Cash-grabbers and WAGabees based in North America, finally someone has your best interests at heart. A document detailing various player salaries in the MLS has gone public.

Coleen Rooney (who headed to New York last weekend to watch the Calzaghe/Jones Jr. fight) isn’t turning out the best-sellers like she used to.
Her second book has only sold 10,000 copies after a £2 million advance.

Nurses and pervy physios in training, feel free to peruse this handy EPL injury list and plan your stalking accordingly.

Boo. Our favourite curly haired Canadian-hybrid, Owen Hargreaves is out for the rest of the season with an icky knee situ. Real Madrid’s Van Nistelrooy has also just been put on the sick list for six to nine months. Get better soon, boys!

“I have lived 17 years without any grace and then nine years as a millionaire. There are still eight years to go before it evens out.” If this stellar quote from Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria) is anything to go by, this looks like the biography of the year. Wait, here’s another: ”Sex and food are my great passions, a perfect combination.” Let’s hope Mr. C ghostwrites Coleen Rooney’s next book, yes?

Can anyone ID this Turkish ball handler? He really seems very committed to the task at hand and we wish to send him a greeting card.

Finally, the names of Lucas Neill’s twin bubbas have been made public: Paige and Toby. We approve! Also on our approval list: Lucas’s continuing brand of scruffy-sizzle.
Thanks CS, BJ!
oh micha, you can show me your deck anyday… crap, did i say that out loud..?? *blushes and giggles* ;D
that Turkish player is supposedly to be Semih ?entürk but I’m not sure – don’t know that team
and yay for Paige and Toby! ^^
Poor Owen! I hope next season is a stellar one for him.
Wow, now I need to read Cassano’s bio. That’s pure comedy.
That Turkish baller made my morning. Imagine if he does everything w/ that sort of concentration… O_O
Lucas Neill is one hot DILF. CONGRATS!
BALLACK!!!! *Dies* Greatest photo shoot of him ever. He doesn’t look terrible in any of those photos.
On the list, meh.
On Coleen’s book, I really haven’t that much to say.
On the EPL injury list, I’m laughing my face off. Possibly from sleep depravation.
On Owen and Ruud, that blows. Get better!
On Antonio Cassano…. wow.
No idea who the Turkish baller is.
And on Lucas Neill’s twins names: classic, sweet, and deffo not embarassing. I approve.
The turkish player is not Semih, he is Hakan S
The Turkish player is Hakan S
I'm not a Ballack fan but I think he looks cute in this picture.
i find it hilarious how many people on kickette find ballack repulsive…
:D
Congratulations To Lucas And The Newly Named Bubbas Ha
I Dont Know How Anyone Could Find Ballack Attractive… but Thats Just My Opinion
Ballack, my loverly man!
Good one, Dee!
I'm sick about Owen. A bummer beyond belief. We need him on the team and I need his curls on my daily radar. Sucks all the way around. Wow, some of those MLS salaries are atrocious. $12,900 a year? That's well below poverty level. Train all day and then wait on tables at night, I suspect?
As a Newcastle fan the physioroom has been my best friend for years now…At one point last season, we had 16 first teamers on it. We are awesome. Pagie and Toby, well done Lucas Neill and momma! totally normal acceptable names that will not get their asses kicked on the playground Sex, Food,Football and you can have me at hello – opps oversharing?
Kickettes in Colorado, get us some pics. They are all at Stedman's office
That is Hakan Sükür, one of the biggest players ever in Turkey and a legend in Galatasaray.
Bally, GBA boys definitly having a great finger *girlshy*
Took you bloody long enough Lucas!!

Ah, the physio room. Yep, us United girls play around in there on a regular basis. Looks like our secret is out, girls.
And as for my Owen…yes, the mourning of his lost season continues. I will be selflessly nursing my man back 24/7 so if you don’t hear from me in awhile, don’t bother to call. The phone will be off the hook.
