Fabio Capello Spots England’s Strange Girlfriends
FABIO Capello spots the Wags:
“It was possible to meet the women, the wives or the official girlfriends. Not strange girlfriends” - England manager Fabio Capello on training camps in his club days
Who are these strange girlfriends, a tribe of untanned women in sensible shoes who shy away from cameras and have no ambitions to be TV presenters, models or designers?
They say they smell of talc, Ralgex and BO, but until the scent is bottled, how can we be certain?

Theo Walcott Scores With Topless Page 3 Girl
THEO Walcott is Trio Walcott, England’s hat-trick hero.
And topless Mel, 24, from Morecambe, lies back in the sand and tells Sun readers what she makes of it:
“The lad’s always had blistering pace, but I used to worry he might be a bit lightweight at this level. Last night he showed how much he’s grown in every department of the game.”
Bravo!
At a time when so many footballers are aping stunnas (shaved chests, sacked, crack and backs; moisturiser; tears), it’s heartening to see that stunnas are learning from footballers.

Wayne Rooney’s Non-Sequitur Of The Day
WAYNE Rooney, we and readers of the News of the World learn, is “at it five times a night”.
It turns out to be “playing FIFA ‘08”, a video game that features a picture of Wayne in full rant on the cover.
After that coincidence (surely shameless plug? – ed), the NOTW then delivers one of the best non-sequiturs ever:

No chance, said the papers. King Kev was on his throne. He was lovin it, just lovin’ it at Newcastle.

Manchester City: Robinho Introduces The MAGs
MANCHESTER City’s new player Robinho is pictured in the Mirror, topless and in the arms of a woman.
Anorak is unfamiliar with Mr Robinho’s life.
And on viewing the image, Old Mr Anorak supposed Robinho was being portrayed with his wet nurse or an older lover, an impression not unaided by her circling resting on his right nipple.

Big Brother: Gazza, Nicole And Rex
BIG Brother 9 Watch: Anorak’s looks at Big Brother news in the media…
IT’S “Big Brother Nicole”. She wants to tell us about: “COCAINE, GAZZA AND ME.”
Given the PR dive to make whiny Nicole appear interesting, Cocaine, Gazza and Me may well turn out to be the names of three Yorkshire terriers she once encountered on Hamstead Heath.

Samir Nasri Is Something Special
“GREAT for Arsenal, that Nasri’s back. As I said last week, you don’t win the prize as ‘Player of the Year’ in France and then score in your debut in the Premier League if you’re not something special. Just ask Malouda. Oh, wait….”

Letizia Filippi’s Return Flight Of Fancy
CRISTIANO Ronaldo has transferred to Letizia Filippi. But for reasons inexplicable she has yet to go topless on a beach.
With no sign of Ms Filippi’s chest, the Sun is stuck on how best to feature her and so file its daily Ronaldo exclusive.
Normally the paper would stick in a photo of Nereida Gallardo, the footballer’s former topless stunna. But instead it opts to feature Filippi saying how she would like to get on a private jet with her man and “do it”.
Just what she told Star readers on July 24th… It’s another Ronaldo sensation!

Paul Gascoigne Leaves Shezza For Jizza
“IT’S ME OR HIM,” vows the Sunday Mirror’s front-page pledge.
“She’s distraught as he walks out to be with old pal Jimmy Five Bellies.”
Poor Sheryl Gascoigne, for it is she, and Paul Gascoigne, for it is he. What woman cannot sympathise with Shezza?
But are we not the least bit titillated, intrigued that Gazza has left his lover to spend quality time with the gut-busting Jimmy Gardner?
What future for Gazza and, dare it go unsaid, Jizza..?
