The coolest part about this ManPile is probably the fact that everyone’s colliding into one another – and NOT for the ball. Anyway, Senor Bendtner remembered to wear his Thunderbirds pair of boots last night and scored a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-0 demolition of Porto! Ohhh, the pain! Looked like Benfica really did send an eagle to the Emirates stadium after all.
Anyway, Titipo Henry has now come out to declare that the Gunners are going to win something this season. “I know lots of people have a go at (Wenger) over the lack of silverware but every year they are near the top,” he declared. Hmmm.
On a side note, donde esta Carlos Vela?!!
So Senhor Felipe Melo has decided that he really does love the city of Turin – and would like to stay and help Juve win more trophies. And why not right? When he returned to his former stomping ground of Fiorentina last weekend, the tifosi loooooved it!
“No, thanks. It is a pleasure to be observed, praised by a technician as good as (Arsene Wenger), but I have eyes only for Juventus. I’m just focused on my work here. My goal is to play well at Juve,” he declared.
The way he said it – it’s almost like the Gunners are made up of flirty chicas prancing around in Carnaval samba outfits! Yes Dame Denilson, that’s quite possible. o que é sonho!

Arsenal may have lost to Porto last night but Senor GuapoVela here needs to work harder if he wants to intimidate the linesman. Pippo Inzaghi gives part-time classes on that when no one is looking, so tipo Carlos better sign up pronto before all the slots get filled up! Luca Toni already graduated with honours two seasons ago but Pippo never mentioned a money back guarantee. A Sneaky man!
Anyway, the Gunners are now mulling over their 2-1 loss to Hulkamania Porto. Yeah, Fabianski probably needs to find a watering hole asap after yesterday’s performance. Gooners, if you see him walking in the streets of London today, do not hesitate to hand him a lawnmower and a Spandau Ballet CD. He will immediately do a back-pass with those things… you’ll see!
Our dear amis at SambaFoot finally presented Fabulousooooo with his “Best European Footballer in Europe” or Samba d’Or award at the Sevilla HQ on Monday. And thanks to many of your votes, he won it! My my, doesn’t it look muito legal? Je veux que le prix! Of course he didn’t juggle this ball…
It was pretty interesting to hear Fabulouso speaking about his family. “(My family) is not used to calling me before the games. Usually, they call me (after) to know how was the game. My mother never watches the games, she is too nervous,” he said. “She is afraid I will get hurt. One day, I left the field injured, having seizures during a game between Palmeiras and Ponte Preta. I had to leave in an ambulance. After that, it was very difficult for her to watch a game.” (Read the full interview)
The Dona has already decided on 50% of his World Cup list and says that he will tell the players after Argentina’s friendly with Germany next month.
The Messiah, Carlito Tevez, Pied Piper of Higuain and Kun were all called up for the game, leaving no space for Boca’s Martin Palermo. Futbolitas, it’d be a shame to leave him out of the WC squad seeing that he played a HUGE role in Argentina’s qualification in the first place. But as they say, competition is incredibly tough… Prepárense, muchachos!

So you know how the transfer tales have been following good ol’ Fabregas over the last couple of months. From Real Madrid to Barcelona, they just won’t stop talking about the Arsenal crack! Of course, the ever brilliant Crackòvia went to spoof it all complete with a SONG AND DANCE number to none other than the Tom Jones cult favourite. And yes, it features everyone from Florentino Perez and Laporta to Gunners chairman… Peter Hill-Wood!! Brace yourself for CESC ON!
How many different ways can you wear lace? Is Denilson sneakily telling Dunga that he wants a World Cup spot by dribbling about in that jersey? What kind of music does LacePod give you exactly, Cannavaro? And as for Arshavin…breakfast anyone? You’d best watch the ad for yourself… and try not to snort at Materazzi’s take on the role of a Boxer. Che ironia!
We’ve been meaning to publish this great photo featuring Martin Abram, a Gooner from Croatia and Senor Guapo himself, Carlos Vela, for a very, very long time. So since the Gunners are playing United this weekend (oh dear, we got our fingers dipped into the Juve/Lazio and Depor/Madrid instead), here’s his awesome tale of hair gel and sombreros told especially to Futbolita!
“I asked Vela to put it the sombrero on and take a pic with me, but he didn’t want to spoil his haircut. The haircut really looked like he put lots of effort in it, so I didn’t want to ask him again,” said Abram (above), a 22-year-old student from Split.
“Few of us, Croatian gooners, went there (to Arsenal’s preseason). I always liked Mexican players, was so happy that Vela finally came, that was his first time at Arsenal preseason, after his loan at Spain (Celta Vigo), so my friend and I decided to make it special for him. We got sombreros from friends, our friend already had the Mexican jersey, and we were ready to attend every training with the sombreros and we’d applaud Carlos whenever he came, or was leaving training.”
“Not once he forgot to say HI, smile, and ask us how are we, not to say, he never refused to take pics with us, sign whatever we wanted etc. Brilliant lad. But we did some of those stuff to other players as well, its not like we were there just for Vela. We wanted to make everyone feel special, and important for Arsenal.”
Our amigos alerted us to this horrid incident which took place in Angola yesterday, the venue of the African Nations Cup. Tongo’s team bus (carrying the likes of Arsenal’s Oil City’s Emmanuel Adebayor, seen above, being comforted after leaving the hospital) was attacked by gunmen who opened fire and killed the bus driver. Nine other passengers were injured – including the team’s press officer (unbelievable!)
The way the striker explained the frenzied situation really puts you there with him. Said Adebayor :
“It was as if we were still living in dream. I was the one who had to carry the wounded ones into the hospital. It is these times that you realize that (this was) really happening. Everyone was crying and calling their families. I think that it was the worst time of day.
“To be honest, without the safety (of Angolan military), I would not be here talking. Perhaps you (would be) talking about my dead body. I think many players want to leave, I do not think they want to participate in this tournament more because they have seen death.”
We can only hope that the neighbouring South Africa’s efforts to step up their military efforts will prevent something like this from happening at the World Cup. No one can do anything to prevent separatists or guerrilla trouble-makers from doing what they want to do and there’s no justifying their actions! Querido Deus, por favor… proteja as equipas.

It must feel pretty damn good to be scoring a brace on Christmas weekend…. just ask Cescy! Elsewhere, Rafael Curly Fries Da Silva managed to earn himself yet another yellow card against Hull City (oi cara, parar de sonhar com vacas ok…) In contrast, the dude needs to stop thinking of that brand new webcam waiting beneath his Christmas tree.
Speaking of Cescy, we found a rather epic photo of the Spaniard trying to convince you that his eyes are indeed magical. So go on now – have a look (and that also applies to you, hombres! Don’t get all shy…)
Kkk, we know there are many admirers of the GuapoVela here and it’s nice to know that he’s signed a new “long-term” deal with the Gunners. At least there was no Pillowface signing and Carlitos actually put on a nice ensemble for this. Look, Arshavin is obviously the squad’s resident stylist. How else can you explain this?
“I’m very happy to sign a new contract and I’m very excited to be spending more years with Arsenal. I just want to work hard and help this great Club win trophies. I want to stay here for a long time and it’s a great responsibility. I will keep working hard to show the Boss and all the fans why I’m here,” he declared.
Well, they’d better give him more chances to start the games and if you listen to Tio Wenger, then we can all calm down. “Let’s remember, he is still only 20 years-old, so there is still a huge amount to come from this boy. We have invested a lot of time in Carlos, as we put him in Spain for two years to get some good experience,” he said.
If you can skydive mid-air during a match, then you deserve a special pat on the back from the world’s futbolitas. Arshavin is a fine example of a man you’d like to offer a poisonous periwinkle to – only to feel bad that he’s giving you his best Cat Eye imitation, so you quickly offer him Kellogg’s Froot Loops instead. Yes, we know those skinny Russian Dior Homme model-types don’t eat at all, but Arshavin is clearly not in their breed. He’s way classier than that! He’s the “Where’s the Glamour? This is Vogue, OK?” type of footballer. Shit, tipo can really make it work!
And how did we know? Thanks to our dear amigas at ONTD Football (who unearthed these gems from his personal site), you can now get a glimpse into the world of the Arshavins. Here’s the perfect tourist and father… bringing his son to the Gunners’ games, sightseeing in London and taking photos in the London Eye. Best of all, besides wincing and yelling passionately on the field, he’s got the semi-serious and half-laughing Russian persona that’s perfect for the likes of Anna Wintour. Folks, Let’s lift it Ok?
And in case you were wondering, Lyubov? literally means ‘Love’ in Russian.
Denilson… onde você foi?! Maybe we haven’t been paying attention to him much, but what a goal against Standard Liege last night! It reminds you of Iniesta’s thriller in the Champions League against Chelski last season. Now now, we know Dunga doesn’t really call up the caras based in England, but perhaps he should now. After all, Gilberto Silva says he makes good soup (it’d better not be Campbell he’s referring to) and Denilson will be perfect for selecao bootcamp. By the way, Nasri était bien trop!
The other dude who deserves a Kinder Bueno is Fiorentina’s Peruvian striker, Juan Vargas for helping his side advance to the next round. Because of what he did singlehandedly, Liverpool are out of the Liga de Campeones… lo siento to hear that but it was muy ingenuo of them to think that anyone at this stage would do them favours. Don’t be sad tipos, “There’s always the Europa League!”
Thanks Alexia for the photo!So he’s not exactly the world’s favourite man right now, but Titipo Henry has officially joined The Dona’s recreational volleyball club after his handball against Ireland. Ok, instead of calling him a hypocrite like everyone, let’s sit down and have a drink. Yes… Détendez-vous, nos chers amis!
Tony Cascarino, a former striker whose national career with Ireland spanned fourteen years (dating from 1985) was one of the first to declare that the Frenchman’s act has singlehandedly tarnished his reputation.
“I am not an angel, but I would never have done what he did. Henry can say what he wants, but for me it was a well calculated deception. He put his hand (there) so as to not to lose control of the ball and then the ball landed on his right foot,” said Cascarino.
Time to go old school, futbolitas!
Stroking a cat… looking intently into multiple screens… we see more of a resemblance to Austin Powers than James Bond! Nevertheless, you know no one can pull this ad better than the furrrrrosh Fabregas. So go on, have a look…
For all those midweek allegations of stamping on Robin van Persie and diving (among other things) Eduardo should be sent back to his comfortable London home with a hot pot of soup cooked by old friend, Gilberto Silva. But who doesn’t like controversy, these days? It’s how we roll, tipos! And the lovely thing about el futbol is that things have the tendency to calm down after a great goal (with or without the help of Vermaelen, mind you). So say BEMVINDO to Eduardo, your Sunday Senor this week…!

When you see photos like these, it makes you wonder why Andre Arshavin did not enter the lucrative fashion industry. That face would’ve made him an instant hit on The Exorcist 9 : Return of the Russian Priest. And when Blondie over here celebrates his goals, his facial expressions kinda get out of hand…
Ok, we went overboard with that one but at least Arsh is a happy man after the Gunners won the Emirates Cup a few days ago.
“Cesc and I now understand each other better,” he told Russian newspaper Sport Express. “To play with him is very cool.”
“I liked that we went to the stadium at midday and there was plenty of time to talk closely. There was a lot of fun together and we don’t get the same chance at the training ground.”

According to the Daily Star, Cescy could be heading to Barca for €40m…. but the Prince of doughnuts wants you to know that he’s fully committed to the Gunners. How could you accuse him of wanting to join the Spanish Treble Winners next season? That’s not right. He will not be a replacement for the man they didn’t get … Ribery!
In other news, Spain have been knocked off the top spot in FIFA’s world ranking… by none other than Brasil. Who decides those rankings and please explain why England lie in 7th place, one spot above Argentina? Oh yeah, we forgot that winning against the likes of Kazakhstan and Macedonia = The World Cup Trophy itself! Glorious.
These BFFS look like Bros on a mission! So don’t try to stop them… especially the walking Sexiness that is Felipe Melo. Ei Futbolitas, hasn’t he grown on you throughout the tournament? Come on, admit it… don’t get all shy on us!
Anyway, Gilberto Silva thinks Felipe should join Arsenal next season and we can’t help but agree. It’s probably the only English club that we genuinely prefer and the holding midfielder would be perfeito for them.
“We heard rumours and he asked me,” Gilberto said. “I said it’s a fantastic club and if he’s interested, he should go without thinking.
“He is exactly what they need – a powerful player with quality. If they got him it would be great because he is a player they need at the moment.
Just because the photo makes Cescy look like he’s literally basking in the grandeur of it all, we decided to post it for your enjoyment.
Anyway, Real Mierda are really getting on everyone’s nerves aren’t they? Ever since Harry Potter Perez announced his candidacy to be the club’s president, everyone from monsieur Arsene Wenger to the gardener’s cat has been linked to a move to the Bernabeu next season. But fear not because he’s probably going to ignore Perez’s text messages and naughty gifts on Facebook. No one takes the post of ‘Real Madrid coach’ seriously anymore. It’s like a part-time job. Grandma Juande knows that. Why do you think they found red lace in the dressing room?
On the Arsenal fans, monsieur said : “It makes me feel appreciated and even more regretful that we couldn’t give them what they wanted this season. I am very respectful for their faith in me. It’s very warming and it makes me even more determined to pay them back.”
Why can’t Ancelotti do the same? He’s playing mind games with the fans! But everyone should watch and learn from Mourinho.
O hello thur! The new Arsenal kit looks pretty neat, if you compare it to Chelski’s sky-diving ensemble. Cescy is not looking at the camera but Arshavin knows that his fashionista wife will not forgive him if he made the same mistake. So be proud, Sasha Pivovarova!
