Argentinean responds emphatically to Pele’s claims he is a ‘negative example’
Maradona keeps his distance while ‘welcoming’ Pele to his talk show in 2005
Like cats and dogs, bloods and crips and Cristiano Ronaldo and modesty, Pele and Maradona are fierce enemies. As leading contenders for the position as the greatest football of all time, the Brazilian and the Argentinean have been trying to soil one another’s reputations for years.
In 2000, Pele denied an accusation by Maradona that he had had his first sexual experience at the age of 14 with a coach. At the time, the Brazilian attributed Maradona’s surprising outburst to a mixture of jealousy and disapproval of his staunch support for anti-drugs campaigns.
While bizarrely accusing Robinho of taking drugs on Monday, Pele did not miss the opportunity to take a potshot at his Argentinean adversary, by claiming he was “a negative example”. When journalists asked Maradona for a response prior to Argentina’s match with Venezuela, he ignored the opportunity to defend himself, opting to re-tell his homosexual slur:
“What do you want me to say? He lost his virginity to a man.”
According to Spanish paper Marca, this statement provoked laughter from the journalists.
Everyone agrees that Dennis Wise has done a super job as Executive Director of Football at Newcastle Utd, and one of his greatest achievements is the signing of extremely popular Spanish striker Francisco Jiménez Tejada, better known as Xisco.
Our friends at Kickette stumbled upon a site named Football Boners (we didn’t ask), where they discovered pictures of the 22-year-old having fun on the beach.

In the week that the FA are desperately trying to recruit footballers to front an anti-homophobia campaign, Marcello Lippi has tackled the subject by claiming there are no gay footballers. And if any remain in the closet, the Italy manager thinks they should probably just keep their ugly sexuality under wraps:
“I don’t think there are any gay players, or at least in 40 years of my career I have never met any. It could well be that there are a few with these tendencies, but they don’t go around telling people about it. Considering the way football players are, it really would be a complicated condition to deal with in the locker room. If someone came to me and confessed they were gay, I would advise them to not let any of that affect them, just concentrate on their profession and feel free to do what they want in their private lives.”
The World Cup winning coach will be disappointed to learn that many footballers are doing exactly what they want in their private lives, if an anonymous whistle blower named ‘Victory’ is to be believed. He is believed to be an ex-footballer and current rent-boy, who

If I learnt anything at school, it was the following mathematical equation: socks + sandals = beard. It wasn’t on the curriculum, but through a mixture of The Fast Show and a stuffy history teacher, it has always stayed with me.
I was reminded of this adolescent knowledge by the picture above, which features David Beckham on tour in Hawaii rocking the flip flops/ socks combo. In the gospel according to Kickette, this is a major fashion faux pas, regardless of the length of his beard. But despite his ambivalence towards trendiness, Becks has been voted number one pin up in a poll by gay magazine AXM:
1 David Beckham
2 Channing Tatum
3 Hayden Christensen
