Lazy Links and Randoms

Looking for a quick interview with David Beckham? Just write up your cheque for half a mill and Golden Balls will be ready to speak with you. Oh, and he made his AC Milan debut today. Doesn’t Cruz look thrilled?

Newcastle’s Shola Ameobi needs to hire a cleaner, stat.  He recently called the police after returning home, thinking he’d been burgled. Nope, his flat is just a serious mess.

What’s the real reason Cheryl Cole didn’t get a phone call from her friend Posh after Ashley cheated?

Okay, so we know it’s totally immature, but we couldn’t help but snarffle a bit at the “take a picture” gag Man City fans played on the lovely Ryan Giggs. We would have killed to have seen his reaction.

Gigi Buffon: he’s back, and he has good hair.

We’re finding the Transfer Clockwatch quite riveting considering how much we hate this part of the season. Roll on Jan 31!

    Giggs is a United legend, why would a City fan be thrilled to meet him?? I wouldn’t be so bothered.

  2. AJ says:

    LOL @ Carly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dave pops up on IOSS this week offering to do exactly that. :D

    Cheryl, you are just a clueless plonker. I’d bet money that the two conditions Vogue gave her in order to get the cover were, discuss her idiot husband and then slag off a few folks. Vic is going to be pissed. hehe. I bet Cheryl was counting on David not making it to 2010. He just might, though. Awkwaaarrd.

    Cruz looks adorable in that photo, and I think Victoria looks gorgeous. Reading about the stupid prank that that City supporter played on Ryan put a smile on my (still tear-stained) face [see: TFO's comment about Giggsy considering retirement this summer]. Seriously, that City fan must have been about 12 years old. Cheesetastic and juvenile, but the United lads say that Ryan’s got a great sense of humour, so he probably had a good laugh at the photo op joke. I would agree that it’s a bit rude to take the piss out of someone as revered as Giggsy, regardless of team affiliation, but if the City fans have to stoop so low… [raises eyebrow and smirks]. P.S. Vlada, your photo is ace. :D They don’t make men like Paul anymore, do they?! :(

  4. MrsXabiAlonso says:

    That photo is the cutest, Cruz is by far the most adorable kid ever. Maybe he’s sulking because Posh hasn’t let him dress up, give the boy his Batman suit.

    I worry that when I live alone, I will go through the same as Ameobi. I’m such a mess.

    I’m sorry, Ryan may be a Untied legend, but that doesn’t make the prank any less hilarious. If an Everton fan had done this to Ian Rush or Robbie Fowler, I’m sure you United ladies would see if differntly. It’s funny and I’d love to have seen it.

  5. The Fourth Official says:

    Considering that we ladies of the United thread are in a serious SERIOUS depression at the news that our beloved Giggsy may be hanging up his boots in May, I for one do not appreciate the City fan’s attempt at humour. Ryan is a truly classy man who deserves accolades from all true footy fans, regardless of affiliation.

    Nevertheless, I may attempt this the next time I run into SWP. :P

    Gosh, to get that close to living legend Giggsy and then turn it into a prank? What a loser! It’s not every day you meet such footie gods. I’d make the most of it.

    That said, it *is* funny…to have the nerve to do that *and* prove that you have a serious lack of brain cells to let such a stellar meeting go down the tubes.

    I meant you’re not your. I can’t type when I’m ranting wink

  10. Shelly says:

    Cheryl nobody cares any more. Please stop playing the pity card, your the idiot who decided to take him back.
    And Cruz Beckham just gets cuter by the day!

  11. Ernie says:

    Cheryl, having barbecues almost two years before doesn’t make Victoria your best mate. Posh never talked directly about her ordeal in Madrid, why would she share her worries with someone who’s not close and is prone to tell all in magazines?

  12. HiL says:

    city fans..who do you think you are? -_- The Fourth Official, i totally agree! we should try this on Stephan Ireland as well. :P

  13. Dani.Mrs José Manuel Reina (PLQ) says:

    Cruz is sooo cute i love him just not hit parents. LOL at the Giggs prank. its hilarious and what the hell is the obsession with Gigi Buffon i love my keepers but i just dont see the attraction !

  14. aristeia says:

    This is ridiculous for me to say, but Becks looks really good in that Milan kit. Hmmm.

    Re: Ameobi… that is mortifying. *face palm*

    HOMG MY LOVE FOR GIGI KNOWS NO BOUNDS. THANK THE LORD YOU’RE BACK.

  15. Vlada says:

    Cheryl you’re too late, Jen Aniston did the woe-is-me Vogue thing. Oh and 2 weeks in Germany doesn’t make you Posh’s BFF especially as you’ve shown that you blab to the press. She’s birth a new WAG war to entertain us till 2010, if only Posh will come out to play.

  16. Becca says:

    Transfer Windows Scare Me ! :|
    And it would have been nice for cheryl to get a call from posh but oh well ! haha
    Arww bless Cruz he looks soo sweet :D

  17. Baby Freya (Mrs Arbeloa) says:

    I love Posh in this pic, it’s a proper mumsy photo where for once she isn’t thinking ‘where is the paparazzi?’. And good on the City fans, ok, slightly harsh but they need to have a sense of humour at the moment bless em!

  18. Deanna says:

    Aww, Cruz is adorable!! And Posh looks fine too.

    The prank on Giggsy made me smile. Sure, it was juvenile, but at least it did not have any racist or homophobic references. That kind of humour is fine because I doubt that Giggsy was offended by it. He’s got a terrific sense of humour, he probably just laughed it off.

  19. carly says:

    Why does Ameobi get Dave from Newcastle to clean his flat? I’m sure he would do it.

  20. TammyV says:

    That Giggsy thing is adorible… It is a harmless prank.

    Cheryl seriously stop talking about your flipping marriage. NO ONE ELSE CARES.. you married the loser that is your own damn fault. You are not required to have people comfort you when your dumbass decisions come back to bite you on the ass. Why should Posh call to check on you?

    Love Cruz and Romeo, fine with Posh and Brooklyn.. Milan please keep Becks though, thanks

  21. Boston Red says:

    Cruz is the cutest little thing! And how gorge does Victoria look there? I chuckled at the Giggsy story. I’m more impressed by the lad who had the balls to do that!

    On Cruz, aw. He looks adorable. Anything else regarding the Beckhams… meh.
    On Ameobi, wow. Thats sad. Or maybe its just sad because I’m a major, major "clean-it-or-die" neat freak.
    On the Almanac, I’ll have to save that to my favorites.
    On Posh not calling Cheryl…. hm.
    On the pranks… wow.
    On Buffon’s hair, woah. It looks halfway decent.
    And on the transfer window, God… *stares and waits for news*
