It's one of the daftest! It doesn't make any sense, do these papers have editors or is just a free for all for stupid headlines? At least here with 'freddie starr ate my hamster', there's no room for confusion. So many headlines are like that or say stupid flowery poetic things or one of my favourites are when they write something like "World, here is Kaka" - it's embarassing just reading it! I don't know how someone could write it without feeling like a goose!

Didn't you say it was in Italian? Maybe it rhymes, or there's some kind of funny double entendre about it?

Wolfsburg cry out for Miccoli

You have a point. If it was in Italian, may be a direct translation could distort the words sequence. Still, most of those headlines are stupid really.Though I must confess they appear poetic and catchy.

Maybe, I suppose, you'd hope so. I read these headlines and they're so flowery it looks like the equivalent of Byron writing the headlines for the Sun here - "behold, shock, there in a meadow, softly lies a soapstar and a donkey"

Rosella remains Sensi-ble. Before reading the story, you'd think Rosella had done something out of the ordinary

Gladiators ready!

I actually like that one though.

Haha, yeah same.

"Rrrrrrrrrrroma! You wil gooor on mah first whistle!"

Nelli the Elephant.

From the front cover of The Sun yesterday -

'Dew dropped.

something about kaka being the real deal...again

Why can't Kaka have a really bad few games, the rest of the Milan team are!

I'd like to see a "what a load of Kaka"

I'd like it to be 'Christmas Kaka' because it might mean we had won a bloody game.

If they use that i think you shoukd demand money...although like you said milan would actually have to win for that to happen.

Nedved may czech out was used today.

Doesn't Nedved play the retirement threat card every quarter?

BECKHAM SNUBS INTER

He's not the brightest spark, but I doubt he chose LA Galaxy over Inter cos he thought they were a better team. AND Inter said they didnt want him. So yes. Channel 4's rubbish rumour mill said he was going to Inter and he didnt go, so therefore he snubbed them.

I'm all for corny headlines but the recent 'FATY FREE DIET FOR JUVE' was awful. I didn't know whether Juve were getting him or not! The headline implies not yet the story is about him close to joining the bianconeri!
