As Samuel Eto’o inches closer to earning £192,000-a-week after tax at Manchester City, The Mirrorare reporting that he has already organised some suitable accommodation for his family in northern England.
Freddie Flintoff owns a £2.5m mansion in Hale, but has since has moved his family to another home in the relatively-nearby Cheshire village of Mottram St Andrew (on land once owned by Mark Hughes). Hence, the Lancashire all-rounder is now looking for a lodger who is happy to piss away an outrageous amount of rent:
Barcelona ace Eto’o is set to move into a Georgian style house in the plush village of Hale owned by cricket ace Flintoff, who is renting out the property for around £20,000-a-month - a fraction of Eto’o’s £200,000-a-week wages.
The Spoiler is a little confused as to why Eto’o would rent a place in England, when he could easily afford to buy one outright. Is he waiting for market conditions to improve, or is he not looking to stay on our tiny island for very long?
Would you dump Miss England? A certain England cricketer did
Leicestershire beauty Laura Coleman was crowned Miss England in July this year, the same month that Stuart Broad ended their “secret” ten month relationship. The pair actually met for the first time as children, but the right-arm fast-medium star broke it off when his cricket and her modelling commitments got in the way. The damned fool.
Much like Juande Ramos and the stench of failure, German WAGs and ’scoiety ladies’ Katja Zickler and Cora Schumacher have been inseparable of late. Katja (the brunette on the left) is a former ‘Miss Bikini’ and current wife of FC Salzburg’s Alexander Zickler, and Cora (voluptuous blonde on the right) is the better half of too-rubbish-to-get-a-contract-this-year F1 driver Ralf Schumacher.
The pair have been snapped out and about by the German press recently, most notably at Oktoberfest and at the opening of Austria’s answer to the Cricket fashion boutique, an emporium called ‘CoKa’.
If you haven’t been to America, you should go, the place is amazing. Everything’s huge, people speak with hilarious pretend voices, and the national dish is beefburgers and chicken wings. Fantastic. Also big in the US is baseball - it’s their version of cricket - and this woman, Alyssa, is a fanatic. So much so that she designs baseball clothes for lady fans, owns an LA Dodgers season ticket, and has shared intimate lovemaking moments with Brad Penny, Carl Pavano, Barry Zito, Russell Martin and Tom Glavine - all big sports stars who are the American equivalents of Boycott, Gower, and Beefy.
Other than that, she’s a gorgeous Hollywood actress, who once starred as Arnie’s daughter in his action adventure film, Commando, about a man who leaves the house without any knickers on.
Pietersen shuns future leaders of industry in nightclub
Last night, South African-born England cricket captain Kevin Pietersen squired his lovely wife Jessica Taylor about foggy London town, accompanied by his brother and his respective ladyfriend. The double-daters enjoyed fine sustenance at Nobu Berkeley, and then decided it was time to throw some shapes on the dancefloor. They arrived at popular WAG hangout Mahiki, but left immediately when they discovered it was student night.
Why the hatred for the work-shy university layabouts, Kev? Does the prospect of hordes of financially impaired youngsters throwing up on your shoes while dressed up in comedy golfing attire bother you that much? Hmm, point taken.
Spoiler bonus: See more of Jessica and her love of falconry here
