Did you spend the last 48 hours in your homemade duvet cave, eating nachos and taking in as much sport as possible between well deserved naps? We did.
In fact, we *may* have kept our duvets on for the trip to work. If you saw us on the tube, we can only apologise.
Dangerously cold weather and unplayable pitch conditions wreaked havoc on Ligue 1 action this weekend after parts of France were struck with blistering, near-freezing temperatures (-13 degrees Celsius/8 degrees Farenheit). Three matches had to be abandoned altogether and players returning from the African Cup of Nations were advised to sit out or else risk freezing their fatigued arses off.
Literally.
While everyone in England was caught up in the now traditional FA Cup bicker-fest, the rest of the European Leagues had a peculiar stillness about them this weekend.
The day isn’t close to being done but we’re so giddy about today’s preparedness that we’re willing to share our Good Week/Bad Week update with you all early.
You shouldn’t feel special.
Nature abhors a vacuum, Kickettes. It isn’t something we made up as a convenient opening remark for a transfer update post, it’s the truth.
Don’t believe us? Last week, we told you that Ludovic Obraniak had left Lille for Bordeaux, leaving a massive gap in their pretty player quotient. We were scared initially, but Mother Nature has since stepped in and filled Lille’s Ludo shaped hole with Nolan Roux (above) from Brest. He’ll be there for four years, so we haven’t got to worry for a bit.
Phew!
If you’re going to post images of yourself on popular social networking sites, it’s best you don’t accompany each picture with the caption ‘Look Of The Day‘. This just encourages people with nothing better to do to mock you, even if they think you’re quite cool and may even fancy you a bit.
Sorry, Bafe, but it’s best you learn this about us now so you’re not disappointed when, after we begin dating, we steal all your clothes and burn them.
We’ve been kinda freaking out over here ever since this photo of Montpellier’s resident hottie surfaced.
Is he single? Taken? A mama’s boy?
Kickettes?!
