Kickette Catch Up: Your Holiday Weekend Gossip Cheat Sheet

Stephen Ireland wouldn’t dare forget to bring his snakeskin pants to Ronaldinho’s next pyjama party…would he?
If you think this is good, just wait.
It gets better.

- He’s 52-years-old and hails from Italy, was unceremoniously sacked from Chelsea after winning the double and his personal life rivals a good daytime soap opera. But we still love us some Carlo Ancelotti, despite his new unidentified Jerry Hall look-alike-from-afar new gal pal that he was papped all around Venice with.
-Our vote is for Tottenham having a Christmas party, if that counts for anything (it probably doesn’t).
- Does this mean a move to Paris and Ligue 1 is back ‘on’ for the Beckhams?
We’ve watched many a young child tackle the button pressing bonanza that is FIFA 12, but we’ve never seen a controller combination cause this to happen.
Have you?
No?
Thought not. But while you’re reaping the benefits that pixellated players bring to your life, spare a thought for Fabs. He got carted off during Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Olympiakos last night, after picking up a knee injury in a collision with Thomas Vermaelen.
We think even he would agree that picking up Andy Carroll in the penalty area is preferable.
Sadly, it was anything but quiet on the news front for us this past weekend, but as always, we’re ready and willing to help you bounce back into work action.
Although if you require posts in addition to this one, know that we’ll only resume work upon receipt of our mandatory compensation (in this case that would be Thanksgiving leftovers from our U.S.-based readers).

They tried to keep it private, but Vedran Ćorluka clearly did not factor into our roving reporter’s persistence whilst on duty.
Yes, it’s true, the Spurs defender is now dating 27-year-old Croatian model Vedrana (nah, that won’t be confusing) Linardić.
What do we know about our newest club member? Well, she recently ended a relationship with NK Lokomotiva striker Nino Bule, she’s quite famous in her home country but aspires to have international recognition before retirement. Dating an EPL footballer will not harm her chances in this regard. Vedrana is also a trained teacher, implying that she is patient, relaxed and used to dealing with juvenile behaviour. This may be useful, since the Xmas party season will soon be on us.
Lastly, the reason she is with Vedran is that ‘he can talk for hours’ and ‘knows what he wants in life‘. Oi! No snarking at the back, Kickettes! He really loved Iva when he had that tattoo done.
Lucky he had it removed though, no?
