Puyol/Pique TTOToday’s Thursday Thigh off is brought to you by the sexy chicas at ONTD Football. Please pay them a visit; embrace the crazy, it’s for the best.

We still can’t get the Champions League theme song out of our heads.

Please send help.

We had a good final, and yourselves? We quivered on the edges of our seats in cross-legged anticipation and excitement. Not even the sight of Prince Will’s balding skull could slow us down.

Barcelona, it seems, should be the capital city of Earth. Beautiful league trophy, beautiful European trophy, beautiful football, beautiful architecture, beautiful people, beautiful food, beautiful beaches, beautiful Vicky & Cristina… and as word on the street would have it, some decent quads.

We’re still floating about in a sparkling red ocean of sangría over the Catalan victory. A toast, perhaps? To thighs. And delicious defenders. Come on a flex and tone journey with us.

This week’s Thursday Thigh Off sees Robin Van Persie take on Theo Walcott.  Arsenal may have a squad full of tweenies, but the ones that do reach maturity certainly know how to give good thigh.

Both of these Gunners know how to score great goals, and also, much less impressively, how to consistently wear base layers. But let’s not hold that against them.

Welcome to another Thursday Thigh Off.

On a day that isn’t Thursday.

Perhaps the time may have come for us to take on a thigh-specific expert willing to work tirelessly into the night uploading photos of quadriceps to our server without a single cocktail break. But that’s probably illegal under the employment act.

Anyhoo, let’s enjoy our pre-weekend West Ham competition between Matthew Upson and Lucas Neill.

We’re late. We’re sorry. We’ll keep this short and sweet and let the thighs do the talking, yes?

Get your passports ready, we’re off to Roma! READ MORE

We know there are other players at Liverpool FC. We know they have worthy thighs, many of which we’ve admired in the past. But we couldn’t help ourselves. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are just too thigh-gifted not to put up in competition against each other.  We feel no shame in making this call.

Let’s get to judging.

Feeling judgmental? We sure hope so.

This week, the Thursday Thigh Off (brought to you on a Friday. Ahem.) is heading to Spain, where we’ll be investigating the talents of two Real Madrid staple items from our lust files: Sergio Ramos and Fabio Cannavaro.

Two class defenders. One is a well-recognized legend, the other, a legend in his own mind. And ours too. 

Let’s get stuck in, shall we?
