Chelsea FC: Winners Take All

John Terry, John Terry’s short tent & Frank Lampard celebrate after Chelsea beat Portsmouth 1-0 at Wembley to lift the FA Cup and complete a historic league/cup double.

This sight (above) is becoming a little familiar, is it not? Barely a week after we provided you with innumerable happy snaps of Chelsea bubbas, ballers and exotic methods of drunken embarrassment prevention we’re obliged to go there again.

To be fair, Portsmouth winning the FA Cup after the season they have had would have been a fairy tale of epic proportions, but we feel their financial difficulties would have limited the after match celebrations to a couple of bottles of cheap white wine and a kebab.

Things were a little more ‘expensive’ for the Chelsea boys (and girls). After a celebratory open-topped bus celebration involving ill advised singing the team headed to poshola Knightsbridge restaurant Frankies and then to Whiskey Mist. It would appear that a good time was had by all.

Chelsea, we salute you. Again.  Got anything in mind for next season?

Suit Styles: Everton FC End of Season Awards

Now that the EPL season has drawn to a close, footballers can hang up their club kits in favour of awards season, evening attire. Having too many choices at our disposal renders our decision-making abilities useless. We’d argue the same for the players of Everton FC.

Attending their club’s annual end of season awards dinner at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, a few of the first-teamers demonstrated the variety of dress one may encounter at a “black tie optional” event.

In other words, this type of dress code has no limits or shame.

Simply Chic Suits
When in doubt, go the suit-and-tie route, as both Tim Cahill and Victor Anichebe illustrated.

Not only is Cahill supremely talented and good-looking, but he also dresses better than 90% of his competitors off the pitch. And, somehow, Anichebe makes a slightly stiff Windsor collar seem classically cool (as did John Heitinga). Without question, both players were the evening’s style stars.

Bubbas & ‘Ballers: Pepe and Alma ‘Pebbles’ Reina

Coming around for their victory lap, our fallopian tubes got choked up this morning at the sight of this adorable daddy-and-me-and-my-ponytail pipc of the Liverpool goalkeeper. Everything obvious aside, we’re enamored with the fact that Pepe’s bald, shiny noggin’ is being used as a source of shoulder-riding stability.

Nicklas Bendtner: Pretty ‘Fly’ For a White Guy

While Nicklas Bendtner and his baroness/WAG, Caroline Fleming, have been making more of a public showing lately, what’s most compelling about this loved-up pair is Bendtner’s complete lack of zipper awareness.

Looking quite glam at the Danish Fashion Awards last night, Nicky B. walked the entire dark carpet with his fly down.  Forgetting to zip your trousers brings up 2.5 interesting questions:

- If you spotted someone of Nicky’s ilk, would you politely tell them to keep their goods securely fastened?

- Or what if your privates were the centre of the public transport’s attention? Would you re-adjust in plain sight or sweat out your nerves on the inside?

While our perverse minds would like to envision the intricate type of sexy times these two were managing in the back seat of their hired car, we don’t think Caroline’s fluffy swan tail would be very conducive to that mischievous behaviour. Do you?

Lazy Links & Randoms

So the midweek slump is a day late, but has now arrived and is currently residing in the Kickette stationary drawer. We’re tired and emotional, people. So sit back, relax and navigate these fun stories by people who aren’t lazy asses. Today, they do the work. So we don’t have to.

- First up, since we’ve not yet hit our limit on cute footballer kids, here’s Blackburn’s Paul Robinson with Lucy and Jack, and team-mate Christopher Samba with his wee son. Extra points to baby for not being scared of the mascot. Those things freak us out more than clowns. *shudder*

- Now onto a message to the England NT. Pay attention, please. There’s a major tourney coming up and your record isn’t great in this area. But at least you won’t go hungry.

- Okay, enough with the sarcasm. We are SOOOO excited.

- Not enough pretty for you yet? Agreed. Check out the German NT team. Nummy!

- Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Modric got married. Our in house translator has advised us that the couple arrived dressed down and changed at the registry office and had chocolate cake for dessert. More piccies here although sadly, none of the cake. But  what better start could a couple hope for? Congrats, kids!

- We don’t even care if this story from the Sun isn’t true. It’s bloomin EPIC. If you’re considering not bothering to click, it involves Cristiano Ronaldo’s baby makin parts. M’kay?

- Our fave fashion females, The Fug Girls, have assessed the tragic breakdown of Cheryl Cole’s concert costumes.

- In case you’ve forgotten, maybe due to burnout or excessive inhalation of nail varnish, Dimi Berbatov IS The Continental.

- In what we imagine to be totally pointless attempt to escape speculation re: their relationship and get their tanning in early this year (due to the World Cup), Steven and Alex Gerrard have gone on holiday.

- Our second favourite pretty poppet Carlos Tevez (second only to Jimmy Bullard in the hawt stakes) picked up two honours at the Manchester City Awards. Congrats, CT!

- Need a reminder why you love the EPL? Look no further.

- Or Bojan? Mmmmm, puppy.
