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!

THE 'S' WORD

[I enjoy David Beckham. That doesn't make him my favourite player. Not by a long shot.]

Every lady soccer fan, at some point, is going to be presented with the 'you only like soccer for the hot boys' argument.

It seems there are still a whole lot of people -- and it's not only men mind -- who are of the opinion that a lady who enjoys her soccer and, by way of her soccer, Thierry Henry's bottom and David Beckham's glorious shirtless moments, cannot possibly know a whole lot about the actual game.

Fellow Lady, Andrea of Ladies..., recently did a very interesting Q&A with Fanhouse regarding sexism in sports blogging where she spoke about some of the issues surrounding being a lady in the sports blogging world.

A very decent read and something that all of us should take a moment to think about.

I'm not going to lie, I do watch soccer just for the men. But it's like my one outlet, everything else I am entirely on top of. From what I've seen all of you are incredibly knowledgeable about the sport, so I don't feel so bad.

Actually, at first I started watching for the guys and then only did I start getting interested in the game. Guys were just the hook but there is so much more to it than that. I love footie so much I'm going to paint a mural on my bedroom wall... And I play football at school.

Many of the sports blogs run by women are even better than the male-created ones.

You go, girls!
