Kickette Catch-Up: Weekend Cheat Sheet
Because there’s never enough time during the measly two day break to watch every game, stay on top of all the news and remain focused on Sergio’s numerous failed attempts at a hairstyle.
Here are a few bits and pieces you may have missed:
Saturday
- Philippe Senderos and his forehead wrinkles earned a temporary trip to the north, with Everton signing him on-loan from Arsenal.
- The hosts of Italian Show “Radio Deejay” accidentally confirmed what we already told you months ago: Ilary Blasi is pregnant with her third child. Totti celebrated his pregnant wife’s on-air panty-flashing in thumb-sucking style.
- USMNT member Jonathan Bornstein decided to auction off his signed kicks to support the American Red Cross aid for Haiti. Boots for charity bucks seems to be a growing trend, with David Beckham’s signed pair also up for grabs to benefit Oxfam International.
- RM’s Málaga’s Duda revealed that he, Ronaldo and Pepe are mates off the pitch. The trio of video game geeks “find enemies and fight against them” while playing “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ online.
- Deportivo La Coruna player Luis Filipe had a nightmare this weekend after fracturing his right ankle playing against Athletic Bilbao. The Brazilian defender has been looking fabu on the pitch of late – and now his World Cup ticket is looking unlikely. Hang in there, Luis.
Sunday
- Cheryl Cole denied plumping up her pout. If no work was done, why hide the pretty gloss? Maybe it’s because you’re scoffing at the notion of caving to the hubby’s baby demands?
- Ruud Van Nistelrooy passed the flood pants and belly shirts torch to his Spanish compatriots as he headed for Bundesliga side Hamburg.
- Robinho failed to choose his words wisely after announcing he would leave Manchester City because “Money is not everything.” Erm… This doesn’t seem to align with the affinity for Lamborghinis and diamonds, though.
That’s terrible about Luis Felipe
I wish him a speedy recovery!
A bit unrelated to this, but Darijo Srna and his girlfriend Mirela are pregnant too, with the baby due to arrive sometime in the summer. There’ll also be a wedding in the mean time, but we don’t know when.
Luka Modrić is about to become daddy as well, in April or May, so that’s plenty of happy arrivals in the NT
Imagining that combination of people playing Call of Duty is very hard. I can totally see it for Pepe and Duda, but CRon looks more like a Wii Fitness or quite possibly Barbie Dress-Up. Kidding.
Robinho, Robinho, Robinho…
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″? I love that game, it’s so cool to know that Ronaldo plays that too!
Duda plays for Málaga, doesn’t he?
anyways…Iker’s stare in that pic is weird to say the least.
OMG, Sergio’s hair in the main pic just made me throw up in my own mouth.
Lisa Carrick sported a quite large, quite sweet baby bump on Saturday at Old Trafford. FTC saw her.
Good luck, Ruud. The Independent had a great piece about him today.

Oh yay!! i’m so excited for the Carricks
Cheryl Cole definitely has a trout pout, Joker-esque mouth–the primary indicators of having artificially plumped lips. (See Meg Ryan …Nicole Kidman…Priscilla Presley and Melanie Griffith )
I wish Ruud all the best
great former united players are always in my heart
So this is why Cristiano’s been missing from the party scene (or I just haven’t Googled him efficiently enough). The man’s turned into a geek! Good for him, though. And I totally imagine him on the computer with just his Armani briefs and a pair of thick rimmed glassed.
The look on Iker’s face suggests that Sergio is emitting a slight funk…
Belly shirts? I require a visual!
