The Steve McClaren appreciation society at their annual gathering...


Second choice Steve to take on Arsene...

Just when you thought Steve had been deservedly banished to the backwaters of European football with FC Twente, it turns out we'll be seeing him a lot sooner than we would've imagined, and hoped. His new side will be going out to Arsenal in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League, drawn today.

Robbie Keane couldn't wait to sing his new strike partner's praises at his first press conference, but who'd have thought he was that eager to team up with Fernando Torres. And don't they look sweet. Could this be the start of a beautiful relationship?

And who says they give them to anyone these days?

Look at him. Doesn't he look so smart, his parents must be so proud. For little Stevie has been given an honourary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University for his contribution to sport. But before he starts feeling too smug about his new qualification, it might be worth telling him that even full time buffoon Sepp Blatter has an Honorary Doctrate of Science from De Montfort University in Leicester, and Italian referee Pierluigi Collina is a Doctor of Sport Science at Hull University. And if those aren't the two most random facts you'll read all day then we'd love to know what is.

Anyway, because we don't often miss a chance to rehash old material, here is our somewhat overly attack-minded Catflap Honorary Degree XI from issue something or other...

Lucas Radebe

The Yank funnyman knows nothing about football.

A typical Chelsea fan then...


If you thought Will Ferrell's comedy was funny, then his taste in football teams is even funnier. Appearing on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, you know the programmee you sometimes catch yourself watching on More4, Ferrell was with fellow chuckle brother John C. Reilly to promote their new movie, Step Brothers. Which, if it's anything like their last film together, Talladega Nights, we know we'll be rushing out to see. And when we say "rushing", what we mean is we'd sooner watch a sex tape featuring David Mellor, Phil Taylor and Anne Widdicombe. With a Max Mosley cameo of course.

Anyway, bizarrely, Ferrell was wearing a Chelsea shirt on the show, though we're not quite shure why. What we do know is though, that with stonewash jeans and a damn fine beer gut, he wouldn't look too out of place on most British terraces.

Thanks to Unprofessional Foul for the screenshot. And to see some Will Ferrell stuff we do love, check out his spoof Old Spice adverts...
