Frank Lampard wins £300,000 in Las Vegas


Chelsea star knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em

Frank Lampard

Swinging bachelor Frank Lampard has been enjoying his freedom in the Nevada desert recently, and has been occupying most of his time with a role as the Wynn Hotel’s resident bikini inspector.

When the sun goes down, however, the Chelsea star has been hitting the casino, and it seems he’s been having more luck at the tables than he has attempting to disguise his poolside excitement with that awkward cross-legged pose.

According to The Sun, Lampsie won £300,000 playing roulette and blackjack in a single evening. That’s enough to pay for his plush accommodation, or perhaps a very good night at Spearmint Rhino.

The Spoiler’s top twenty Premiership goals of 2008/09: #10-1


“Tek a bow, son(s)”

With the 2008/09 campaign finally over, The Spoiler continues to take a look back (part 1 is over here in case you missed it) at the season’s finest goals and our nominations for the ten greatest efforts. Surprisingly, only two strikers make the list…

#10: Fernando Torres - Liverpool 4-0 Blackburn, 11/04/09

Would Liverpool’s season have ended in league glory had Fernando Torres managed to avoid injury? We’ll never know - but surely fans would’ve been treated to more gems like this. Nonchalantly foregoing the traditional practice of actually checking where the net is before hitting the ball, the number 9 scores a spectacular striker’s goal.

Google Earth mocks John Terry


Champions League penalty miss immortalised in 3D model form

John Terry on Google Earth

Google Earth’s 3D mapping feature is great, but only really useful for those who wish to check which cars were outside their house on the day the cameras drove past, or those who are planning a robbery. The Google eggheads, however, have finally harnessed their software in a way we can all enjoy.

When Stamford Bridge was originally modelled, the gigantic screen depicted a classic JT and Lampsie post goal hug-out. Now, however, it has been replaced with an image of a tearful man being consoled in the rain after failing to convert a penalty.
