Under-shirt messages are soooo last century

After scoring last night, Carlos Tevez lifted his shirt to reveal a birthday message to someone named Ariel. It’s a very sincere gesture in lieu of the more traditional birthday card, but does anyone actually do the novelty celebration anymore? His shirt scrawling and dummy sucking are all a little too reminiscent of Asprilla’s jersey on the goalpost, Fowler sniffing the touchline and Ian Wright whipping up his top to celebrate breaking the Arsenal goal scoring record.

And if you need anymore proof of Tevez’s appreciation of the decade gone by, check out his New Kids on the Block dance homage in an advert for the Cartoon Network:

Samuel Eto’o gets his paparazzo on

After scoring in hat-trick in a 5-1 drubbing of Levante on Sunday, Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o pulled a fantastic new goal celebration out of the bag.

The Cameroonian marched over to a waiting photographer, took his camera and snapped teammates Bojan Krkić and Carles Puyol. The resulting photo was then published on the front cover of sports paper Mundo Deportivo (bottom right in the video below).
