And I need your help. We're writing this baby together. It's a team effort. Like CLAMP.

It's still in conceptual stages, but think Dream Team meets Tia Mowry-The Game. The current concept is

Its sepp blatter again! he has sent in an open letter to Gazzetta dello Sport..
let us read together this piece of literature genius and revel in the symbolism of black holes and pyramids and frolic within the underlying messages of the following heartfelt letter 
 
Dear readers of Gazzetta dello Sport,

What is this really about? In the case of FIFA's presidential elections we are not really talking about candidate A versus candidate B, but about whether in future there will be candidates at all. The election of 1 June could cause a tectonic movement with irreversible damage. What is at stake is nothing less than the survival of FIFA. The issue of whether this world footballing organisation, developed with success over the years, will continue to exist after this date or, whether it will instead be sucked into a black hole.

MORE JUICE )

Sepp Blatter will make way for a successor as FIFA president in four years' time if he is re-elected in June, he has announced.

Blatter is seeking a fourth term as FIFA president and is being challenged by Asian confederation chief Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The 75-year-old told UEFA's Congress in Paris on Tuesday that if he wins he will definitely stand down in 2015, saying: "You know very well that I am a candidate for the next four years as FIFA president but these will be the last four years for which I stand as a candidate."
He added: "Together we have the task of bringing together the adventure we have started.
"We want to ensure a better future for our youth."

The new president will be elected at a Fifa Congress which starts on 31 May.

With Bin Hammam vowing to increase Fifa's decision-making power and spread its considerable wealth, Blatter is facing his first challenge since Issa Hayatou took him on - and lost - in 2002.

Bin Hammam is also currently attending the Congress for European football's governing body, Uefa, as they lobby federation presidents for their vote on 1 June in Zurich.
Uefa members make up more than one quarter of the maximum 208 Fifa voters that Blatter and Bin Hammam will attempt to woo.
The winner needs a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast in the first ballot, or a majority in the second.

Fifa has set an 1 April deadline for other candidates to be nominated by a single member federation.
"We are in extra time," said Blatter, referring to the time left before the election. "Let's wait and see what the outcome will be."

First we had Kenny giving interviews gushing about what a lovely person Andy is:
"He's a really good lad, he's really down to earth." "what will endear him to our fans is that he's normal. It's a terrible word to use, but I don't know any other word for it - he's down to earth, no edge, not arrogant or dismissive. Just a guy who is good at football."

Then loads of pictures of them having a laugh while all the other lads are busy training:

Ew sorry about the watermarks

And now they've been spotted on a LADS NITE OUT at a gig watching....BOYZONE?!?!?!






THEIR LOVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, CARLISH 4EVA <333333

UPDATE!!!! Kenny has spoken:
 
"Well, it wasn't a date! He just happened to be there. I was with Marina and her mum!" Yeah, yeah, a likely story :P

FAT FRANK & HIS
CHRISTMAS PIE

Frank Lampard was lonely. His first christmas without Elen had turned out to be more depressing than he thought, and he was stuck by himself in his huge mansion. He was spending the night sat in front of the television when suddenly the telephone rang. He sighed. He was reluctant to move because of the effort it caused but decided he better pick up.

You and I are finally alone )

Roberto Mancini is reported to have made Barcelona defender Gerard Pique his top transfer target for Manchester City, and is set to launch a staggering £90 million bid for the player.

The People claims that City will offer Barcelona £50m for the World Cup winner, with wages of £8m-a-year over five seasons.

Pique's agent is reportedly aware of the interest, while the Primera Division giants are apparently bracing themselves for an offer for their centre-back.

Pique started his career at Barça, before moving to City's rivals Manchester United in 2004. He returned to Camp Nou in 2008 and has since become an important figure for club and country.

Mancini already has a wealth of options at his disposal in central defence, including Kolo Toure, Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards and Joleon Lescott.

The report comes off the back of the announcement that City recorded losses last year of £121m, with chief executive Garry Cook indicating there would be a curve in spending on the transfer market in the future.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti believes Mario Balotelli will turn Manchester City into genuine title contenders.

Balotelli, who turns 20 next month, is set to leave Inter for Eastlands in a move rumoured to be worth €35 million. Balotelli has courted controversy on a regular basis during his time in Serie A but, while Ancelotti feels the tabloids could cause problems in England, he expects the striker to be a major success.

"With him, Manchester City will challenge for the title, not just fourth place," Ancelotti told La Stampa. "Mario is a crazy talent. The Premier League is the ideal place for him.

"He'll find Roberto Mancini, the coach who launched his Serie A career, and there is almost no racism to contend with here. No alibis or advice for him anymore, except for one thing: he needs to watch out for the tabloids."


Asked if Inter were doing the right thing by selling the player, Ancelotti said: "Well, €35 million is a tidy sum. There is also too much pressure on young players in Italy, so clubs prefer 'secure' used goods to the uncertainty of the new."

Balotelli is said to have held a goodbye party in Milan and reports suggest the deal could be completed before the end of the week.

So it turns out the man who was first reported to have angrily breached security and invaded the England dressing room following England's supporter-infuriating 0-0 draw with Algeria on Friday -- an incident that sparked furious safety concerns and a police manhunt -- was just looking for a bathroom. But the fan says he did make the most of his accidental encounter and told the team what he thought of their woeful performance, even though David Beckham claimed he just said "hello."

Mortgage advisor Pavlos Joseph (right) is the man whose bladder caused this whole mess. He's been banned from attending future World Cup matches. Before being charged with trespassing by Cape Town police and released on bail, he told his hilarious and unbelievable story to The Mirror:

“The crazy thing is I only went looking for the toilet,” says Manchester United fan Pavlos, 32, from South-East London, who has followed England home and away since he was a schoolboy.

“I found a security guard, who sent me off back along a walkway underneath the stand out on to the pitch in the direction of the players’ tunnel and explained that there were toilets near there.

“I walked across the grass and up through the tunnel. Eventually, I took a right, down a corridor and before I knew it I found myself in the dressing room. There was no door.

“The next thing I knew, there was David Beckham standing in front of me."

Hardly an elaborate plan carried out by an irate supporter looking to unleash his wrath on the squad he paid thousands and traveled a great distance to see. But wait! It gets weirder:

“I saw Joe Cole walk naked out of the shower a few feet away from me. He glanced at me and then did a massive double take.

“Suddenly David spoke. He took a step towards me and said, ‘Whoa, who are you?’


“At first I didn’t know what to say. I glanced around at everyone again and then looked back at him. I said, ‘I’m Pavlos and I actually need the toilet.'"

So you've got a naked Joe Cole and a lost mortgage advisor that says "I'm Pavlos and I actually need the toilet."

This is a comedy routine, right? People are actually panicked about this? They're not just laughing so hard that they look upset?

But Pavlos didn't squander the moment on simply stating his need for a toilet:

For a moment, no one said a word. Then I thought, ‘What the heck. I’m in the England dressing room. Why not say something?’

“I looked David straight in the eye and said, ‘David, we’ve spent a lot of money getting here. This is a disgrace. What are you going to do about it?’”

“I told them, ‘That was woeful and not good enough’. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The players’ chins were on their chests — they looked pretty ashamed.


And with that, a FIFA official ushered Pavlos out. He says his ejection from the dressing room was so casual that the FIFA man even agreed to take his mobile phone and confirm his story to his disbelieving cousin before finally showing him to the bathroom. The police, apparently, aren't as convinced of Pavlos' wacky tale and are going through with trespassing charges.

Even still, Pavlos has no hard feelings for the team that let him down:

“If any of the England boys ever need any mortgage advice, I’m here for them — and I’ll get them a good deal.”
Pavlos Joseph: mortgage advisor, inadvertent trespasser, demotivational speaker, man in need of a toilet ... England supporter hero?

I nominate "I'm Pavlos and I actually need the toilet!" to be English fans' battle cry for the rest of their team's World Cup run.

The Soap Opera of the Summer:

ÁLVARO NEGREDO

el Futuro 9 de la Real Madrid y España


My magnum opus on Alvaro Negredo – my summer crush, the future Number 9 of Real Madrid and Spain – and his journey from Real Madrid’s cantera to Sevilla’s Champions League squad. These past few days have been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, and this is how it felt . . .


It happens every summer, without fail. Ahhh, summer flings . . remember Sergio and Fernando last year? Euro 2008, popsicles dripping on your skin, a cool breeze in from the lake while you giggled over picspams and fanfics and White Angels? Yeah – like that.


Except this summer, it was different. Way different. It was all of a sudden – it was messy – it was confusing and heartbreaking and grand. And at the end, finally, finally – there was a happy ending. But his journey from Real Madrid to Sevilla was anything but easy.

He is our future Number 9.



When I first saw him, in this photo – I thought, WOW. Who is this?? He’s gorgeous! Honestly, I had no clue he existed, amidst all the hoopla over the Galacticos – ahem, over one in particular, as billions upon billions of Cristiano Ronaldo photos of every kind flooded the Internet. But Alvaro just – has this look about him that is simply timeless. Like one of those artistocrats – a young scion living on an estate and being groomed for a title but you get the sense that he goes undercover at night, maybe solving mysteries or fighting crime or whatever – like James Bond. Seriously, he looks so gentlemanly off the pitch, but on it, he’s nicknamed “the wild animal”. In another lifetime, he could be a Hollywood star. The James Bond of football.


He is our future Number 9.


Real Madrid isn’t Real Madrid without drama, but he’s only been here two months and he’s been through the worst of it, through every possible tug of war and emotion this summer. He’s a rising star – just turned 24, strong, a born striker – a former Madrid canterano just like Granero and Miguel who scored 32 goals for Almeria the last two seasons and was on the verge of a La Seleccion call-up. Now, everybody’s fighting for him. He wants to go to Sevilla – but we won’t let him. Never – we’ll never agree to strengthen a rival, especially in both La Liga and the Champions League.


Or will we? This is the story . .



Before the jump, one question: Does anyone else find Alvaro hot? Plus, if you're a Sevilla fan, we must get together! Tell me how he will be used?


( Esteban and Miguel are chasing each other around with magic spray . . . )

Inter Star Zlatan Ibrahimovic Hails ‘Scary’ Jose Mourinho


‘Ibra’ has explained why the Portuguese is the perfect coach for Inter and has insisted that the Nerazzurri can stun Manchester United next week.


Inter will travel to England to face Premier League leaders Manchester United in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie after a goalless draw in the first clash at San Siro.

“I am relaxed and very confident,” Nerazzurri striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“They are a great side but so are we. We can do what is needed to progress to the next round. It won’t be easy but, if we want to lift the Champions League trophy, we have to win games like this one.”
The Swedish international is thriving under new boss Jose Mourinho this term and, with 14 goals to his name, is already within striking distance of last season’s tally of 17 in Serie A.

“It’s not easy to manage a great team like Inter - you need to have a great personality to deal with 24-25 champions,” said 27-year-old, pondering the Portuguese coach.

“Sometimes, you have to be pushed to understand you need to do more and it’s good if someone ends up being scared.

“I love this kind of mentality [in Mourinho]. I grew up at Ajax under Co Adriaanse, who was more or less similar to him. I like that a coach treats you badly from time to time and uses tough words. If someone tells me ‘you sucked’, it works for me.”
