MAN-FLESH DU JOUR: STEVEN AND XABI
[Meta moment: With this post topping up the last two, the TIET front page is looking hella gay right now. Love it.]As a precautionary measure, and even though Xabi transfer rumours have died down somewhat, we're going to go ahead and post any residual Xabi-Stevie Liverpool photos we've got in the tank while we still can.
Morning bits and pieces:
Can we talk Olympic fashions for a moment? Yeah, we're like a weekend and two weekdays late but still. Best dressed? Worst dressed? Our pick for worst dressed athletes: Canada, hands down. Thanks for nothing HBC. The casual wear is even worse then whatever they were wearing at the opening ceremonies.
Everyone's making their EPL predictions right around now, so is Jose Mourinho: Liverpool will win the league and Arsenal are without depth.
Jens Lehmann has retired from international football and we're absolutely inconsolable. What if this is a prelude to him quitting football altogether? Or, worse yet, to quitting punching random photographers in the street? The Angry Keeper thread was practically built on Lehmann's back after all. A sad day indeed...
Is everyone at Everton either breaking or broken? And, in the same vein, should fans be at all concerned that they haven't signed a single player so far this summer?
Lofty goals for England: Capello says they'll qualify for the World Cup and 'be okay.'
Stoke City captain, Andy Griffin, foolishly resurrects the 'slave' chatter of July and thinks TV should help keep footballers grounded.
If the Liverpool boys don't quite do it for you this morning, an excellent collection -- the best we've ever seen -- of Jose photos over here [compiled by TIET regular, cheryl_bites, actually. Well, done.]
**While we're on the topic of the mysterious world of El-Jay. Have you heard of ONTD_football? We're ONTD obsessives, admittedly. No seriously, the better part of our 2007 procrastination time was spent being pathetic and exchanging rude comments about ANTM and Britney Spears with ONTDers -- it is the single best thing to happen to the Internet since (before?) illegal football streaming. So do forgive us if we're more than a little excited about this particular spin-off. Go buy one of ONTD_F's amazing Iker shirts!

Misty S - Girl, I just can't believe what he said about Arsenal. How could a man I love so much hurt me so?
Kate - Ya'll are going to make me cry some big fat internets happy tears with all your talk of donating to Plan. I mean, what LJ community does that? Are you TRYING to make everyone else look bad with your nice-ness?! I <3 ONTD_FB.

I never, ever thought I'd agree with Jose, but the man talks sense. It is Liverpool's year. Please, god, let it finally be our year!!
