Titi is in London this weekend for the unveiling of his Arsenal commemorative statue. We can only hope the sculptor wasn’t obliged to replicate his shoes n’gilet combo. We’d prefer not to have to look at that for the next 100 years. Image: PacificCoastNews.com.
In a week where the whole of Manchester was thrown out of Europe’s elite competition, we admirably restrained our ‘inner mean girl‘ while you lot let rip on Shakira’s new ‘do and Yoann Gourcuff reappeared on our radar, you may well ask what could possibly be left for us to report on?
Plenty, as you’ll soon see…

What happens in the club/pavement outside/back of the cab/someone else’s expensive hotel room, stays in those select places. That’s the rule at Kickette HQ and for the sake of maintaining appearances that bear no resemblance to our true selves, it will stay that way.
Until we’re subpoenaed, obviously.

- Possibly unscientifically-proven German search engine research found that Philipp Lahm’s wife, Claudia, was the most sought after woman on their ‘celebrity barometer’, based on the number of news stories she was featured in. Report runners-up were Anna-Maria Lagerblom (ex of Mesut Ozil) and Monika Podolski (wife of Lukas).

Scotland’s Sunday Herald made a bold joke of one government enforced gag order over the weekend when it splashed an easily identifiable picture profile of the footballer at the centre of the EPL’s latest injunction scandal. Editor Richard Walker explained his decision to showcase one particular Manchester United icon’s barely-censored face by claiming he wished to expose ‘the lunacy of the situation’ (as opposed to boosting newsstand sales of his Sunday paper, as naysayers are arguing).

Seattle’s Fredy Montero post-surgery Twitpic. Go Sounders indeed.
T’was a looong week last week, Kickettes, so forgive our ill-fated attempts at keeping a semi-professional/regular schedule. Fortunately, as we flooded our insides with in-flight alcohol, we found some superb shots of a CR JR being craddled by his papa.
Let us begin.

- Christian Chivu, 30-years-old, announced his retirement from Romanian international football; he blamed ‘age and surgery’ as reasons for his dwindling competitive streak.
- What kind of dirt does Cesc Fabregas have on Jack Wilshere?! Whatever the secret is, Wilshere promises it will be one for the ladies if he’s ever exposed. We think Cesc should open Jack’s can of worms; you?
