Don’t you smile at us like that, Mr. Walcott. We’re pissed off, mate.
A let-down bigger than discovering your savvy online purchase has netted you a brand-new “Lewis Vuitton” handbag?
These photos of Arsenal out on their Christmas party jaunt at the high-priced, high-pose-style restau/bar Hakkasan. They’re far too non-eventful for our liking.
First, it’s hardly a team celebration if there are only a handful of footy folk out on the town. We need more than this: Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy, Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen, Alex Song and Andrei Arshavin.
Second, why are these man-children driving? Shouldn’t excessive amounts of alcohol have been consumed? Was this the pre-party? A practice run perhaps?
Side note: Arshavin’s baby soft skin. Wow. That’s like 70 Microdermabrasian treatments away from our lifetime. Someone get him a placement with Elizabeth Arden.

There were some pretty intense matches this weekend – none of which we watched. (Don’t ask.) But instead of being Negative Nellies about the whole thing, we’re going to focus on ‘ballers in their birthday suits. It’s our go-to happy place.
Also handy for cheering us up: judging those that are naked. Our score card (including Mr. De Rossi) is below. Hope the weekend results were as good for you as they were for Ab-Rollers and white cotton.

Has a nice ring to it for a reality telly show, no?
If only.
But… if our favourite fashion-minded WAG and her bestie did have their own show, the latest episode would have included a fun 48 hour+ period in which the pair headed to lunch at Liverpool’s Neighbourhood Cafe (on the menu? Designer labels, natch), and then followed it up with an appearance at the Juice FM Style Awards at the Hilton.
No lie, we’d kill for these two to be miked up and broadcasted direct to our handsfree when in the closet discussing their outfits. Le sigh.
Sadly, Alex (wearing head-to-toe Balmain) didn’t win in her nominated category for Most Stylish Scouser at the awards. (That went to Cheryl Cole’s Girls Aloud band-mate, Nicola Roberts.) Her hubby Steven won for The Most Stylish Sporting Star and The Icon Award. Somehow we doubt it will mean much to him.
Also present at the Juice FM awards: Sheree Murphy, and Jude Cisse with a very sloshed (ex?) WAG/actress Emma Rigby.

John Terry.
You’re a man of sexy smiles and shorts of constant tenting.
The maker of adorable children, husband of also adorable wife, and brown sauce king of Dads.
One that lives a not-so-secret life with a long-time mistress.
It’s your birthday, sir! We know twenty-nine is a big one. You’re at the tipping point to your thirties. It can be a scary thought.
But: remember. You’re insanely rich. Aging is for the poor.
Happy birthday, JT! Hope it’s a good one.

If spectacles, silk jammies and shiny suits are your thing, then Sport & Style magazine has heeded to your Monday-pick-me-up demands, Kickettes.
Yes, Zinedine Zidane and his Madame Tussaud wax figurine are wearing far too many layers of clothes. In all of the photos, in fact.
(Hand that photographer his P45 already, S&S!)
Oh well, one silver lining to these shots: mirror pouts produce multiple Zizous.
More Zizous make the world a better, albeit more headbutty, place.
Mmm. Saying “headbutty” reminds us of saying “bacon butty” and those calorie-drenched, “ow, my heart hurts” beauties are just ace.
Anyhoo. We love these shots, but admit we’re not scrambling to replace the S&S Yoann Gourcuff tousle-me-up pics in our digital picture frames just yet. No, he and his Bruce Weber masterpieces have earned the right to ”ellipse motion” on our desks a little while longer.

Just look at that exquisite eye scowl.
The “don’t you dare smear your gloss on my cheek” bish-please push-away.
Clearly, Gigi Buffon’s second son doesn’t want what mum Elena Serendova is giving and he’s threatening to take that new set of Crayolas to the white sitting room walls in order to prove it.*
Kudos, kid, you’ve shot straight to the babybitcher A-list and are currently keeping Zaida Villa company at the top.
You’re got a bright future ahead of you.

It’s about a minute in. Frank Lampard finally goes public on the special relationship he has with CFC team mate John Terry.
“They don’t call him the tank for nothing…”
Indeed. We call a low-key late summer wedding.
