display of emotion, he even did an appeal for the return of Mac on Sky Sports News. Maybe if David Moyes kidnapped Mac every week, he'd get a performance out of the guy. Anyway, the much loved pooch has since been reunited with the hard drinking right-sided midfielder! What a barking mad story. Anyway... I love how there's already an article on the MSN UK website titled 'What if Capello fails with England?' Got to love our 'can do' spirit.

All very true. Did you know that Stevie lives 500 yards from a police station? Doesn't matter much, burglars still got him! Surely its only a matter of time before Momo Sissoko's fine collection of Persian rugs are targeted.

This year's show seemed like a weird, ultra expensive Hen Night. One with, er, Henry Simmons and Dean Cain in attendance.

Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Andi Muise, Candice Swanepoel, Caroline Winberg, Marija Vujovic, Julia Stegner, Jessica Stam, Eugenia Volodina, Inguna Butane, Behati Prinsloo, Lindsay Ellingson, Elise Crombez, Michaela Kocianova, Flavia Oliviera, Oluchi Onweabega, Jessica White, Isabeli Fontana, Marisa Miller, Hana Sokoupova, Noemie Lenoir, Angela Lindvall, Erin Wasson, Morgane Dubled. And the competition winner, of course.

I couldn't believe it when the ginger, American, portly Glazers took over. Manchester United no longer owned by the common man? I was so outraged I almost stopped supporting them, I really did. Then I remembered they were going to play a pre-season friendly against my hometown team in the Malaysian suburbs, which would mean finally seeing John O'Shea in the flesh. So I changed my mind.

Yeah, its been a rough few years for United. Those that keep the faith have my upmost respect. Stay strong, my friends.

Does the old Arsenal World of Sport store still exist?

1-3 against Portsmouth. <_< But BVB won 6-1!

Thank you!

Right, well yes, I agree then. Did anyone see that hilarious Anelka miss? Le Sulk became Le Suck. Haha, see what I did there? I've still got it.

Rolling the eyes at Villa-Arsenal implies that they treated us like they do most 'regular' teams. In the first half, they did. In the second half, they couldn't get the ball. We may not be big four but we aint just another cake walk. If Big John's header hadn't hit the cross bar, who knows what could have happened.

I really like it. But can I have the 'k' in Frederick? Sorry to be pedantic.

Can someone please make me a signature using the picture below? Same text as the current one.

Even Marlon scored! If Laursen can stay fit then I can see him becoming a Villa legend. We need to give him and Mellberg new contracts now. Paul Jewell is a nut. He refuses to take an "unbelievable" offer to go back to Wigan because he believes he took them as far as they could go. So what does he do instead? Becomes Derby manager, obviously. :trout:

For the first time in seven years, four consecutive wins!

New Russian Cosmo pic - like, whoa. HQ needed.

Don't we technically still own Australia? I suggest you do as I say, or like, the empire's gonna strike back. My optimistic "we're through so Martin will be staying!" hooray parade was based on many assumptions, namely that at least a few of the England players would play like they cared and therefore wouldn't lose but Jesus, they still looked like they were playing out time when they were two zip down. The two goals they did score almost looked like accidents and amazingly, they handed Croatia the ball for the final twenty minutes, encouraging them to go forward. To take Martin from Villa would be a severe kick to the go-nads. Would that mean McClaren would want the Villa job? There are so many terrible things to consider! Do me a favour Mourinho, bring your brand of humourless football to the rotting corpse of the England team and allow Villa to carry on up the charts.

Thank you!

I'm up for adoption. From being English. Any takers? I'm sweet, kind and can do washing up like a housewife from the fifties. I don't know what's worse: Carson's error, the performance of the England team or the fact that I spent much of the match texting score updates to a Croatian friend of mine. Oh and the winning goal was scored by a BVB player...?!?
