The Spoiler

Painful video: Franck Ribery gives Luca Toni a kick in the manzone


The Bayern Munich prankster strikes again

When Bayern Munich opened their Bavarian headquarters to the public, French prank artist Franck Ribery took the opportunity to test Luca Toni’s pain threshhold.

Mad props to Bild for adding an assortment of hi-larious doorbell noises to the incident.

Mildly interesting Spoiler fact:
Bayern’s training facility, upgraded at the behest of Jurgen Klinsmann, now includes a café, a library, an “e-Learning room”, and a family room. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Cobham.

Cristiano Ronaldo lashes out at Stoke’s Andy Wilkinson


Tricky winger lucky not to be dismissed for kicking incident

After returning from the pointless marketing exercise greatest game of their lives in Japan, Manchester Utd scraped a 1-0 win at Stole today thanks to a late Carlos Tevez strike.

C-Ron was hacked all over the place throughout the game, and Stoke’s Andy Wilkinson received a second yellow for a pretty careless challenge on the Portuguese man-o’-sex. Ronaldo, however, reacted to the tackle with a move from the Wayne Rooney book of revenge, and was lucky the ref was paying no attention whatsoever.

We’re seeing this kind of petulant behaviour from the Ballon D’or winner more and more of late - it can only be a matter of time until he gets himself in trouble.
