Because our inboxes are blazing with “friendly” reminder e-mails concerning all the footy birthdays we failed to mention, we’ve been peer pressured into doing it now.

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.
Good Week/Bad Week: Babies, Boobies & Brian Dowling
As bromances go, we can’t say we expected this. But ya know what? It might just be mad enough to work… Image: REUTERS/Eddie Keogh.
It’s past 5 o’clock somewhere, Kickettes.
Consider that an explanation for our poor spelling, lack of coherence and just about anything else that’s horribly wrong after the jump.

Don’t feel bad that you missed all the transfer news because you’re such important people.

Here’s a quickie round-up of the most notable moves. There weren’t many.
Wayne Bridge: Losing His Looks?
It happens to the best of us.
Well, not us personally, but it does occur nonetheless.
The gradual decline of attractiveness is a peculiar one, and we have to admit we’ve felt it happening to one of our former beloved ‘ballers, Wayne Bridge.
Movie Titles To Describe Your Sex Life: Too Much Information?
When we’re not watching the footie, we love nothing better than kicking back with an industrial sized bucket of popcorn and criticising the hell out of the latest offerings from Hollywood. We were therefore thrilled when a “Movie Titles To Describe Your Sex Life” thread broke out on Twitter yesterday. So thrilled, in fact, that we immediately hi-jacked it and put a few of our favourite ‘ballers on the spot.

In the wake of the news that the WPS has been suspended for the 2012 season, former majicJack and current USWNT striker Ella Masar has offered her take on the situation via her personal blog.
The current (at the time of writing) Wikipedia entry for Dan Borislow, the majicJack franchise owner, should give you a heads up as to where the blame is believed to lie in this little saga.
