Quick Bits: Holiday Happenings
Kickettes! How are you doing? We’re upright and that’s all that counts. Hope you’ve been enjoying the post-Xmas footy – exciting stuff happening all over the table, no?
So, we’re curious: did everyone’s favorite footballer come for a personal visit to lift your spirits from the depths of hangover hell? We’ve been terribly behaved all year so it was hardly surprising Santa didn’t leave Cesc under the tree for us. Maybe next year.
Here’s what some of the footy lads/ladies have been up to during our mini-break:
David Beckham got a bulldog puppy from wife Victoria as a Christmas present. Subsequently, he gave good face upon arrival in Milan today.
-
‘Ballers were full of good deeds this season. Joe Cole dressed like the jolly Saint Nick to visit hospice children; the Manchester United squad sent a few of their best-looking players to brighten some kids’ days in Northern England; and Tottenham teammates divided and conquered five area hospitals to distribute presents and kisses.
-
Frank and Elen dined with their kids at his father’s house. And hell no, Bleakley was not present.
-
Mamen Sanz took the newest addition to her family, daughter Maria, on her first retail adventure. We are already seething with jealousy and the kid is barely two months old. Is that wrong?
-
Cristiano visited Uzbekistan to obtain the world’s ugliest velvet robe fit for a tacktastic king. Oh, and to host some charity projects with Nike.
-
Even though we have no photo evidence, we’re gonna put our money on a few WAGs shopping for gifts over at Cricket both before and after the holidays. You can, too, now that Cricket’s new site is live.
-
Poor Benzi reminded us that just because you can grow a mean chin-beard-thing, it doesn’t mean you deserve a driver’s license. He was involved in his second car crash - this time a Lamborghini – in two months. Luckily he emerged unscathed.
-
Jamie O’Hara bought fiance Danielle Lloyd a new puppy named Bentley. He’s a mini Yorkshire Terrier.
-
Totti and Gattuso giggled their way through a Vodaphone ad. This video has been on our “repeat” playlist since last week.
-
Baby Bojan was fed to the sharks in a aquarium tank.
-
Lucas Poldski did something or other with these elderly women. Grandmas, like the rest of us, heart Poldi.
-
Lastly, Paolo Maldini and Christian Panucci were both with their families in Miami. Stalkers, get your digi cams ready and send us your shots!


I normally don’t have much good to say about Cristiano Ronaldo, but at least he was a sport to wear that robe.
Joe Cole!!! Oh my gosh. The picture there looked really good. I’m impressed.
The Frank and Elen story made my week, lol.
Aw! I think I’m developing a soft spot for CRon. It is – indeed – the apocalypse.
Cris is just a Dream man i love him so much!
Ah, lovely Niko looked like a teddy bear himself in those pics – if I were one of the kids there, I'd point at him and say, "I want this one and no other!"
I was thinking exactly the same
He needs to come back to Pompey tho
Awww, cute post. So sweet to see pix of the Man U boys visiting the hospital. And CRon was a really great sport to put on that hideous robe! (I know his normal wardrobe is pretty bad too – but still!!)
Awww the Joe Cole story is so sweet.
Danielle Lloyd just wanted a new car insteed of puppy,lol
Awesome post!
By the way, those are Podolski’s own grandmothers
One traveled to Germany from her native Poland and is staying with the other (until mid January)
Happy to know everyone is doing charity…even Frank. haha
But wait…Danielle Lloyd’s puppy is called BENTLEY? XD
I have a feeling Bentley was the one that got away from this man-eater.
happy holidays to you too, K, and ecstatic to have you back!<3
yaaaaay for becks' return to europe/milan~!!!!!
Bojan looks kinda…weird,haha.Like an insect ,hahaah
My favourite baller didn’t come around..:(
According to the news,Frank asked Elen to have dinner together for the girls,and she agreed but she firmly asked to keep that Bleakley woman away,and Frank agreed..but it was a cold Xmas between them..I still cannot believe that he’s really dating that woman
Wouldn’t believe everything in the tabloids… they’ve still got it listed that Elen broke up with Frank and that’s not the case
x
Whow, really, it wasn't Elen that broke up with Frank. I had no idea. Shows how easily i buy into all the rubbish in the press! So did Frank actually break up their relationship?
I've even read that Elen called off an imminent wedding Lol…but this Bleakley story is weird.they are stalked by paps but still no pics of them together,it did even come into my mind that Frank is actually seeing someone that he wants to keep secret and so he doesn't deny this Bleakley affair..my mind is working too much
I've never thought of that. So maybe Bleakley is like a decoy and his really girlfriend is safe from the paps eyes.
I know that it may sound crazy,but to me is impossible that after 3months of dating no one did ever get a pic of them together…just a once Frank’s face spotted on the mirror of a nightclub,than she leaves his home with his friend,they have lunch together but no pics,they go to see Beyoncè together but still no pics,he introduces her to his sisters and again no pics…is weird
Aw, a bulldog puppy for Becks! Nice of Vic to give the most English dog she could find to her hubby. Don’t think it will persuade Fabio to name David to England’s WC squad though.
As much as I like this idea of a puppy for Christmas, anyone who has ever had a dog before knows that you don’t gift a dog at Christmas time. Bad, Victoria, bad! Time someone smacked her over the nose with a rolled up newspaper (I joke!…kinda!).
Awwwwww! Bojan…he’s so cute
And what is with Man U’s xmas party?!
Happy holidays to you Kickette, and to all my lovely United besties. Much happiness in 2010.
Sadly, Roy did not visit me on my vacation (our guest quarters are crammed full anyway) but he did present me with a lovely win today and this picture:

Le sigh . . . . . .
Good to have you back Kickette
thanks for all the updates.
hehe Poldi <3
"Grandmas, like the rest of us, heart Poldi."
hehehe, I would hope his own grandmothers heart him!
joe cole is just the most gorgeous man ever. surely he cannot get any sweeter!!!
Whoops….forgot to mention that Joe Cole is awesome. Ta!
does anyone know if that dog happened to maul beckham?
its suprising that i thought whole the holiday about frank and daughters!
This is some rare form writing… i lololed irl all over the place.
And that Frank and Elen story is classic…
