Oh yeah… when this was first planned out we knew that this is going to be a fun trip, some of the BP and TOW crew shot out to NY for the Grassroot Soccer Charity Event, some well deserved down time, a little bit of marketing and t-shirt slangin’ and all in all there definitely was a happy ending!

Ok, so there are a lot of pictures that I wanted to throw up here so I’m just dropping them on you after the jump with commentary… enjoy the ride.. (more…)

Premiership star Cesc Fabregas found himself embarrassed when he couldn’t pay for dinner because his credit cards were rejected - twice.

The Arsenal midfielder, who earns around £80,000 a week, was dining with two women (…freaking nice btw) at top Soho private club Studio Valbonne when his bill of just under £300 arrived.

An onlooker said: “He tried one card, it failed. Then another. It failed again. After much faffing he sent an aide out to get cash.”

“It’s the old story. You’re at a football match and desperate for a half-time pie and Bovril – but Osama Bin Laden’s at the front of the queue counting out a load of loose change.

Far fetched? Nothing like it. Yesterday we revealed how The Queen is a secret Arsenal fan. But the Gooners aren’t the only football club in Britain who have big name supporters.Here DEREK BROWN presents the weird, weird world of unlikely soccer superfans . . .”
