Ladies match turns into mud wrestling battle (without the mud)

BYU’s Kassidy Shumway and Elizabeth Lambert (the dirty one) of New Mexico get the undercard for Haye vs Valuev started early.

Needless on-pitch aggression, case no. 5694

It seems the world of football has gone a bit ‘ultra-violence’ recently and fans in Guatemala want in on the ground floor.

Last weekend’s match between Universidad San Carlos and Heredia ended in controvesry after the referee apparently turned down a Universidad penalty shout in the final minutes of a 1-1 draw.

After the final whistle a group of masked attackers rushed the pitch and set about throwing rocks, destroying advertising hoardings and panel beating the legs of any officials in sight, with one linesman needing 20 stitches in his leg.

Manchester Utd star forced to apologise for rowdiness

On Monday night, The Spoiler was lucky enough to attend a Stereophonics Fan Club show at Camden’s intimate Electric Ballroom. The sound mix was perfect, the boyos resisted the urge to play too much new crap, and the new crap they did play was rather good (see video above).

Little did we know it, but we were also in the company of Wayne Rooney, who came down to foggy London town with his brother Graham and some friends to check out his favourite band. Those standing near the handsome Manchester Utd striker, however, were treated to some fabulously obnoxious behaviour. The Sun reports:

“Graham and the friend were bouncing around, knocking into people and spilling their pints.

“At one point a minor scuffle broke out. Wayne was taking people aside to excuse their antics.”

After apologising profusely for the conduct of his party, Rooney left the north London venue with a huge beer stain down his hoodie.

Striker’s shoe fetish caused rifts at Emirates

The private beef which caused Emmanuel Adebayor to moonwalk over Robin van Persie’s face a fortnight ago has been revealed to be the same reason he fell out with Nicklas Bendtner last season - an unhealthy shoe obsession.

According to the News of the World, following Arsenal’s final day win against Stoke last season, Emmanuel knee-slid into the Gunners’ dressing room with an extra-strength bin liner and (as one club rep put it) ’swept the place’, bagging as much of his team-mates’ kit as would fit - including a pair of boots Robin van Persie had planned to give to friends - before hauling ass.

A member of the Arsenal backroom staff was left break the news to the players:

“We never saw him - or the boots - again. Robin was going mad.

Despite it not being his client’s strongest suit, Ade’s agent tried to put a humanitarian face on things:

“A lot of African players take kit back to their country because the facilities and conditions in Africa are not the same as they are in England.

Villa midfielder throttles boss

Just as Aston Villa’s top four contending season looks to be getting back on track after a humbling opening day defeat, news has broken of a spanner in the works in the form of an old fashioned training ground bust-up.

Possibly driven wild after being told he’ll play out of position again on Saturday, Nigel Reo-Coker, the rich man’s Phil Neville, allegedly snapped yesterday during Villa’s training session at Bodymoor Heath centre and started a wrasslin’ with unassuming gaffer Martin O’Neill.

According to The Sun, who have eyes everywhere, things came to a head after a ‘heated exchange’:

One stunned onlooker said: “It was really heated and at one point they fell to the ground grappling with each other although no one was throwing punches or anything like that.

Probably the best U-14 football brawl you will see today

Approximately 100 per cent of football matches in South America feature an outbreak of violence, something that is apparently taught from a young age.

In this recent encounter between Boca Juniors and River Plate’s U-14 sides, a brawl was sparked when the ref awarded a late penalty. Boca’s coach Roberto Pompei interjected to show his disgust with the decision, and within seconds a massive ruck broke out.

Serial WAG receives comeuppance for destroying relationship

News of the World readers will have been shocked to the core to read that  Danielle Lloyd - the glamour model who is passed around the Premier League like currency - has been accused of stealing someone else’s footballer boyfriend.

Spurs star Jamie O’Hara was in a relationship with model Sade Metcalfe for four years, but was recently snared by Miss Lloyd’s “charms” (read: “big fake boobs”). Scorned WAG Sade only discovered the infidelity when she saw the pair at it on TV, and to make matters worse, the midfielder has taken back the £28,000 Mercedes he gave his former love.

Over the weekend, Sade made her feelings towards the perpetual footballer boffer very clear. According to The Sun, the pair confronted one another at Essex nightclub Funkmojoe, and Dani received an unwelcome punch to the face, leaving her with a cut lip:
