For those propped up against their beds’ headboards, blissfully spooning their duvets and unaware of the outside world, Chelsea lodged a formal complaint with the FA against referee Mark Clattenburg last Sunday for what they believe was a racist insult aimed at John Obi Mikel during that day’s match versus Man United. While the club’s second complaint involving Juan Mata has since been dropped, Clattenburg’s already been relieved of this weekend’s duties – due to “scrutiny” said the FA – and the Metropolitan Police are now concurrently investigating the matter.

The Only One made some bold changes to Real Madrid’s roster against Alcoyano on Wednesday, most notably including two brothers in the line-up, Nacho and Alex Fernández. This was kind of a big deal because, per Marca, the last time dos hermanos played together in a competitive game for Los Blancos was 22 years ago.

Reports insist Roma’s Federico Balzaretti is in a race against his fitness so he can face former club Palermo this weekend. Federico’s hair, while we don’t understand it, is quite endearing. And weird. But more endearing than weird.
From what we’ve seen of Italian footy’s wives and girlfriends, they’re just normal girls doing their best to support their husbands and boyfriends. Case in point Mrs Balzaretti, Eleonora Abbagnato, who’s helping her man’s strained thigh heal by forcing them to accompany her at the shops.
Well done her.

Though it sounds like absolute bollocks to us, the retired footballer’s lawyer is arguing Mikey can’t pay his recent speeding ticket because he (paraphrasing here) has no income and just finished his football career.
“Just because he is a famous footballer doesn’t mean he has any money coming in,” said Ballack’s attorney in defense of his apparent inability to pay a fine of £8,000.
Newsflash: irrefutable evidence suggests that it takes only takes a footballer one thing to capture a woman’s attention and that is money. So while Mr Ballack’s excuse is inexplicably pitiful, we can only wish him the best of luck the next time he goes on the pull.
Because inevitably he’ll try, and will deffo fail miserably.
