Ach Mein Gott! Zis party rocks, ja!

After finishing in ninth place in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen fell short of their target of reaching the prestigious Europa League by some way. Furthermore, the mid-table side compounded their league failure on Saturday, by losing the DFB-Pokal final (the German equivalent of the FA Cup final where the winner receives an Aztec Pimp Cup) to Bundesliga champions VfL Wolfsburg [that’ll be fellow mid-tablers Werder Bremen, actually - Ed.].

So, how did Leverksuen deal with their disappointing season? They threw a gigantic party, of course!

Straight after the cup final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, the team boarded a bus headed to the capital’s alte Stadtbad (an old converted public swimming pool), where they joined 650 guests from the world of sport and politics. The lucky attendees stayed late into the night, and dined on a horrendously stereotypical feast of curried sausages and chips with mayonnaise.

Clearly, the person who had the most fun was Sascha Dum, who felt the need to throw the fierce hands-beside-head pose in the photo above.

Brazil’s European-based stars hold ‘wild party’

Few people in the world will ever have the honour and privilege of playing for Brazil, so it’s nice to know that those selected for upcoming qualifiers with Ecuador and Peru are taking things seriously.

According to Brazilian newspaper Extra, Robinho, Adriano and various other European-based Brazil stars held a ‘wild party‘ on Monday night, which was also attended by legions of sexy ladies. The soiree at Adriano’s Barra da Tijuca villa began at 5pm, and revellers did not emerge until 5am the next morning, not long before the players had reported for training.

Among the guests were Fabiana Andrade- the model who may have had an affair with Diego Maradona - and Adriano’s ex WAG Veronica Araujo. As if this wasn’t sexy enough, transvestite porn star Patricia Araujo [Google him/ her if you dare] was spotted leaving the villa at 4am.

Apparently, huge parties like these are ‘traditional’ for Brazilians returning from Europe for international duty. Something tells us that the three gentlemen in the picture above are responsible for starting this hard-partying custom…

Manchester Utd man attended shortest celebration of all time

This morning’s Sun newspaper tells us how Wayne Rooney is looking to recreate a night of sleeping on the floor, because the last time he did it was the evening Manchester Utd won the Champions League final. If that seems confusing, then the striker’s understanding of his wold partying in Moscow is even more so:

“We went to the party afterwards, which was brilliant, and did not get back to the hotel until about 2.30am.”

The Champions League final kicked off in Moscow at 10.45pm, meaning normal time would have ended at around 12.30am. Extra time and penalties would have taken another hour, meaning Rooney would have started celebrating on the pitch at around 1.30am. In the next hour, he got changed, did some interviews, left the stadium and crashed at his hotel. Somewhere in that sixty minute window, he also attended the ‘brilliant’ party.

Granted, it’s a petty point about an article that makes absolutely no sense (how can he ensure a victory in a game by sleeping on the floor after that game?), but we at The Spoiler believed Mr Rooney had much bigger drinking boots.

Sunderland forward paints the town red before Chelsea game

Prior to joining Liverpool in 2002, Senegalese forward El-Hadji Diouf told The Guardian:

“If I go out, party and still score goals on the pitch, no one will be able to write bad things about me.”

According to The Sun, the Sunderland party animal completely lived up to his mantra prior to getting spanked at Stamford Bridge at the weekend. Except for the part about scoring goals:

Sunderland star El-Hadji Diouf drank champagne in a trendy bar just hours before his team were thumped 5-0 by Chelsea.Less than 48 hours later he came on as a substitute as his side were drubbed by London giants Chelsea at their Stamford Bridge ground.

The Senegalese forward was with fellow Black Cats stars Pascal Chimbonda, 29, and Djibril Cisse, 27, at Newcastle’s Living Room bar.

They were there to celebrate the birthday of striker Obafemi Martins, who plays for arch-rivals Newcastle United.

Can you imagine what the argument will be like when Roy Keane confronts Diouf about this picture? When two of the scariest men in football face off, the effect will be something akin to Armageddon in the north east. But with a lot more spitting.

Chancer pounces on Mr B’s naivety to experience high life

It’s easy to watch an entire episode of Entourage and wonder what, if anything, actually happened, so David Beckham can be forgiven for his recent mistaken identity faux pas on the celeb circuit. According to the New York Daily News, a cheeky chap took advantage of the LA Galaxy star’s good nature and blagged his way into an evening of free drinking surrounded by bling and ladies with artificial chests:

David Beckham was happy to meet “Entourage” actor Rex Lee at Jermaine Dupri’s birthday bash in Chicago. The only problem? “It wasn’t the real Rex Lee,” laughed a spy, “and Becks brought him into the VIP area and spent the whole night drinking with him!” Beckham’s rep denied the incident occurred.

The man who passed himself off as Ari Gold’s downtrodden assistant undoubtedly caught Beckham at a bad time: he was in Chicago helping the Galaxy lose 3-1 to the Fire, leaving them seventh in the Western Conference. Things wouldn’t be so bad if there were more than seven teams in the division.

Spoiler bonus: Read Mr B’s musings on the Chicago trip on his oft-entertaining personal blog.

Carling Cup finalists celebrate with ex-WAGs and a little too much drink

Last night Chelsea managed to join Spurs in the Carling Cup semi-final, and players from both teams joined forces with a celebratory night out at London’s Chinawhite. Pictured above is Jermain Defoe, who has no problem with wearing a baseball cap in a nightclub, or sharing a cab with a lady who looks like she charges by the hour.

She sounds posh, but her public steamrollering habits say otherwise

The night before England’s crucial qualifying match with Croatia at Wembley, the England squad stayed at the Grove Hotel in Watford, whose decor is more akin to a knocking shop than a top-class hotel. The same day, a group of models were attending a photoshoot for breast cancer awareness at the hotel, and the paths of ‘soccer ace’ Alan Smith and Sophie Bovington-Kerr collided. In a

Liverpool’s December Christmas party was postponed when Stevie G allowed masked intruders to burgle his home and terrify his wife. To make up for the celebration-halting gaff, he pulled out all the stops at the rescheduled event with some thoroughly over-the-top prosthetics.

Having dressing as a parrot last year, Peter Crouch let us a little further into his subconscious bird obsession by dressing as a penguin. Which bird next year, Pete? Falcon? Budgie?

Daniel Agger’s homage to the punk greats such as Good Charlotte showed effort, as did Steve Finnan’s Beetlejuice and Sami Hyypia’s strange
