Liverpool WAGS support charity at Christmas bash

by

It would seem that it is never too early for a Christmas party and that was proved by the host of famous faces that turned out for the charity Christmas lunch held by Carolyn Hughes PR. The event, which is now in it’s 5th and was held to raise funds for the ‘Wirral Witches’, Women in touch with Claire House, had quite a decent sprinkling of very glam looking Liverpool WAGs.

The Footie wives in attendance at the Gusto restaurant on Albert Dock where the lunch was held included Dani Lawrence, Jude Cisse, Shauna Muamba, Laura Warnock, Nicola Carragher and most famous Liverpool WAG of them all; Alex Gerrard., who looked stunning the understated style that she carries off so well, wannabe WAGs take note. Also in attendance to support the cause were celebrity designers Tony Burke and Philip Armstrong.

Peter Price popped in with his fellow pantomime star Liz Mclarnon during the lunch break from rehearsals, and he found time to lead a Christmas sing-a-long to really kick off the party. Simon Ross from Radio City was on duty as host and the entertainment included the soul sounds of Stephen Bayliss, DJ Mina and Jade Porter belted out some floor fillers that had everyone up on their feet.

Carolyn Hughes spoke of the event and said the Christmas lunch had been a huge success and had raised £3000 for the Wirral Witches and the success it enjoyed every year was mainly due to the amazing support they got from such lovely people. She added that as in previous years, once this lunch was held Christmas had officially started and she was touched that it meant so much to so many people.

Sam Allardyce speaks out over the current unrest in the Premier League

by

Sam Allardyce, the West Ham manager, believes that lifetime bans and modern technology combined are the only way to put a stop to fan unrest that continues to occur at the Barclays Premier League matches.

This week many calls have been made to put netting in areas of the grounds that allow fans to be seated close to the players. The hope is that the netting could help prevent some incidents from occurring such as Rio Ferdinand getting a cut above his eye after being hit by a coin that was tossed at him at the Manchester game from an opposing fan.

However Allardyce believes that netting will just encourage fans to get rowdier and get around it. ON the other hand he believes that lengthy bans and video footage will be a more powerful deterrent since they will teach fans that abhorrent behavior will not be accepted.

He explained that the more they utilise CCTV to weed out fans that are acting out and continue to ban fans for life the more they will reduce the chances of this type of thing occurring again. Allardyce added that you do not want to have to cage in people, but that only adds to anger on fan’s behalf.

by

The BBC is set to broadcast all of the UEFA European Women’s Championship games that take place in Sweden next July. As part of the deal, the network will have the rights to show live coverage exclusively of all three of England’s matches including both the final and the two semi-finals. The coverage will be aired on BBC Two and BBC Three.

All off the other peak time matches will also be aired on BBC Three. Four years ago when the Women’s Championship games were held in Germany Hope Powell’s team ended up suffering a 6-2 loss to Germany. They were selected to play in the July tournament due to a spectacular win over Croatia of 3-0 last September that left them eligible for the Championship.

At the Championship the women’s team will face Russia, France, and Spain during the group heats. Barbara Slater, the BBC Director, stated that they are very happy to be adding the UEFA European Women’s Championship to their strong portfolio of women’s sports that will premier on the station.

Perth Glory team owner gives up on his dream of getting Beckham to play in Oz

by

Tony Sage, the Perth Glory owner, has decided to give up on his goal of getting David Beckham to come and play for Australia after a chance meeting between the two occurred last week in London.

Sage happened to bump into Beckham during the Spice Girls inspired new stage show that premier at the O2 Arena in London. He explained that he was rebuffed by Beckham when he asked the England captain if he might be considering a move down to the south.

Sage who was a special guest of Mel B, stated that he had the chance to chat with David for a second and asked the football star if he had ever thought about coming to play for Australia. He went on to say that Beckham clearly looked him in the eye and said it was a nice idea but would be too far away from his businesses.

Beckham is in the process of scouting for a new club after he decided to call it quits on his five year stint with the LA Galaxy team in America last month. After the announcement was released the Football Federation of Australia claimed that they were negotiating with his agent.

Beckhams set to head home

There is much speculation that David and Victoria Beckham are going to be returning to the United Kingdom now David has finished playing football in Los Angeles. Victoria has reportedly been spotted house hunting in London and the couple have said in the past they were keen for their children to complete their education in England.

A source close to the couple has recently commented, “They have been looking to buy a home for some time now. They have been waiting for the right property to come along but now that David has finished his contract with LA Galaxy Victoria has been hunting for a family home in earnest.

They will be hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself as they lost a lot of money when they sold their last home in Hertfordshire before they made the move to LA. They bought the house back in 1999 and reportedly paid £2.5m but then spent around £ 18m on renovations and by they time they sold it the house had swimming pools, tennis courts, a gym, a studio and a petting zoo.

Victoria has an apartment in London that she kept for when she was making flying visits to the capital for her fashion business, and whether they hang onto this prime piece of property is uncertain, although the certainly won’t need to sell it to raise funds for their new home.
