LUIS SUAREZ NAMED PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Liverpool forward, Luis Suárez is grateful to his fans for naming him the 2013 Player of the Year at Monday’s William Hill Football Supporters’ Federation Awards despite the string of controversies that trailed him last season- Remember he was banned for 10 matches for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
“After so many difficult moments for me I was able to win the supporters back, and that was unbelievable when I came back to play. They helped me, and that was important for me, for my confidence, and for my family, because they are together with me in this. It’s very special for me (the award) because my hard work on the pitch is recognised. Everybody knows about my problems and my difficult year, but after that I forgot everything and have been able to get back on the pitch.” The 26-year-old stated.

PHOTO: FANS REACT AS ADEBAYOR&ASSOU EKOTTO MOCK TOTTENHAM AFTER DEFEAT
The two footballers made what seemed like a mockery of the team when they posted a picture of themselves smiling and posing, making up the number five with their fingers after they were defeated by Liverpool.
While BAE is on loan at QPR, Adebayor on the other hand played once this season. Meanwhile, Adebayor might step in as Spurs Manager.
See some reactions from fans.
(1) @tehTrunk: Hey @spursofficial can you get rid of @AssouEkotto and @E_Adebayor while you're at it please?
(2) @LoveTheShirt: If Levy could boot Adebayor and BAE along with AVB it would help matters.
(3) @MrAlexDrummond: First order of business as the new gaffer – publicly stone Adebayor and BAE – Thats how you get the fans onside. #COYS
(4) @MetalPoisoning: @talkSPORTDrive Adebayor, Ekotto always do those hand gestures in pics. Nothing to do with 5-0 at all. What a stupid thing to say @mickquinn

(8) @MattHoward123: Whoever takes over needs to sell Assou-Ekotto to QPR and physically drive Adebayor to any club that wants him. http://pic.twitter.com/Flwy3jPira

PHOTOS: CRISTIANO RONALDO UNVEILS MUSEUM
Cristiano Ronaldo has been snaking into my headlines of late.lol. The Portuguese yesterday December 15, 2013 unveiled a museum in his honour at his hometown Funchal, Portugal. Remember he unveiled his social network, Viva Ronaldo on saturday.
The well-appointed museum which is still being tagged a work in progress was primarily opened to showcase his achievements in soccer; so you find pictures of the ex Manchester United star, trophies, medals, footballs etc. A life-size waxwork of the Real Madrid player was also unveiled.
“It’s a real honour to open the CR7 Museum in my hometown Funchal. I’m very happy and excited”. The 28 year-old footballer wrote on his official twitter page.

GAME OVER FOR TOTTENHAM BOSS, ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS.
A statement from the club reads thus,
"The club can announce that agreement has been reached with head coach Andre Villas- Boas for the termination of his services. The decision was by mutual
consent and in the interests of all parties. "We wish Andre well for the future, We shall make a further announcement in due course."
Just few hours ago, AVB told whoever cared to listen or labelled him a failure he would not "resign" as he was not
a "quitter". And then came the last straw, he was summoned by Tottenham Chairman, Daniel levy yesterday. The result…..
