After slagging off Zinedine’s sister and getting a WWF style head butt in return, Marco Materazzi has formally apologized.
Not to Zizou, but to his sister. We’re not sure how exactly he did this (flowers? a card? perhaps he baked her some delicious bread), but he’s so serious about making it up, that he has invited Z to his home so they can work out their differences.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has made it clear he wants the two to reconcile.
Earlier this week Materazzi revealed what he had said to Zizou: “I was tugging his shirt, he said to me ‘if you want my shirt so much I’ll give it to you afterwards,‘ and I answered that I’d prefer his sister.“

Woe is me, says new Chelsea signing Ashley Cole. Newly married and never one to keep his big gob shut, Mr. Cole isn’t done winding up old boss @Arsenal, Arsene Wenger.
In his autobiography, “My Defense”, Cole says that Thierry Henry got wined and dined during contract talks, but he didn’t get squat.
Can you hear the whining tone yet?
He says: “Thierry signed a new four-year contract two days after the Champions League final but our our situations were different.
“The club made him feel wanted, “wooing” him, wining and dining him, speaking in public about how much they want him to stay, going on a deliberate charm offensive.
But me? I didn’t have one dinner, one meeting or one phone call from anyone.
No one took time out to discuss the club’s ambition and vision with me.
That’s not sour grapes, it’s just a sad truth.“
Yet another to add to the “used to be cute” list. We don’t know exactly when it happened, but somewhere along the way we’ve lost our love for Mr. Cole. Perhaps he can get it back for us playing with Chelsea.
We doubt it though. Like a nice cup of tea gone cold, you can put it in the microwave and heat it back up, but it just doesn’t taste quite the same. Or something like that.

We have no idea how this slipped under our radar.
Photos like these of Matthew Bates (Middlesbrough) taking pictures of himself – naked – are the reason this website exists.
Our most humble apologies.
For the nakedness, keep on scrolling.

David is feeling broody. He told the Daily Mail: “Suri is gorgeous. I have spoken to Tom (Cruise) loads since the birth but it was the first time I had seen Suri. It made me really want a baby girl, so fingers crossed we will have one.“
Good to know if (when) they have another boy, the kid will feel wanted.
Becks also declared that his international career isn’t over yet: “I’ll be back.“
Victoria told the press she has her hands full with her three sons and will probably be trying for a baby next year sometime.
Also, Victoria’s failed/cancelled/canned solo album has been leaked on the internet (remember that whole “kickin’ it” with Damon Dash PR scam?).
It’s the law of the Google: if you have a past, it will re-surface, and it will sound bad). Mrs. B is tres pissed because she thought the songs were “useless” and doesn’t want others to hear them.

An undercover sting operation by the BBC is making very serious allegations about corruption in the Premiership. At least one agent and three teams were targeted and it’s not looking good. The agent is reported to be leaving the country following the probe.
The skinny: the clubs are alleged to have broken industry rules by “tapping up” players – approaching them without permission from the club they’re contracted to. There are allegations of backhanders to officials. The world of footy agents is in a spin over who’s likely to be implicated.
The game hasn’t had a saga-drama like this since George Graham, the Arsenal boss was fired in 1995 for accepting
