    Even the Guardian has been feasting on this story.

    Soccer twitter has been so much fun today - and Rebekah is having none of it :)

    Thanks, Dave, you're a real pal. At least this all blew up after the season was over.

    Edit: regular season.

    No need for the edit, really -- you're not very far wrong. :(

    It was great checking twitter this morning and seeing WAGAthy Christie comments all over the place. It was much bigger than soccer. It was as big as it gets for British tabloids... barely a blip outside of US social media for a few hours.

    Some guy on the news was saying British tabloids will pay up to 50,000 GBP for gossip stories. So there's plenty of motive for someone to do what Vardy did

    Odd DC United advertising.

    I took off work on Friday to wander through the National Zoo and then some of neighborhoods of nearby embassies. Anyway during my walk I spotted a copy of The Diplomat.

    On the back is an advertisement about hosting events at Audi Field. And, then on page 21, DC United is a sponsor of a couple of the Ambassador Insider Series. I am assuming these efforts are to either get people to book Audi Field for non-sports related gatherings and to cultivate relationships that might lease a box a the field. But, if having Wayne Rooney on the team for the past 2 years did not alert "foreigners" in the area to DC United, I don't see what effect this will have.

    Isn't it enough he is married to her..... :)

    gotta admit, the summary transcripts are a compelling read. what a crew that is over there. And Colleen was homesick for that hot mess?

    Maybe because Jamie Vardy is still busy with his season and Wayne Rooney is not?

    Right, but Leicester play Watford next which is near the court house.
    If it were my wife I'd ask for a day or two off just to show support.
    But Jamie is nowhere to be found.
    Maybe he doesnt believe her bullshit either :D

    Just out of curiosity, is there anyone who (in the reckoning of the rest of the world, and not just their own assessment) would by consensus be considered to have a life who gives even the tiniest of a shit about this story?

    WTF is wrong with people? This is the most meaningless of tabloid bullshit. Who ********ing cares?

    Sorry, Dutch, I’m with Bootsy on this one - this ‘story’ is a complete, colossal waste of everyone’s time.

    Show Spoiler
    But as long as I’m here, what’s the latest?
