Team GB Olympic football preview Posted: 20 Jul 2012 07:48 AM PDT With the Olympics drawing every closer, like the impending visit of a large irritating relative, OTP poses the question: if the British media clamours so much for the national team to succeed, does the Olympic football team offer a greater chance of success? For far too long now, the tabloid media has whipped the country [...]

Justin Bieber wants to create the world’s most hated football team Posted: 20 Jul 2012 03:40 AM PDT Football fans can sort of handle Justin Bieber. There is very little crossover between Bieber fans and football fans, so he can stay very much off our radar, which is absolutely ideal. But maybe not for much longer. The woefully cheesy Canadian moron is considering setting up his own football team, and to make it [...]

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas releases his life after Chelsea summer video diary Posted: 20 Jul 2012 02:00 AM PDT With the odd snipe here and there over the summer, it’s easy to get the impression that Andre Villas-Boas hasn’t quite got over his Chelsea exit – and now we have the video evidence to prove it. Well sort of. Off The Post contributor Will Watson, who served us up a tasty FA Cup exclusive [...]

AC Milan’s Kevin Prince Boateng and Robinho do pre-season their way: a dance off Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:45 AM PDT Pre-season is supposed to be tough, right? An unpleasant experience, which mainly involves running around until you’re on the verge of throwing up. Well, at AC Milan you can take away their footballs… BUT YOU’LL NEVER TAKE THEIR RHYTHM. Kevin Prince Boateng and Robinho took some time out from whatever they were supposed to be [...]

Barcelona striker David Villa bruises keeper Jose Manuel Pinto, signs his injury Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:28 AM PDT David Villa’s long injury layoff doesn’t seem to have affected his shooting power. The Barcelona star, out of action since breaking his leg last December, has been back in training and pelting the ball at reserve keeper Jose Manuel Pinto. He might not yet have his accuracy, but he’s got the power. A shot that [...]

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson reckons Liverpool sacked Kenny Dalglish over Suarez Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:05 AM PDT Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken out on Kenny Dalglish’s departure from Liverpool – and he reckons his fellow Scot was sacked for his poor handling of the Luis Suarez racism row. Widespread public outrage of Dalglish’s dogged defence of Suarez even after he was found guilty of racially abusing United left-back Patrice [...]

Don’t fall asleep in front of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea Posted: 20 Jul 2012 12:47 AM PDT Until now David De Gea has only been making his Manchester United team-mates feel uncomfortable when they were forced to watch him underneath the high ball. But it now emerges that they should also be uncomfortable if they nod off in front of him. De Gea showed a total lack of respect for fellow Olympian [...]

Barcelona star Gerard Pique cheats on Shakira… with a killer whale Posted: 20 Jul 2012 12:27 AM PDT That’s right, Barca defender Gerard Pique has been brazenly kissing killer whales in public. The Spain international cuddled up to the amorous sea-dweller, who even slipped him the tongue. Pique’s popstar girlfriend Shakira was forced to sit and watch the outrageous public display of affection towards her man. In Pique’s defence, it doesn’t look like [...]
