Food-Footballers-Team

Looking at the finest football things happening on the web at the moment, it’s hard to ignore the pun-tastic action over on Twitter (started by us, but if you can’t brag on your own blog, where can you do it?) Yesterday it was Musical Footballers, today it’s Food Footballers, and the picture above reveals our exclusive starting eleven. Who would come out on top in a match between the Music and Food teams? Keep your suggestions coming…

All this was started by the news that Dion Dublin had invented his own musical instrument, The Dube. We hadn’t seen it at this point, but thanks to Two Footed Tackle, we’ve now unearthed footage of The Dube: prepare to be underwhelmed.

Elsewhere, there’s been plenty of other stuff going on around the web this week. Robinho’s ‘will he, won’t he, of course he will’ move away from Manchester City has dominated the breaking news ticker on TV, and once the move was confirmed one particular fan must’ve felt more upset than any other. As Off The Post report, not only does this unlucky chap already have a useless Kaka tattoo, he now has an also worthless Robinho one. Hopefully he’ll wait a bit longer before his next visit to the tattoo parlour.

In more serious news recently, it was nice to see John Hartson working as a pundit on TV given his horrific recent health issues. This interview he’s done with The Guardian is a tremendous read, but be warned, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Going into unflinching detail regarding his cancer, you’d have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by his experiences.

If you’re after something a bit more light-hearted, then Kickette is always a good bet. As we’ve warned previously, it’s often full of half-naked footballers, but this is something Safe For Men. Two of Arsenal’s finest, wearing blankets on the bench like Scouts on their first camp, it’s an easy laugh, but a good ‘un.

Finally, this weekend there’s a big event happening in the world of football – but no one is really sure where it’s happening. As the BBC report, the Arsenal vs Man United match will be the first shown in 3D here in the UK, but the exact pubs where it’s being shown are being kept under wraps for fear of over-crowding. If anyone finds one of the pubs and goes along for the occasion, let us know how it goes. We’ve got one concern though – after a couple of pints, do we really need anything else to confuse our vision?
