In this week’s WagSnatch roundup Ronaldo’s mum begs his son to come and play for Real Madrid, Wayne Rooney is voted the ugliest footballer (but that would not stop women from dating him), Gunners lose to Spurs and get into a tussle at the pitch, Becks brings attention to Sierra Leone and Slaven Bilic put rumors to rest once and for all – he is not in it for the money.

1. New lobbyist for Real Madrid – Ronaldo’s mum

I have heard of momma’s boys but this is taking a step too far. It seems Ronaldo’s mum is dead set on him leaving Manchester United. And she is not afraid to beg. Mrs Aviero posed to the assorted Spanish press with a mock up of Ronaldo in a Real Madrid kit begging him to leave Manchester United to go and play for her favorite club.

Now what on Earth could have possessed her to do that? I think there are 2 obvious reasons a) she had probably heard of all the orgies and prostitute rumors and thinks if he is near she might be able to put a stop to his partying ways or b) she is being paid a bundle by Real Madrid to lobby for them.

The only small snag in the plan is that Ronaldo still had 4 years left of his contract with Manchester United. Me thinks Ronaldo will not have a pleasant time in the locker room today.

2. Gunners tussle after loss against Spurs

The big story of the day is last night’s tussle between Gunners’ Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner. Arsenal lost devastating 5 – 1 to Spurs in the semi-finals of the Carling cup and obviously the tempers were high. This is Spurs first win against Arsenal in 9 years.

Bendtner was bloody and had a gash on his nose and the two were restrained by their team captain Gallas and referee Howard Webb. Arsene Wenger claims “I don’t know anything about it. Really I don’t know.” and he has to study the footage of the match to see what has actually happened. To have a go at a player of an opposite team after such a great loss is understandable (not fair-play but it could be excused as the heat of the moment thing). However even if you want to have a go at your own teammate the middle of the pitch is the last place to do it.

3. Rooney is ugly

Stuff like this makes me question the female gender. And I am a female. Wayne Rooney has been named the ugliest football player by the female readers of thepeoplesclub.com. 33% of females that took part in the survey concluded Rooney is not pleasing to the eye.

But what is even more astonishing (or not, as some males will agree) that 1/5 of the females surveyed would have no problems going out with an ugly footballer just for his money. The line between a WAG and a gold-digger has suddenly blurred.

Ladies, honestly no wonder we are being called slags.

4. Becks in Sierra Leone

Meanwhile Becks is chasing in the currency of his celebrity not by posing for more underwear ads, but by bringing attention to the one of the most impoverished areas in the world - Sierra Leone. As a Goodwill ambassador for UNICEF Becks has visited Sierra Leone and some of the hospitals and feeding centers for malnourished children. A staggering quarter of the children die before they reach the age of 5 due to malnourishment and lack of medication.

Becks said “Saving these children’s lives is a top priority for UNICEF and as an ambassador I hope I can help to draw attention to this issue across the world.”

Later on, Becks even stopped the convoy outside of Freetown and joined the locals who were playing football on the side of the road. Seems old Becks cares about more then just football.

5. Bilic is here to stay

Croatian fans can rest easily as Bilic has finally put rumors to rest – he is not leaving the spot of head coach. At the press conference held yesterday and after his visit to London to check up on De Silva, Kranjcar and Corluka Bilic has put everyone straight he is first interested in work and success of the team and money at the end. With his 40.000kn (€5.470 per month) Bilic is the lowest paid head coach in Europe. Although this constitutes about 10 average salaries, fact remains there is big money to be made in football. And some were eager to get him to UK after the Croatia – England game.

However Bilic claims he is not interested “If I was after the money, I would have accepted the first offers that came my way from (Fulham owner) Mohamed Al Fayed and others… I’ve had a terrific relationship with the HNS (Croatian Football Association) all this time and I won’t let anything spoil it. This speculation doesn’t bother me at all but it could affect the team spirit.”
