He's ditched the gowns, and donned Pool's Euro number...

It seems we're the unofficial Steven Gerrard fashion blog today, as adidas got in touch with us to reveal Liverpool's spanking new European kit for the new season. And who is it resplendent in green? Why Steven Gerrard of course, the man who only hours ago was wearing a lovely gown to recieve his honourary degree. What a guy.

Liverpool's new kit goes on sale Aug 14th. Visit www.adidas.com/liverpoolfc for more information or call 0870 240 4204.

Proof that Emos should stick to My Chemical Romance...

Oh, and apologies for the headline...

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...

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...

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...
