WAG fight! Danielle Lloyd assaulted by Jamie O’Hara’s ex


Serial WAG receives comeuppance for destroying relationship

Danielle Lloyd

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:

A scuffle broke out with friends of Sade, 23, and Danielle claims one smashed her in the face

Ten things that made the Carling Cup Final less boring


The Spoiler’s list of stuff that made yesterday’s mundane Wembley showpiece interesting

Carling Cup Final

The team line-up balloons
Of all the naff gimmicks on display at Wembley yesterday, the black balloons that displayed the team line-ups were the classiest.

Harry Redknapp’s giant flower
While Alex Ferguson took the dignified approach of wearing a Mourinho-style jacket, Harry Redknapp offset his outfit with a comically huge flower. He must’ve struggled to stay standing upright with that thing weighing down his lapel.

The Fan-o-meter
In their attempt to make the fans feel more like they were at Disney World, Sky and Carling concocted the ‘Fan-o-meter’. Using a mixture of microphones and pseudo-science, we were given constant reminders of the decibel levels in the stadium, and therefore whose fans were the loudest. Alas, the fan volume was virtually even throughout the entire game, rendering the exercise as inconclusive as the football after 120 minutes.

David Bentley’s rubbishness
He can put a football in a skip from the top of a building, but putting a penalty on target is too much for DB. How long until ‘Arry kicks him into a skip?

Video highlights: The Carling Cup Final


Man Utd win strange little three-handled trophy

Manchester Utd 0/ Tottenham 0 (Manchester Utd win 4-1 on penalties)

Congratulations are due to the person who edited the video above, as we wouldn’t have been able to squeeze 5 minutes and sixteen seconds of highlights out of yesterday’s Carling Cup match. In a game where the brilliantly pointless ‘fan-o-meter’ kept us up to date with decibel noises around Wembley, neither keeper had much work to do until the shoot-out.

Rather than put strikers up for penalties first - the guys who are paid to score goals - ‘Arry decided to go with Jamie O’Hara, Vedran Corluka and David Bentley. Presumably, Heurelho Gomes and Sandra Redknapp were due to take penalties four and five, but were denied the chance when O’Hara and Bentley failed to convert.

Michael Owen to Chelsea, Xabi Alonso to Arsenal and Robbie Keane to Spurs


24 days until the window is flung open

Michael Owen

With the focus in today’s papers being on the football that took place this weekend, transfer rumours have taken a backseat and the majority of the stories have just regurgitated some of your favourite rumours from the summer. Here’s the pick of the bunch:

Michael Owen to Chelsea
Despite spending most of his three years and four months at Newcastle on the treatment table, Owen has an amazing goalscoring record of 28 goals in 50 starts for the struggling club. The striker confirmed this weekend that his contract talks had halted five or six months ago, which apparently prompted a tired Luiz Felipe Scolari to take notice.

The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: It’s hard to see Chelsea gambling on him and even if they were interested in January, Ashley has history for detracting bidders with a ridiculous asking price!

Xabi Alonso to Arsenal
