The Grab: 01.17


Was it worth it? Looking at this, I'm going to say no. Milan striker Marco Boriello tested positive for a drugs test after 2-1 defeat by Roma in November because this, er, model, gave him an STD. No word on whether Barry Bonds will now look to Boriello (or any bordello) as the fall guy whenever he comes up positive for something illegal. [The Sun]

Here's the perfect reference for the EPL geek, especially if you're amped up for this weekend's festivities. Makes me wish I could get the Euro papers delivered to my door every morning. [Times Online]

Ever find yourself wondering just how Newcastle United is able to stink it up for so long? We've got a maintenance guy that comes around every few months or so, and I can't help but feel bad for him. Not so bad that I refrain from playing that Dennis Bergkamp goal against the barcodes over and over on the TV whenever he's over, mind you, but I do feel a pang of sympathy whenever I see him glancing at the screen. Okay, Jean-Alain Boumsong and Graeme Souness aside, how can they be so bad? [Independent]

Really? Well, what are you spending all your time on? Certainly not scoring goals. [Times Online]

Jonathan Wilson tells us why the third season could be the telling one for Jose Mourinho, and why he should curse Stamford Bridge on his way out. [Guardian Sport Blog]
