By Chris Wright

Who dese l’il blighters, eh? One thing we know for sure, the wee chap on the right sure don’t like having his photo taken (answer at the bottom, so scroll down with great care young Padawan)…

It be Mini-Mikel Arteta and Mini-Xabi Alonso! Reebok Pumps. Wow.

(Thanks to Pies fan @D_NS for the nudge!)

    Which pennant X.Alonso is holding in his hands? FCN –> Football Club de Nantes (average team in L2). Am I wrong?

    A coincidence that they are both wearing the home colours of their current respective clubs?

    @Chris – that was my first thought: “wow, he’s rockin’ the Reebok Pumps”. All that was missing was Arteta wearing some British Knights or Kaepas

    @Capt. Mok
    Unless Xabi Alonso is off to Manchester City, then probably not.

    @Your mom
    Or FC Nurnberg?

    obviously xabi is upset because his parents made him wear a coat with lavender lining. also, it would be a dream to watch these two play together now. wasn’t arsenal going after alonso a year or so ago? make this happen, universe!
