This week Argentinian actress, model and football television presenter Doris Mar takes the Hottie of The Week crown. We thought that with the European football Championships kicking off and all that it would only be right the Hottie of The Week was football related. Doris Mar is a multi talented singer, actress and television presenter from Argentina who can be found presenting the football. It would be a very strange world if Gary Linekar looked anything like her. Strange but wonderful.

The End was a legendary set of Fanzines from the 80's, it is now published in one mammoth book. It was the first terrace fanzine, the godfather of the football fanzines but still dressed in punk's cut and paste graphics. We're re-issuing them in one volume. Jesus this has taken a long time. 20 years in fact. If you’ve never seen The End now’s your chance to find out about a unique chapter in British publishing history. Long before casual was ever really recognised as a youth cult a group of Liverpudlians created a home-made fanzine capturing life on the streets of their city, the local music and political scenes, and not forgetting the terraces. It was very funny, very roughly laid out and very popular. Its greatest champion was John Peel who would regularly name check the magazine on his Radio One show and also invited the editors onto national television to discuss their cult fanzine. Hardcore  fans of The End  have been badgering the former editors t...

Today is going to be a busy day for football fans in Scotland. It's that time of year when the football season ends and for the top 6 teams their last games are today. With third spot tied up for Hearts and subsequently fourth for Dundee United, that only leaves any real importance on the games of Celtic and Rangers with both teams vying for the title. With a home fixture against Motherwell (their Scottish Cup Final opponents next week) Celtic will be looking to end the season with a win and put the pressure on Rangers to win their own game and with it the SPL title, which will be carried to whoever clinches it via the Helicopter that has become routine on Title Deciding Sundays. Of course for those people who support teams in the lower leagues your fate as a club may already be sealed (Safety/Relegation/Champions?)...unless of course your team is in the nail-biting playoffs! For those not interested in any of the football drama and for those who are, but ...

Seen alot of hype on twitter in the last 24 hours for this cheeky new Adidas advert featuring Katy Perry, B.O.B, David Beckham and loads of other recognisable celebs/musicians/sports stars. Executed with great music and stunning visuals, already this is my fave advert of the year. Fraser

Most of the guys in the shop are all big football fans, and tonight marks a big champions league match between Rangers and my boyhood team Manchester United. Pretty obvious who I want to win really? Catch the match tonight on ITV. Fraser

Bit of a sports theme going on today, first up, the amazing Madin Mohammad. French-Algerian and with a host of tricks-remind you of any headbutting, midfield genius from that part of the world? Zidane wisnae bad-this kid is six years old. Six. Honest. Mark

This was the famous pronouncement of my friend Tommy, upon reading that Dunfermline dud Stevie Crawford was paid £15k a week to miss chance after chance and consider a good season to be 7 goals in 40 games. I seem to recall Tommy's voice climbing octaves as he repeated the astonishing idea. Now, Kaka-considerably better than Stevie Crawford, we can all agree on that. Is he worth £100million and £500k a week?  Look, he can do things like this: Okay, yes, fake. But he can do this: So debate for the day-justify that amount of dosh. Market value suggests that, yes, Kaka is worth a ridiculous amount to a club. But half a million a week? Even if Man City's shirt sales go through the roof they'll never cover that. Not even scrape it.  Is it not also a total slap in the face to ordinary working folk who want to go see a game? Some Premier League games are now £80 an adult for an average seat. For a father and son to go to the game, it could be £120 in tickets, £25 travel etc. What ...

For anyone who has seen me play sport, any sport, I apologise. I really am so sorry. My sport playing days(which have notably disappeared since leaving school many moons ago) were a travesty for anyone watching. At every sport, I have exactly the same routine, pattern, style, whatever we'll call it-erratic (i.e. a stunning behind the back pass in basketball is followed a minute later with breaking my own ankles while dribbling), temperamental (a well won penalty by my team's star striker is ruined by my fifty yard sprint to square up to the defender that gave it away) and so lacking in any fitness programme that Diego Maradona at his Brando- esque weight would have questioned my cholesterol levels. In short, I am not the sporting type. However, like everyone else, I love to celebrate after, say, a great goal. Or a nice three pointer. Or that red ball going through the arch, if croquet's your bag.  Sadly, it seems sports authorities take a dim view of this. Recently, whi...
