A Manchester United and England footballer has apologised for his "insensitive" decision to appear as a suicide bomber at a fancy dress party.

Defender Chris Smalling wanted to make a pun on the popular Jagerbomb drink by strapping bottles of Jagermeister and Red Bull to his body.

Not the wittiest pun in the world.

How didn't you get it when the picture of him has bottles of jager and cans of red bull on it?

Although its that rag so you shouldn't expect anything else, does anyone else hate the fact they couldn't just run with the Hitzlesburger story? They had to tie it to something negative.

Your manager's been spotted at this afternoon's Cagliari vs Juve game, seems he's there to get a closer look at Davide Astori. Personally I think he's be disappoined, at one time Astori was one of those 'next big thing' talents but he's not really improved since he was 24/25 (he's 27 now) and if anything has regressed over the last couple of years.

Yeah I understand that, I just don't see him bothering to make the journey to look at a centre back we might need a bit of depth there, but I don't think its a priority position.

Well Rio's not up to much these days and isn't Vidic's agent making noises about not signing a new deal? Take those two out of the equation and your a bit short on numbers. As I said above Astori's a bit of an odd choice, he's not much of an improvement on what you've already got.

There's always a chance he was having a look at Ibarbo.
