Good Week/Bad Week: Puppets, Players and Pranks
For more football comics, make sure to visit Studs Up!
Economic decoration:
Cubic zirconium enjoyed a boost in sales with the launch of Coleen Rooney’s £40-and-under jewellery line.
Pranks:
Cristiano Ronaldo may have written off his Ferrari, but his teammates at Manchester United have totally got his back. They surprised him with a toy pedal car, complete with CR7 vanity plates. Hee!
Zeros:
Kaka’s rumoured £100 million transfer to Manchester City continues to keep everyone on their toes, and the debate about football salaries on full tilt.
Champagne Toasts:
Lee Bowyer, currently on loan at Birmingham City, is expecting twin babies in April; and (in terribly tardy reportage) a further congratulations to Shaun Wright Phillips and Sian Owen, who have a new addition – baby boy Blue was born on October 25, (the same day as his dad), weighing 8lbs 8oz.
Puppets:
Fans of footy satire will rejoice at the news that Setanta Sports is bringing back Jose Mourniho for a one off special, called Special 1 TV. Not a terribly creative week for TV title writers, though.
BAD WEEK
Saline:
WAG Helena Fletcher took on an assault course during the BBC show, Total Wipeout. The result? She was terrified that she had burst her breast implants. Reality TV claims another victim.
Immigration policies:
Snoop Dogg is going all out to get his ban on entering the UK lifted. He’s called his mate David Beckham and asked him to write a few letters to parliament to get it sorted. Do the right thing, Becks!
Mortals:
And speaking of Becks, his appearance at the Armani shows in Milan have really ruined tuxedowear for other men. Hot dayum, he is looking good.
Rolling the Dice:
A well-known Premier League player lost £1 million at a casino, and tearfully begged everyone not to tell his mama about it. Might be too late for that, luv.
Knees:
Chelsea’s Joe Cole is out for the rest of the season after injuring his right knee. Aside from the affect on the Blues, is anyone thinking about whether this will ruin Joey’s pimp walk down the aisle for his summer wedding to Carly Zucker?
Yep great Kaka ending! It just wouldn't be right if he came to the PL under those kind of conditions.
I'll go with Michael Owen or John Terry on the betting rumour. Both known punters. David looks very very good.
We'll miss Joe in the WC qualifying campaign – get well soon! Love the Cris prank! Kaka deal won't happen. They are protesting in the streets of Milan at this very moment. We need IOSS back on! I miss Roy from 
That's all, really, because I don't know who Helena Fletcher is (wife of Darren???) and I don't care about Snoop Dogg, or ballers procreating.
SunderlandManchester, Dave from Newcastle, The Boy, and all the gang SO much.I love the prank, it's great of them to cheer him up about the car situ. More teams could use the unity of a few pranks these days. I'm not sure what I feel about Coleen's jewelry line… ambivalence mostly. It's not stuff I'd wear. Periodically I think she's trying too hard, but I'll hold off judgment for a while longer. Say NO Kaka! Just say NO!
I'm with you on that, Carly! And FINALLY… The Kaka saga comes to and end, with a happy ending. He's staying in Italia!
I love the United lads' sense of humour! I can totally picture CRon in a little tikes car with CR7 as the number plate!!
Thank god Kaka isnt coming to the league ! Congrats SWP and Bowyer LOL at the Coleen picture and the C-Ron Pranks
Shaun Wright Phillips named his baby boy, Blue? That’s team loyalty for you – matching your bubba’s name to your team’s kit. Congratulations to him and his missus.
I like Coleen so I just wish her much success with her latest endeavor.
About time some news wafted out of Setanta about IOSS and a possible return of Jose. Just hope Wazza is included. Love the Jose puppet but Roo makes it.
And yes, poor Joe Cole. I’m really upset over his injury as he’s one of my favourites. I just hope he can spend more time with his lovely bulldogs and less going over flower arrangements and odd wedding hairstyles with Carly.
lose that girl blog
I can not express the amount of joy and peace I feel that Kaka is STAYING AT MILANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxooxoxox times A BILLION
red and black heart forever!
Kaka is PRICELESS.
The C-ron prank is hilarious! And Becks just keeps geting hotter and hotter, how is it possible? I love Colleen, but the jewelry…not so much. Poor Joe C., and yes Kickette, the 1st thing I thought of upon learning of his injury was how it would affect his wedding! Let’s all pray Carly’s veil covers her hair.
BTW, for us in the US, today is our last day with Dubya as our president…WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!
the prank is genious! lol! united boys sure know how to have fun.
i wonder who's the gambler.. i'd say terry or wazza
*snort* twice today Fourth you've made me laugh out loud. The Helen Felcther I saw on the TV was not Darren's wife – oh NO NO NO. She was your typical Championship Wag, a model with blonde hair and implants who wanted to deny being a WAG – hee hee. For the rest – Cris's car – I posted that yesterday, it was funny. Kaka to City – dont care, but the money involved is so wrong in this economic climate. Congrats to all concerned on the bubbas – Ian Wright a Grandad !! Sorry about Joe Cole – I like him, but I cant wait to see Carly's hair on her wedding day!! David looks good, but why is everybody still obsessed with him ?
no one needs to be a Milan supported to be happy Kaka is staying with them. thank god for that. looking good Becks ;]
Wait so now someone has had sex with Sean Wright-Phillips three times? Dear god when will the madness end? How did that happen? Kaka money is silly… if you are paying that kind of money, at least get Messi. Ray Hudson pointed out that you could get several Barca players for that money I am going with Theo on the lost money at the casino and scared of mom still… otherwise, I would have gone with Michael Owen. That kid LOVES to gamble
On Coleen's jewelry line, I'm not that impressed with it and find the comic effing hilarious.On the prank… *falls over laughing*On Kaka money, thats mad. He's a great player, but… no.Congrats to the baby newsers.On Special 1 TV, I knew they couldn't keep Jose away
On the breast implants, *snort*On Snoop Dogg, thats way, way funny. Wow.On Becks, wow.On the baller losing a mil, I honestly have no sympathy. Thats his own fault.On Joe Cole's injury, thats v. v. depressing. Hopefully it will be better before his wedding.
Well done, Kaka! Money doesn't buy *everything*. Class act.lose that girl blog
Not everyone can afford expensive jewellery, so you go Coleen.
Shame about Joe. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Footballers salaries are obscenely high. These discussions about 100.000.000 for Kaka make me slightly ill considering people are losing their homes because they can’t afford their mortgage.
Kickette, I’m baffled: please spell Mourinho right, I’m begging you!
And no, a one-off just won’t do it. We want IOSS!
