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...

John Bostock: when he was six years old...


A simpler time, back when tribunals and controversial transfers to Tottenham Hotspur didn't exist. Simon Jordan still had shit hair though. Obviously...

They call him Samir Nasri. Because that's his name...


Here's Arsenal's new attacking starlet, no doubt set to take the Premier League by storm next season. So he'll be off to play in Serie A next summer then...

Jeff showed off his evening meal...


Watching Newcastle at home or drinking heavily in a toilet? It's a tough one...


A story we saw today from our friends in the north at the Evening Chronicle...

A Toon fan who sneaked a bottle of vodka into St James’s Park and was found clutching it in the toilets has been banned for three years. Gary Faill was discovered sobbing in the urinals of the stadium during the Magpies’ match against Reading in April.

Debbie Breen, prosecuting, said: "The defendant was found in the male toilets of the football ground. He was drunk, crying and clutching the remains of a bottle of vodka."


As well as being nothing short of hilarious, does anyone else think this is slightly harsh? Now, of course, we're not condoning breaking the law at football stadiums, or alcohol abuse for that matter (really?), but you can't begrudge a Newcastle fan having a little tipple to help them through the 90 minutes. Especially after Keegan's much celebrated yet largely unssuccessful return last season.

And now poor Gary is banned from going to any game in England and Wales, as well as city centres where his beloved Newcastle are playing. Even his solicitor stated that the Magpies were the “only love in life”. A sad tale indeed...

Yet the authorities are going to have a task on their hands this season if this is deemed a precedent. What about old men who bring along their hip flasks for a half-time swig of Jack? Will they be punished? Newcastle's average gate is around the 50k mark every game. If the officials plan to ban every Newcastle fan who is a little inebriated, we estimate there'll be around 35 left. And there's no missing "k" there either. So what next? Banning every obese Geordie with their top off?

Actually, that might not be a bad thing...

Big up to US Soccer on their big day...


We love those Yanks here at Catflap, we really do. Forget all that Bush nonsense, all this starting wars for oil rubbish, and as for the next president, we like them both (That's a lie, go Barack!). So to celebrate July 4th, we've decided to post this video of a man who has revolutionised 'soccer' in the US, a man who can strike a mean free kick, as he did wonderfully at a World Cup not too long ago. That's right, it's Eric Wynalda. No, that's not "Ronaldo" pronounced by Jonathan Ross, but the bloke who was simply brilliant on Championship Manager 1997. Happy Independence Day Eric...
