A quick Xmas party roundup:
1. Arsenal held theirs at Zuma, the yumfest resto in London. Sendy fans, enjoy his hotness and fetching neckwear. (Before you ask, we’ve yet to see any photos of Cesc and Carla.)
2. Tottenham’s fake-out party has left Harry Redknapp fuming.
3. Man United’s party was at Rosso, where the lads handled their booze like men and the women in attendance did not.
4. We incorrectly tweeted that City was having their party on Sunday – it was actually the Sunderland’s shindig held in Manchester’s Living Room , and it was apparently a very rowdy one. We hear that a few of the Man Utd crew headed over for a quick bevvy but then beat a hasty retreat to Club 235 for more liver burning.
5. We also hear that Everton held their party in Alderley Edge this weekend and some of the lads ended up at CandyPants afterwards. Best. Name. Ever. Can anyone confirm? We’re desperate to make some Cahill Candypants wallpaper.

Birthday boys: Happy 28th to Chelsea’s Ashley Cole and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema turns 22. Congrats!

We vote Graeme Souness for the daftest footy statement of the year, but there’s a long list of ‘em to choose from.

Stu Holden as an elf. Just go with it.

John Terry’s officially given the all-clear from Chelsea on his bizarro club tours, but his England captaincy is most def at threat.

The Beckham brood heads home for the holidays.

Coleen, Wayne and baby Kai do some Christmas shopping in Manchester City Centre. FYI, they gave two Louis Vuitton boxes of goodness to their car valeter as a present. That must be one damn fine vacuum and wipe-down service. Hee. That sounded rude.

One of the maddest weekends of footy this year? Perhaps. Definitely one of the most dramatic.
Arsenal / Hull City non-stop handbags. Fulham beating Man Utd 3-0. Mark Hughes getting the sack. Liverpool losing to Portsmouth 2-0. Frank Lampard’s three-times-a-charm penalty kick.
Plus a bunch of other fantabulous stuff.
You know, like Didier Drogba’s public change station. Tottenham’s Peter Crouch making a good case for his inclusion in the England squad whilst also looking like a banana peel. Birmingham City’s Cameron Jerome continuing to practice his stellar “bish, pls” face. And, this video of Kenwyne Jones celebrating his goal for Sunderland with a pole dance. (Sadly, he remained clothed.)
How was the weekend for you? Wacky? Wonderful? Pushy-Shovey? All of the aforementioned?
Thnx HG!

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, Kickettes. Mario Gomez really is channeling Ozzy Osbourne along with teammates Miroslav Klose and Philipp Lahm. The boys readily agreed to showcase their hard-earned video game skills in public to assist Germany’s “Room77” for a special music video entitled “Hope” this holiday season.
Although the lads were able to make beautiful music together this time around, Gomez admitted he’s tone deaf and Klose said he forgot everything his six years of piano lessons taught him.
It’s all good, guys. Don’t you know we love our ‘ballers to come packaged hot with limited brain power? Just stand there and make charity look pretty and all will be right in our world.
All proceeds of the single will benefit the SOS Children’s Village Ammersee.

The Barca boys were in Abu Dhabi last week, (winning the FIFA World Club Cup), and our EXI Keeper, Victor Valdes, opted to show just how versatile hotness can be. See: his sassy new DSquared suit.
Not many men can rock a navy sweater-vest and maroon tie combo, you know. See: the hombre behind him.
VV rarely speaks to the press or goes out in public (that we can ever catch, anyway) but it’s frustratingly rare nuggets like this that make stalking him all the more worthwhile. These GQ-in-the-photo-desert moments are always worth the wait.
Note: we’re totally lying. We hate having to wait. We want, nay, deserve, regular photo happy-making from Mr. Valdes.

Whilst Frank, Fabio and Florent form some kind of open-mouthed, consonant-loving supergroup, we’d like to take a minute out of your day to talk about the Champions League Draw for the knock out stage.
Quick recap on the match-ups:
Stuttgart v Barcelona
Olympiakos v Bordeaux
Inter v Chelsea
Bayern Munich v Fiorentina
CSKA Moscow v Sevilla
Lyon v Real Madrid
Porto v Arsenal
AC Milan v Manchester United
Of course the big talk is all around the Premier League deja vu for David Beckham (with Milan) heading back to Old Trafford and Jose Mourinho (bringing his Inter boys to Stamford Bridge), but we’re thinking the Bayern v Fiorentina match will also be a corker.
What are your thoughts on the next stage of the draw?
