WICKED WHISPER 1
Which winger's wife hates his fans? Supporters are complaining she refuses to let her husband sign autographs or pose for pictures when they're out together - often becoming quite aggressive in pushing away even the youngest fans...
WICKED WHISPER 2
Which self-styled hardman has a spurned ex who can't wait to tell all about his habit of sobbing at the end of chick flicks?
WICKED WHISPER 3
Which Premier League star and dad of one has an injunction 'on permanent standby' in readiness for if/when his fling with a lapdancer is discovered?
DAFT QUOTES OF THE WEEK
"They wear their hearts on their shirts" - STEVE BULL
"In his youth, Michael Owen was literally a greyhound" - JAMIE REDKNAPP
"They're lacking that real streak of bang" - PAUL MERSON
CHANTS FOR PIES
Manchester United needed a decent chant to replace 'Viva Ronaldo' and they've found one in praise of an unlikely hero. To the tune of 'Bad, Bad Leroy Brown' it goes: "He's big, he's bad, he's Wesley Brown; The hardest man in all of town; Orange hair beware!; Come and have a go if you dare."
Luke B wins a tray of Pukka Pies for that. Now it's your turn to win. Email the funniest chant you've heard at football this week to steve.anglesey@mirror.co.uk together with your name, address and choice of potato & meat, chicken & mushroom, cheese & onion, steak & kidney or all-steak flavours.
