Yes we’re missing football a lot and yes we’re spending far too much time on the Daily Mail Showbiz section than is possibly socially acceptable. Oh well, at least the fixtures are out on Wednesday so that’ll pass a day or two.

GIF: Baseball fan falls over, loses beer and the opposing pitcher doesn’t care
This is from last night’s MLB game between the New York Mets and the St Louis Cardinals. Adam Wainwright was pitching for the Cards when a Mets fan in the stands stumbles, falls and spills his beer. Going down with all the grace of a drunken London Mayor. Wainwright clearly hears the fall and has […]
GIF: Shirtless loon scares the hell out of Rafael Nadal
This is the moment one loon caused chaos in the French Open men’s final on Sunday. Rafael Nadal was up 4-1 in the second set when a shirtless man in a mask, armed with a flare, ran onto the court. Nadal scurried for safety before the protester was detained. But not even this fool could stop […]
GIF: Spanish magician Isco makes a Russian look daft
Somewhere in Spain there is a huge factory churning out model footballers with the aim of maintaining Spanish dominance in the world game. Isco has come straight from the factory and is flip-flapping his way through the European Under-21 Championship. The Malaga midfielder won the ‘Golden Boy’ last year, meaning he’s the best young talent […]
GIF: Father tramples son to catch a baseball
Perhaps in the recesses of his subconscious the thought flashed across his mind: “I can have other sons but I may never get the chance to catch another Grand Slam homer.” In the end he didn’t even catch the ball but the little boy, we’re presuming is his son, got himself a good trampling all […]
GIF: Boxer taunts opponent to fight and he obliges with a knock-out
Be careful of what you ask for, you might just get it. This guy sure as hell did. We doubt Miguel Zuniga was asking to be knocked out during his middleweight bout with Daquan Arnett in Florida over the weekend. Instead Zuniga was being the aggressor and feeling confident he called his opponent forward. Arnett […]
GIF trilogy: The worst goalkeeping performance you’ll see today
Believe it or not but this lad is in the top-flight. OK it is the Slovenian top-flight but still he is a professional goalkeeper. The basics of his job are catching, blocking, and generally stopping the ball going into the goal. All of which he forgets in this hilarious three-part series. Alen Pasagic is the […]
GIF: The goal that won Wigan the FA Cup (and probably got Roberto Mancini the sack)
Ben Watson will probably never have to buy another pair of trainers from JJB again. It was his header in the dying minutes of the FA Cup Final that won the cup for Wigan in the biggest upset since Wimbledon’s win in 1988. 15/2 shots Wigan beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley to win the […]
[VIDEO]: Goalkeeper knocks himself out on his own goalpost
We now know one thing about Belgian side Lokeren‘s Ivorian goalkeeper Boubacar Barry, he does not like conceding goals. Barry was so focused on ensuring the ball didn’t go in between the posts that he completely forgot or simply didn’t care that the posts were there. Also that they’re really hard and not made for […]
GIF: Juan Mata slightly upsets Manchester United’s title celebrations with late strike
It was an important win for Chelsea and a meaningless blemish on Manchester United’s home record. Juan Mata’s 87th minute strike took a vital deflection off the underside of Phil Jones’ right leg and found a home in the corner of the goal, beyond the reach of Anders Lindegaard. This was the deciding moment of […]
GIF: Floyd Mayweather proves he’s worth the money beating Robert Guerrero
You may not be the biggest fan of the overly brash, self-promoting, arrogance of Floyd Mayweather Jnr (36) but dear lord he can fight. On Saturday night in Las Vegas the multi-weight champion defended his WBC Welterweight title against fellow-American Robert Guerrero (30) for his 44th win without loss. Dominating much of the twelve rounds […]
GIF: Gareth Bale’s winner against Southampton, he’s one to keep an eye on
It seems the only thing standing between Tottenham Hotspur and their perennial end of season collapse is one MR Gareth Bale. Having the PFA Player of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers PLayer of the Year awards in his back-pocket don’t seem to have slowed him down none. As Spurs […]
Goal of the season GIF: Aston Villa might still win something this year
When your team is struggling at the bottom of the table, desperate for points, commentators, managers and pundits tend to say any goal will do. A deflected, scuffed shot from the edge of the box. A goalkeeping howler from the opposition. A 14-man goal-mouth scramble where the ball pings in off the arse of your […]
Lionel Messi edges closer to even greaterness
That’s not a spelling error in the header, before the trolls start smugly thrashing away on their keyboards. Lionel Messi scored his 79th and 80th goals of the calendar year on Tuesday, bringing him that much closer to the great Gerd Muller. The German’s record of 85 goals in one calendar year has stood since […]
GIF: Manchester United lost in the garden of Eden
Here’s an animated GIF of the ridiculously good Eden Hazard setting up Ramires who rounds Anders Lindegaard to make it 5-3 to Chelsea, before Ryan Giggs pulled one back for Manchester United in the Capital One Cup at Stamford Bridge. (It may take a second or two to load — it’s worth it). Eden Hazard. Hypnotic. […]
