Product Shill: V is for…
images via Nike/HABs Offside
Here are a few stills from the new Nike campaign, featuring Cesc Fabregas, Joe Cole, Didier Drogba and Andrei Arshavin. The lads look great, and true to character: Cesc is his usual dorky self, Joe is sexy but one small step away from hooliganism, Didier looks like he’s mackin’ in a Thunderclap dance off, and Andrei?
Ah. Perhaps someone might want to let the possible Arsenal transfer know that he’s not actually throwing up the “Victory/what’s up homie” sign, he’s telling us all to piss off.
Or maybe he already knows that.
Also: his jeans are a little too tight for our liking. He probably already knows that too.

EDIT: Holy hell we forgot to upload The Ramos’s pic. We have no excuse. Other than that fact that it’s champagne Friday. Hic!

Oh… THE RAMOS. cute
Not sure how I feel about the tongue though. but still *squee*
Yikes – his jeans are way too tight. Doesn’t even look like he has ah hem anything in them. That’s how I look in my skinny legs….
genius! Joey looks HOT. Cesc and Arshavin just makes me laugh
and drogba…not my cup of tea.:P lose that girl – you cracked me up XD
Sergio looks adorible, that is really all I got

It was better without the Ramos. :S
Oooooooooooh Andreiiiiii
My God Joe looks amazing there. The pose, the face…perfection.
Joe Cole (L) . Love Him.
You left out The Ramos, Ms Kickette?? Oh he won’t like that, I can see the pout and flicking of the hair now.
Arshavin looks like a very skinny Ricky Hatton (British boxer) and that’s not a compliment.
Overall though I love this ad!!! Thumbs up to Nike.
You missed out Sergio, who has the best pic by far!!!! Joe is posing like one of the Gallagher bros in that pic.
AAAAA JOEY! you cute cute cute little man!
Cesc looks so cute and Andrei looks funny with his pants.
None of them are my favourites (though I have a bit of a soft spot for Joe), but you can’t argue with the thighs on the first three. And yes, what is going on below Arshavin’s waist? Nothing, by the looks of it. :S

Too cute.
Is it just me or does Andrei look like Ricky Hatton???
Joe looks smashing! Love it!
Andrei – CUTE! Cesc – Sexy
Enough said. Did – Taking it a LITTLE seriously. Sergio – Taking it to far! Joe – Yobo
cesc is the cutest and ramos is sexy
cesc: YOU'RE SOOOOOOOOO CEXY:D
and why is Ramos posing like a 12 year old girl? XD funniest photo no doubt lol
Cesc looks boyishly cute..Joe looks HAWT!!! Drog looks erm…And Andrei looks funny with that tight pants.
Drogba just looks silly and Arshavin looks 12 and ridiculously emo with those pants. Joe looks really cute though! And I'm just generally entertained by Cesc.
arshavin looks like a small boy! so cute. cesc looks sooo dorky and adorable!
Ramos looks stupid, but is too cute. Andrei's cute too! But what's up with the pants? Joe looks good, Didi is quite okay too. Cesc… Oh Cesc, you are such a dork and I love you.
Andrei looks adorable! hahhaa
Andrei looks adorable and so young…I sometimes have to remind myself that he's 27.
probably vastly outnumbered here, but i really like drogba's pic… joe cole looks cute…
arshavin is too adorable. i can't believe he's 27. joe cole!!!!!!! mami missez u bb.
Cesc….love it! He is always so happy
Drogba still looks like a whiney little grotbag. Arshavin……? I really don't know what he's doing!
Check out the Drogbacite, he's the only one there who takes himself seriously LOL! fo shizzle ma nizzle! Great campaign!
Sergio is hilarious. Cesc is awesome. Andrei looks like he has no clue what's going on, and it's cracking me up. Drogbacite is taking himself way too seriously, and Cole looks like he's dying to be Noel Gallagher. This campaign = total amazingness.
Cesc, Joe, and the Ramos all look amazing. Drogba seriously cracks me up. And Andrei's… wow. No comment there.
JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yum! Looks so BritPop – gorgeous!Andrei's pants *are* too tight but his bottom half looks, um….feminine. Not a bulge to be seen. Yikes!lose that girl blog
ohmy i love joe cole. obsession made worse but thankyou kickette. i think you should put him in the thigh off, have you seen his legs lately (before being temparerily crippled that is) and CESCY how is this cheeseyness managing to be sooo hot? I LOVE IT.
LOL at Cesc .. Joe looks hot Andrei needs some new trousers and dont get me started on Didier and TFO i agree it looks better without the Ramos who in tha picture just makes him self look…well rather FOOLISH !
Cesc and Arshavin no. Ramos really, really no.
Joe looks great pre injury and Drogba looks fine in this picture. (omg that can’t be me saying that)
Joe and Sergio working it! Love the jackets.
Nothing carly, nothing! Don’t be ashamed. This is classic ramos in all his glory. Love these ads though, I think they all look adorable…even Drogs and his strange attempt at ‘seducing’ with his eyes.
The more ridic the Ramos is the more I love him. I was 100% off him since his hideous haircut and yet another nose job, but this pic has made me love him again! I just love the small smirk, he totally knows he has his fingers the dodgy way round!
This is so cool! I actually love the The Ramos photo – what is the matter with me?
Yep, Arshavin’s jeans are too tight but so are Joe’s…
Didi looks great
Cesc looking beautiful as always – I think Ramos seriously needs a trip to the salon to sort his hair out – ever heard of shampoo!?..Arshavins keks are toooo tight!! Im glad you put that it was Arshavin cuz I actually had to look twice at the pic, as I thought it was Ricky Hatton for a second. :S
