Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘best ever goal’ is pretty good I guess


In case you missed it last night…

Here’s Ronaldo’s amazing dead ball strike from last night, which Sir Alex is dubbing ‘the best kick ever in the history of things that have been kicked.’ Or something like that.

A ray of sunlight for Newcastle fans


Remember when Kevin Keegan made this happen?

With the exception of a victory over Stoke, things haven’t quite gone to plan at St James’ Park since King Kev’s second coming. But let’s hope they give him more of a chance than they gave Big Sam, who was allowed just twenty-four league games in charge before being kicked out. The Manchester United home game is coming up in four weeks time, and the Magpies faithful shouldn’t forget what Keegan orchestrated on October 20, 1996:

Bob Malcolm gets driving ban for being ‘tired’


Is falling asleep at the wheel on a motorway while hammered really such a bad thing?

Bob Malcolm

After a long day of post-Christmas drinking back in December, Derby midfielder Bob Malcolm (currently on loan from QPR) was all tuckered out on a long drive back up north. So, he did what any right-thinking person would do, and switched off his Range Rover’s engine in the middle of the M1, in order to

Ashley should have stuck to his favourite drink


Chelsea’s wayward full back used to prefer the most innocent of refreshments

A Spoiler reader reminds us that before Ashley Cole turned his dazzle on Cheryl, he went out with a lovely north London girl who was definitely not in a girl band. Back then, his drink of choice was milk - “lots of it, straight from the carton.” In less than a year at the world’s flashest club, reliable old cow juice has fallen from favour. In its place are depressing “vodka cocktails” and, later in the evening, mouthwash. So if anyone really wants to know what celebrity tastes like, now you can. Just mix Stoli and Listerine.
