FOOTBALLERS can be really weird and do have some strange habits.
The Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, who is very much an old school type, has apparently lost his rag over his players following the latest Premier League fad of cutting up their socks!

IT'S the season of goodwill but in football that doesn't always mean that there are wise men about.
Take the Aston Villa and England striker Darren Bent for example. He was unavailable to play for his team in their home game against Liverpool because of injury.

THE Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard got a bit miffed on Saturday.
Not only did he get a blow in the mouth causing him to bleed, but a nasty television cameraman had the nerve to move in for a close-up whilst the England player was receiving treatment on the touchline.
THE British have a reputation for being efficient and well-organised but don’t be fooled – we can cock it up as well as the rest of the world.
Take the idiots who run our football, for the past few years they’ve been doing their best to devalue the FA Cup, once the most prestigious knock-out tournament in the world.
MOST young boys who dream of becoming a footballer want to be a star striker, and it is easy to see why – they grab all the headlines and quite often most of the money: Struggling Premier League side Aston Villa splashed out £18million (the deal could eventually rise to £24million) for Sunderland forward Darren Bent last week.
Thoroughly enjoyed the party to celebrate winning the title at the weekend.
