Former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson reactions as Chelsea's Samuel Eto'o netted in a hat-trick during The Blues' clash with The Red Devils at the Stamford Bridge yesterday. He must have been very pained to the marrow. Watching the once formidable United team go effete and losing most of their matches is quite sad. Now many are of the opinion that Fergie's presence at every United game is affecting the embattled David Moyes.

2013 BALLON D'OR AWARD: RIBERY IS STILL PAINED, SAYS RONALDO WON NOTHING. (READ HIS QUOTE)

Who hasn’t gotten over the 2013 Ballon d’Or award thing? Everyone in the world except Bayern Munich Star, Franck Ribery and he has decided not to bottle up his feelings. According to him, losing to Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo was robbery and the extension of the voting deadline a political decision.

“I won everything I could win with Bayern and individually. Ronaldo on the other hand did not win anything. I am not sad that I missed out, but it does hurt a bit. I deserved to win the Ballon d’Or. It was clear that Ronaldo would win it. The voting deadline was extended by two weeks. This had never happened before. It wasn’t about football. It was a political decision. There are only three Bayern players in [the FIFPro team of the year]. That’s madness. [Thomas] Muller 
deserves to be there, and so do [David] Alaba,[Bastian] Schweinsteiger and [Arjen] Robben. We won five titles and made history. And then there’s the absence of Borussia Dortmund players… Where are [Mario] Gotze and [Robert] Lewandowski? This is impossible”

PREGNANT WOMAN ENJOYS CHEWING URINE-SOAKED NAPPIES

Wonders certainly has no intention of ceasing. Pregnant women and their weird cravings. I know some eat charcoals, pepper etc but this particular one is so disgusting. Pregnant Keshia relishes chewing urine-soaked nappies- she says it just tastes amazing; like sour sweet. Infact, she can't wait to give birth and have her friends supply her with loads of it. So it will definitely not end during her 9-month course.

"You know when you're walking into a room and you smell a strong smell like food and you kind of taste it? That's what it's like. It has to have pee in it, the heavier ones that have more pee smell better." The Queens, New York resident explained. The 22 year-old will be featured on the show 'My Strange Addiction' soon.
