AC Milan fans get the Armani ad live-show
AC Milan are certainly getting their money’s-worth out of David Beckham. Just his second match for the club and he is already performing an on-pitch striptease.

Separated at birth?
OK, it is not a lookalike as such, but OTP reader Ben C has very kindly put this together for us. I think it was maybe done on this Obama gadget, which allows you to put your (or your favourite Inzaghi brother’s) face onto the new President’s iconic Hope poster.
Ben has chosen Offsides [...]
