A Little Lunacy!

Arsenal beat a team of part-timers the other day. A fan then posted a picture of Arsenal’s new signing Vermaelen and the old Agent Silvestre vying for the ball with an opponent on a forum. The hilarious look on Silvestre’s face provided a perfect photochop opportunity and I duly obliged. Here’s the original picture:

And here’s what the scene looks like after the picture underwent some lazy editing:

Vermaelen (Gladiator) saves Silvestre (Damsel in distress)

Yuri Zhirkov - CSKA Moscow to Chelsea

Yuri Zhirkov – also known as the Russian Ronaldinho – has completed his move from CSKA Moscow to Chelsea today. The left-sided full-back/winger joins Chelsea fter a glowing recommendation from Guus Hiddink, the former Chelsea manager and current coach of the Russian national team.

Zhirkov would provide competition to Florent Malouda on the left flank as well as back-up to Ashley Cole at left-back. His stellar performances at Euro 2008 culminated in being nominated for the Ballon d’Or award.

Take a look at his goal against Hamburg to see what he is capable of:

So let’s hope he can show us some of these skills in a Chelsea shirt. Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Yuri!

Even before reading the headlines on news sites, it was a foregone conclusion that the scribes would have latched on to the classic L’Oreal ad punchline – ‘Because I’m Worth It’. So why should I stay back? Here’s a little something I conjured up on this topic:

Cristiano Ronaldo - He's Worth It!

All that effort I put into Photoshopping was worth it, methinks.
