Manchester Utd star rocks the crop top and and hot pants combo

Rio Ferdinand is currently enjoying a lad’s holiday in Israel (ex-Chelsea star and current complete muppet Jody Morris is among those accompanying him).

Either he is taking part in some good ol’ fashioned stag games (prior to his wedding with Rebecca Ellison in August), or he is preparing to relinquish his reputation as the best dressed man in the Old Trafford dressing room.

Young Israeli helps his side to victory

It’s hard to believe, but most people don’t follow the events of Israel’s second tie, the Ligat Leumit, and therefore this incident from last week may have passed Spoiler readers by.

When Bnei Lod visited Hapoel Haifa, they suffered at the hands of a ball boy. When the home side launched an attack and the Bnei Lod keeper was forced to head the ball clear, the quick-thinking youngster threw on a replacement ball, which duly ended up in the net.

Despite the assistance of their twelfth man, the home side still managed to lose 2-1.

The Toad attempts to rationalise his treatment in the media

No one really expected Avram grant to be in charge of Chelsea at this stage, but he is still there and he still has a big ol’ chip on his shoulder:

“Some of the media here find it a little hard that a coach from a little country is showing them you can do things in a different way but still win”

‘Little country’, eh Avram? Here’s some stats for geography fans:

Population of Avram Grant’s home nation of Israel: 7.8million.

Population of Alex Ferguson’s home nation of Scotland: 5.1million.

Next excuse please, Mr Expressionless.
