Apparently, the Blues doesn’t just refer to the shirts

Birmingham defender Frank Queudrue has given a very, erm, frank interview to a French magazine about his fondness for watching pornographic movies. But don’t worry - he only watches it for the actors. The defender got himself into a discussion about sex with So Foot magazine and is probably now wishing he hadn’t.

The ex-Middlesbrough man was asked what was the first porno he ever watch. “I have no idea, I just watched it for the actors,” he replied. The journalist, obviously surprised that a married footballer’s love of gay porn had been uncovered quite so easily, offered to correct Queudrue and asked if he meant actresses. But metrosexual Frank didn’t seem to see where the problem was. He said: “Yes, as well, I used to watch it on encrypted channels.”

Queudrue then ensured that if he was going down, his team-mates were coming with him… Asked whether he ever pleasured himself in the company of other, he said: “Nope, but we are used to watching [pornographic] movies with several team-mates almost every week to have a laugh.”

One of the few perks of having David Gold as your chairman, I guess!

Boro and B’ham head honchos inspire debate via slanging match

The powers-that-be at Middlesbrough and Birmingham have been having a bit of a ding-dong of late. First, Birmingham chairman David Gold said that it was better to experience constant promotion and relegation than to float around mid-table like Middlesbrough. Yet now, Boro’s chief executive Keith Lamb has responded.

“I seriously doubt Boro fans would swap our recent histories. Since moving to the Riverside in 1995, we have achieved five major cup finals, are the only English side outside of the so-called big four to have played in a European final, have enjoyed successive seasons of UEFA Cup football, won our first major trophy and enjoyed 11 consecutive years in the Premier League.”

Rumours that he added that his daddy was tougher than Gold’s are unsubstantiated, but nevertheless Lamb raises an important issue for football fans: would you rather enjoy the financial benefits and consistency of mid-table obscurity, or experience the highs and lows of alternating promotion/ relegation campaigns.
