Good Week/Bad Week: Winning and Recognizing
Fernando Torres practices his Lamaze breathing/birthing technique in support of preggers g/f Olalla; expresses his frustration at still being left off the F5 list; and is furious that he missed a goal-scoring opportunity. Also, his thighs say good afternoon. Image via ZUMAPRESS/KEYSTONE Press
GOOD WEEK
Fighting Talk
Jose Mourniho says the idea that Manchester United are “untouchable” is outrageous. Oh, we love us some back chat before a doozy of an upcoming CL game. David Beckham is also up in the mix, stating his support for Man Utd and offering up a few tips to Fergie on strategy.
Recognition
It’s award season, and we’re loving it. First, the Football Oscars hand out their controversial, yet so entertaining “best actor” nods, and now some of our fav readers start the Hottie World Cup competition? It’s going to take a whole ‘lotta Iker to make this day better. (Also, we really need to post our results for the Elite XI, no?)
Creative Monikers The Fiery Elbow? The Vacuum Cleaner? The Angel with Bent Legs? It’s a good time for those looking to be inspired (or completely put off) by footballer nicknames.
Celebrating
Birthday greetings go out to Adriano (Feb 17th), Gianluca Zambrotta (Feb 19), Artur Boruc (Feb 20), Brett Emmo Emerton (Feb 22), and Taylor Twellman (Feb 29).
Baking
Cute boys in kitchens = a win win situation.
BAD WEEK
Tattoos
The search for the meaning of Nereida Gallardo’s Chinese tattoo will no longer occupy our hearts and minds. It translates as”Ass Guard”. (Via ONTD Football)
Carbon Footprints
Victoria Beckham jets 25,000 miles in six weeks. But when you’re flying first class, doesn’t the miles-to-suffering ratio become greatly reduced? It’s more like 40 miles, really. No biggie.
Illness
Sadly, Deco’s one-year-old son, David Luiz is said to be battling a life-threatening illness that messes with his immune system. Poor little guy.
thanx Kickette! u always manage to get me in a good mood, xoxo
Nice Fourth!! Poor kid (Deco's son), hope the situation improves.
WOW Nando. Im angry that we have let man u go another two points ahead come on liverpool =(
Kickette, you really need to work on your spelling of Jose Mourinho's name.
That's so sad, poor Deco and his son… But I loved Evra in the kitchen
@ Fourth: oh bollocks. We have some sort of Jose block lately
Thanks for the catch.
@ Fourth: oh bollocks. We have some sort of Jose block lately
Thanks for the catch.
Yes, we need the results of the Elite XI.
My final argument for Keano as manager. (Courtesy of the lovely Katie of the Roy thread):
That is all.
Nando thighs! Thank you Kickette! (And you know you want to put him in the F5) Hope Deco's son gets fixed soon
Tres Bien: Those posters are amazing! I must really know where you got that pic of Paolo De Ceglie though. I love him so much and that pic is ace!
Nice Fourth!! Poor kid (Deco's son), hope the situation improves.
It is not letting me comment properly, but here it goes.
Thanks for the Hottie World Cup shout out! We worked so hard on it and we are really impressed by the turnout so far. We need as many votes as possible to make it the most accurate of course <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" />
wow. i was in the middle of soemthign but i completely have no idea wat it was after seeing that pic… aha hes begging for f5
It was iker in the end cos- well canna’s married with kids which taints his hotness slightly for me.
Canna, do it! He only has 80 votes so far and he is far to hot to be losing by such a margin
I have to say stephanie loves bojan that pitching Iker against Cannavaro is just cruel, it’s killing me.How can i choose. It’s impossible, like choosing between chocolate and ice cream.
Nando ,thanks for starting my week of well!
Uuhmmmmmm frustrated Nando… Hooot… *is hypnotized by the hotness of this photo*
Yummmmm Nandoooo !
Hey David, darling… how can I put this nicely…STFU! Sweetie, you couldn't make it through 90 the other week, Milan don't really want you, and now, neither do the Galaxy. So, really, just shut the trap and look pretty. Yeah, I've known about Deco's son's illness for awhile. It was another reason they split. So not to end this with sadness or my pure snark, here's why people should vote for both Italia squads… <img src="http://i350.photobucket.com/albums/q428/Tres-Bien/Randoms/SquadraAFinal.jpg" width="350"> <img src="http://i350.photobucket.com/albums/q428/Tres-Bien/Randoms/SquadraBFinal.jpg" width="350">
On Mourinho, I will never look at him without laughing ever again since I read the Frank Lampard quote, so there is absolutely no way I can take that seriously.On the Elite XI, yes!! I wanna see sooo bad. Although I'm nearly 99% Michael Ballack didn't make it… still a good laugh.Psht, Quaresma = Harry Potter. Lol.Happy Birthday Adriano, Zambrotta, Boruc, Emerton, and Twellman!No comment on the baking.On Nereida's Chinese tattoo… good God, lets hope she has more characters hidden there somewhere. Ass guard? Really?On VBecks, wow.On Deco's son, aw
Nando is so hot…yum yum ^_^

Mmmmm Nando… Still a bit bummed about the match though. *sigh* but Happy Belated Birthday Zambro! I can’t believe I forgot.
get well soon david luiz and hello nando’s thighs. I am impressed at how seriously he’s taking his campaign to get on the finest 5. he’s pulling out all the stops.
I already said this once before today. Thanks Becks for stating the obvious.
Hope Deco’s boy gets better soon
And lovely thighs Nando. Not a base layer in sight.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Nando thigh/part-bum. Thank you Kickette! Still getting used to his daddy status.
OMG Kickette, where are the results for the Elite XI???
