The Grab: 03.25

Didier Drogba's taken, so you'll have to do . . . .

Wow, they play video games over there too! Boise State's Ian Johnson makes man love over the phone to Didier Drogba. [SI.com]

Did you think that Steve McClaren was everyone's second choice, and that he was frothing at the mouth to take the England job? Well, you were right, and if this guy isn't smart enough to write a golden parachute into his contract, he definitely isn't smart enough to lead a bunch of overrated babies to the Euros. I think we can safely say he's probably the loneliest man in English football at the moment. [Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail]

Group B is turning out to be quite group, with four real-deal contenders. While I'm not expecting Scotland to beat Italy, it is the perfect time for them to meet the World Champions, unless they're anything like the U-21s. [Herald, Independent]

The Grab: 03.22

Phwoar!!! Cor, blimey!!!!

Some girls simply exist as arm candy for football's elite players, but other have bigger ambitions, like ex-Miss Great Britain, WAG-wannabe and now Premiership doorknob Danielle Lloyd. Perhaps she should watch a little more footy rather than flaunt her booty at the lads, considering she seems to be going down the pecking order of strikers, rather than up. First the octogenarian Teddy Sheringham, then onto West Ham and Chelsea throwaway Carlton Cole, and now Marcus Bent. At least she's smart enough to keep it in London. [The Sun]

And while we're on the topic of footballers and their floozies, the ladies at Kickette give us the four-one-one on just how Becks cheated on poor Vicki with Rebecca Loos. I have to say, despite the man-jaw, the former assistant/nanny/groupie looks decent in a bikini. [Kickette]

It's killing me that as I post this, I still haven't seen what this poor lass even looks like (thanks corporate IT). Given the amount of times this story comes up in my daily soccer research (read: killing time at the cesspool that is my office), it must be good or really, really bad. [Deadspin]

And, per usual, some YouTube goodies. [Guardian Sport Blog]
