THIS IS EXTRA TIME

because there's more to the game than the game

About

We're putting the focus on the WAGs, lifestyle, players and the all important gossip and dirt surrounding the beautiful game. Because let's face it, there's so much more to soccer (football) than the game. Did we mention the hot footballers? And yes, we do know the offside rule, thank you very much.

Of The Moment

[guest edited this week by Blair @ MRWF]

EPL Hottie: Jay Heaps - The blue eyes and curly hair reminds me of an Owen Hargreaves type of hotness.

EPL Hottie: Xabi Alonso - He’s one of those fallback hotties when you can’t think of anyone out of the blue.

Most Hated: Jose Mourinho -Never all that loved in the Premier League, he’s now raising eyebrows in Serie A. But rather than picking fights with managers in the technical area, he’s chosen a much higher target, Pietro Lo Monaco, the Catania chief executive. Their verbal sparring has resulted in Jose requesting monetary compensation for Lo Monaco’s free advertising: “If this guy wants to earn free publicity by talking about me, he’d better pay me. Adidas features me in their adverts, but they pay me a lot of money to do that. I don’t get paid to help this Lo Monaco get in the papers.” Oh…snap!

Most Loved: Frank Lampard’s Thighs - I’ve missed them for so long that I almost forgot how gorgeous they were. But finally they’re making a comeback. They first appeared in the Manchester City game, and have now been visible in the Bordeaux and Manchester United games. It seems he’s still wearing the compression shorts for training, but that is just a minor detail. Perhaps it was my last “Of the Moment” post that finally forced him to lose the spandex.

Most Annoying WAG: Cheryl Cole - Cease the crying on X-Factor. Running mascara is not a good look. And it doesn’t look good when you contradict yourself either. One minute you’re refusing to talk about your marriage and the next you’re talking about it on national television and in magazines. Make up your mind love. Good job on the runway though.

Barfline: HANDBALL LAMPS! -- It seems that Frank Lampard’s thighs are getting more than just some action on the pitch. But, do they have to make a football reference out of Lampsy getting a little action in his “penalty box” from some ladies at Funky Buddha? I think not. Bad form, from both the Daily Star and Frank.

'Round the Neighbourhood: He just can’t resist. The Scouser in him just can’t allow him to keep his bloody mouth shut. His honesty in his autobiography threw some people off at first, but it only made me want to buy it as soon as possible! And now he’s gone out and blasted the American owners of his club. Probably not the best of career moves, but it is who you are, and that’s why we love you!

I SMELL A TRANSFER!: POLDY'S ON HIS WAY OVER

[This is Podolski. Mind the Polish kit.]

Definitely a bit of stating the obvious here but Lukas Podolski is going to be leaving Bayern Munich this summer. With both Toni and Klose lining up for the same spot in the Bayern's starting XI, Podolski spent most of last season sat on the bench.

Poldy speaks:

"For me what matters at the moment is the Euros. Afterwards I will think about everything else. But if I can't see the possibility of playing under Jurgen Klinsmann, you have to ponder (the future). I am not a footballer to sit on the bench."

So far, Lukas has confirmed that both Spurs and Juventus have both been in touch and he's been linked to Man City, Man United and Arsenal.

Other transfer bits and pieces:

Makelele's going to take his old-man self to PSG. Good.
Xabi Alonso is still not sure where he's going. The general assumption is that Rafa's going to be offloading him to make room in the budget for Gareth Barry.
Benitez is also trying to sign ~~Spain, yes all of them~~ David Silva.
The other Ferdinand brother (not the one off looking scary in Israel -- although Anton's over there as well) is looking set for a switch to Villa which will reunite him with dance partner, Reo-Coker. Please, no more bizarro videos, boys.

I want David Silva. I think he's such an awesome player. Rafa needs to stop poaching the Spaniards though. And I couldn't care where Poldi goes to so long as it isn't in the EPL.
