your insider tips and info!
Many footballers find that expressing themselves creatively on the pitch simply isn’t enough.
And so, they turn to denim. Again and again.
Whilst we try to figure out just what exactly is going on with Jamie O’Hara’s jeans, perhaps you could weigh in on a) Danielle Lloyd’s hairband disguised as hair and b) whether you would go for black & white horizontals yourself?

Yesterday, we popped into our local coffee shop and were asked by the barista if we’d finished our Christmas shopping yet.
…
Should we pause for longer? Do you need more time to plot a violent attack on an innocent local coffee grinder?
Anyhoo, one thing is for certain: these pics of the ever-sexy David Villa (Valencia) at the UNICEF Christmas 2009 Campaign certainly do get us into the Crimbo mood, even if it is several thousand days away.
In fact, David’s good deeds are making us feel like doing one ourselves: we’re not even going to mention that hideous DSquared belt.
Whoops.
Sometimes it’s best not to find out the answers to the hard questions.
For example, we shouldn’t have asked where this photo of Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna came from. We should have stuck with our original vision: every Sunday the foursome get together, put on their happy-making costumes, eat Jaffa cakes, act out their favourite nursery rhymes and have pillow fights. They look very stern because someone just took away the novelty tea pot.
Instead we have learned they’re filming a video for the Great Ormond Street Children’s charity – and it will be shown during the Arsenal / Chelsea game at the end of the month. Good cause, but we liked our vision too. It made life feel safe, warm and fuzzy.
Side note: Cesc Fabregas is dressed as a bunny rabbit. This is one of the happiest days of our lives.
Update: apparently, Arshavin chose the shark suit. The other lads had to make good with what they were given.
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.)

Finally, please be sure to snag a cashmere gift from Harrods or Bergdorf in honour of our fearless leader’s birthday this wknd. Without her, gawking/drooling over man flesh at work would be unacceptable. Instead, she just makes it uncomfortable for your co-workers. Cheers! [Ed note - aww, thanks! FYI, cashmere makes an excellent giftwrap for sparkly things. Just sayin'.]
You know there’s only one thing to talk about in this photo, right? And it ain’t how gorgeous Mrs. Gerrard is looking – though she is looking completely foxy.
It’s the boots.
Do you love or do you hate? Our shins are getting sweaty just looking at them. We would, frankly, rather go barefoot. But we know many of you love the warm and cushies, so by all means, speak your truth.
Random: while the photographers were snapping away at Alex, some random in a car skidded on the road and nearly ran over a pap.
Update: Here’s the boots in all their glory from the ALC. Cheers L for the spot.
It’s shaping up to be one of those days, Kickettes. Hope you have something exciting planned for the weekend. You know, like printing this off and having it laminated so you can use it as a dining placemat.

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.
Wonderfully, that’s not all we were gifted today: we were also sent this amazing best-in-shorts, short-tent, air-pocket of glory. Enjoy.
Fridays, we want to marry you.
*We’re not gamers in any way shape or form, but maybe someone who is can clarify? Is it some sort of soft-porn, soft-focus footballer extravaganza of suggestively shot glory? Is the aim of the game to douse Fernando in water until he begs for a towel? Why haven’t we bought shares in this company yet?
It’s a footballer baby boom, Kickettes. They’re everywhere. Luckily, they’re genetically superior and smell like high interest savings accounts and strawberry yoghurt. Thus, we’re all happy.
Here’s Lisa Carrick arriving at Old Trafford over the weekend with her and hubby Michael’s daughter, Louise. We love everything about Lisa’s look except the choice of cuffs on the jeans. You?
