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!

CANUCKBALL: TORONTO'S 09 HOME SHIRT

[Well, this is unfortunate. This may also be karma.]

A few weeks after we finished scoffing at Chelsea's collared shirts, we're hit with the dreaded collar over our end of the pond. Perhaps, we'll take a lesson from this ...perhaps not.

Other than the collar though, it's not much of a departure from the usual. If you enlarge the photo, you'll see there's also a maple leaf in the background behind the BMO logo. The away shirt will continue to be grey (that's it in the background there). Yes, the same gray that will also continue to clash with the boys' red shorts unless someone sees the light and decides to splurge on some gray shorts to match.

I'm not surprised. Owners Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment aren't exactly the best at styling team jerseys or other apparel for fans.

What is with their obsession with grey? As if the away jerseys weren't bad enough (just a hint boys: BLACK. ALL BLACK AWAY KITS), now the home ones have that fugly grey strip across the shoulders. They are really not helping to convince me to get a jersey any time soon.

As a Torontonian... I'm sorry. I apologize. BLECH.
