Personality: model’s own | |
When the brains trust at drab middle-aged clothing brand Peacocks needed a new face for their menswear collection, they drew up a shortlist of dream candidates. | |
But with Richard Hammond and Adrian Chiles not answering their calls and George by ASDA going from strength to strength, they were desperate. | |
Then, one marketing guru had a eureka moment - what about that footballer who has only seen eight films ever and has never tasted tea or coffee? | |
The As seen on Michael Owen range was born. | |
A “universally flattering colour palette of neutrals and darks”, the range is as daring and imaginative as Owen himself. | |
The bomber jacket with decorative arm zips is tremendous, by the way. |

Pay Czech | |
In the ruthless theatre of modern football, small clubs have to grab cash where they can. | |
So don’t be too hard on third tier Czech side FK Usti nad Labem, who sold a spot in their squad to the portly 22-year-old son of a local millionaire. | |
Law student Martin Podhajsky will replace the club’s captain up front for 10 minutes in an upcoming league game. | |
"He has never played football," president Kuban admitted. | |
"Only FIFA from what I know. However you don't just see 500k czech crowns rolling on the floor every day. If someone gives me this type of money, I'll let anyone play.” |

Go and fetch the Philadelphia | |
After Hansi Flick’s slick, modern football ended in disaster, Germany are on the lookout for a new manager ahead of Euro 2024. | |
And considering crotch-sniffing touchline offender Joachim Löw delivered them a World Cup, maybe another complete weirdo is their best bet. | |
Like disciplinarian Felix Magath, who threw his hat into the ring this week. | |
While in charge at Fulham, Magath overruled a doctor treating captain Brede Hangeland’s thigh strain. | |
“No no no, that’s not what we’re doing,” the gaffer thundered. “Go and get some cream cheese and massage it into the leg. Then add some alcohol. And most importantly, call your mother tonight.” | |
He was sacked following relegation and 11 games without a win. |

I spent the OnlyFans cash on champagne, laughing gas and cockapoos. The rest I just squandered. | |||
Ever since Inter Miami sextupled their Instagram following in 24 hours by signing Lionel Messi, clubs everywhere have been scrambling for their own revenue-boosting talisman. | |||
And Leyton Orient found theirs in midfield bon viveur Madelene Wright. | |||
Sure, she was sacked by Charlton after posting videos of herself honking on laughing gas, guzzling champagne while driving, and letting a cockapoo get behind the wheel of her Range Rover. | |||
But she sure has a talent for racking up views. | |||
With her playing career in tatters, Wright did what any
|
Quick hits |
Felix Magath used to make players go on long runs in searing summer heat and then hide their water bottles to “toughen them up”. They nicknamed him Saddam Hussein. |
During a trip to Iraq to meet the troops, Neil Ruddock did a poo in Saddam Hussein’s infamous golden toilet. |
In 72 appearances in Grand Slams, Novak Djokovic has reached the final in exactly half of the tournaments, and won exactly a third. |
La Liga are the new shirt sponsors for Welsh side Clwb Pel Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. |
Welsh fly-half Dan Biggar lost 5lb of weight during his side’s win over Fiji in 30 degree heat. |

You still don't get it lolNo outrage because he doesn’t manage United.
Enlighten me..You still don't get it lol
Gonna be honest, this whole leaking from the club about Sancho's character and personality (Sometimes he's loud, sometimes he's quiet --- btw wtf does that even mean lol, sounds like just any human being on this planet) is nasty. United making a concerted effort to make him look bad but when it comes to domestic abuse, they're like what's that, we dont know what you guys are talking aboutEnlighten me..
