Here is the Seville shirt, sort of. This is the Seville shirt minus the sponsor’s logo of 888.com, just the way Fredi Kanoute intended it. So just to clarify, when Seville take to the pitch against Spurs tonight they will be wearing this shirt complete with artistic brushstrokes and 888.com sponsorship. You can click here [...]

A YouTube montage of hot Brazilian babes today, made up of photographs taken at the 2006 World Cup, to follow on from the German honeys we posted earlier this week. Because a World Cup is nothing without Brazilian babes in the crowd.

Ginger prince bends like Bamboo in the summer wind. Can’t tackle for shit.

In football, as in life, unfair play is much more entertaining than fair play. The Devil has all the best tunes, and the best footballers too. To celebrate this fact, Pies strongly recommends that you invest in this brilliant Unfair Play tee. Three cheers for diving, simulating, waving imaginary cards in the ref’s face, over-the-top [...]

FulhamUSA, the website for Fulham’s supporters’ club in the States, is a great read, even if you’re not a) a Fulham fan, b) American, or c) both. I discovered it after clicking on a link to an entertaining interview with Eric Wynalda, a former striker for the Americn national team (he’s the all-time leading scorer, [...]

Man Utd have a job on to progress to the semi finals. They got the crucial away goal that Fergie demanded, so even though they lost I’d say they have a marginally better chance than Chelsea of making the last four. A 1-0 win at Old Trafford will be enough. After Paul Scholes was sent [...]

Pick that out! Great strike by David Silva, followed by a typical ‘hoof it up to Drogba’ reply by the English champions. Valencia now have the edge in the tie; Chelsea are far from out of it, although they do need to score in Spain. Afterwards, Jose Mourinho said that “normally the team that plays [...]

Stefano Napoleoni obviously has a little way to go before his dribbling skills are quite up to Cristiano Ronaldo’s standard. The 20-year-old Italian – who plays in Poland for Widzew Åódź – gets his feet in a bit of a tangle before tripping over here. Bad karma for that offensive ponytail? [Rob Parker]

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has announced that he has already made plans to take his children to watch WWE wrestling if his side fail to make it to the Champions League semi-finals. The Special One – adopting his usual calmness in the wake of last night’s 1-1 home draw with Valencia – claimed he would [...]

When trouble kicks off at an English side’s European away match, the one thing you can always be sure of is that an army of baton-wielding uniformed thugs looking like Star Wars Stormtroopers’ navy blue cousins will be around to crack a few heads open. Look how effectively this prostrate Manchester United fan is subdued [...]

Back in 1999 Manchester United were facing Italian opposition in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on their way to the Treble. Now it is Roma, then it was Juventus. Here is the first leg from Old Trafford. [Rob Parker]

Remember Graham Rooney, star of the TJ Hughes commercial and Wayne’s little brother? Well, if making a few bob by being a cheaper-to-hire version of Wayne seemed cheeky, Graham is now parading around with his very own Coleen. Carly Gardiner, Coleen’s cousin, is the other half of this (even more) downmarket match-up. Watch this space [...]

So Dirk Kuyt (pictured, left) reportedly got himself booked deliberately during last night’s Champions League walkover, by failing to retreat for a free-kick. This means the Dutch striker will now serve a one-game suspension in the second leg of the virtually-dead Liverpool v PSV rubber and thus be free to play in the CL semis. [...]

A new range of t-shirts (and loads of other merchandise, including mugs, calendars, button badges and even a kitchen apron) has been launched Stateside, urging David Beckham to break free from the shackles of Victoria. The ‘Keep Posh’ message is to us in the UK, apparently. ‘Fraid not people – we’ve been looking forward to [...]

Name Michaela Henderson-Thynne. Ooh, posh name! Nationality British WAG of… Middlesbrough & England left winger/Steve McClaren pet Stewart Downing. Michaela, a 21-year-old law student who loves to shop, met Stewart four years ago when they were introduced through her cousin. Aw, sweetness. Hang on a minute, news is reaching us that the couple has recently [...]

I’m sure this Leeds & England fan is a lovely chap – great with children and animals etc. – but he is also one scary-as-hell customer. Can’t put my finger on why – perhaps it’s the red-eye? [Via The Offside]

It will be seconds out at Stamford Bridge this evening as Valencia Amateur Boxing Club take on Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-final. The Spanish outfit will be boxing out of the white corner. Their Nike-manufactured shirt is pretty basic with just the orange and black trim and red Toyota logo providing a bit of [...]

1 There are few sights in football as beautiful as a confident Peter Crouch doing his thing. It’s like watching an excitable baby giraffe taking its first steps. 2 Nicely bobbling ball, 25 yards out: John Arne Riise is the man you want! 3 We stuck our necks out after the last round and said [...]

The German giants have the edge at half-time in this quarter final, thanks to two precious away goals. Milan thought they’d won it with a typically dubious ‘home’ penalty six minutes from full time, until Daniel van Buyten’s injury-time equaliser rather tipped the balance towards Munich. (Owen Hargreaves had a fine game in Munich’s midfield.) [...]

The Reds looked great in yellow last night, beating PSV 3-0 away from home to virtually assure themselves a place in the Champions League semis, against either Chelsea or Valencia. As professional as Liverpool were, the Dutch side were very, very poor – on last night’s evidence you’d say they’d struggle to avoid relegation in [...]

Plymouth boss Ian Holloway was understandably not best chuffed as his side were thrashed 4-0 by Burnley last night. Ollie resorted to talking about ‘Ian Holloway’ in the third person as he read the riot act to his squad. He said: “There are some massive decisions to be made involving the whole squad. The only [...]

Fancy snagging £100 in Amazon.co.uk vouchers just for mouthing off for five minutes? You could treat yourself to a pile of gorgeous coffee table books, some DVDs (Gazza’s Greatest Goals, perhaps) or whatever else takes your fancy, just for filling out a few questions.
