Poor old Macheda. Wagless and Watch-less. First of all his woman drops him like a hot potato and then two men bust into his crib, rob him of all his worldly possessions and rough up his mate. Yep, another footballer has fallen victim to armed robbery. This appears to be a real problem in the north west, especially with Manchester United and Liverpool players.
The robbery took place at Federico Macheda's home in Sale during the early hours of Sunday morning. The Italian striker's friend received a minor cut to his head, and there were reports of an incident in Manchester on Saturday evening that could have been connected to the crime, but police will not confirm that this is the case.
A bad week indeed. Still, Federico is a 17-year-old footballer. As you can see from the picture above, I'm sure he'll be selecting a new WAG soon and a fancy watch will make just a small dent in this week's wages.

UF Quick Throw: Vassell assailed
Christmas parties in Manchester sure are dangerous. What's more disconcerting is why they picked Darius Vassell, something Mark Hughes hasn't done in weeks. [BBC News]

Bingo or Burglary?
Most old folk fill their days with bowls, bingo and 3 hour round trips to the corner shop for a newspaper. Re-runs of Des O'Connor and that nice man Michael Parkinson. They listen to Radio 4 and take long naps. Some like to knit and some like to play domino's. Some sit around all day waiting for relatives to call and some get themselves involved in the burglaries of famous footballers.
Over the past few seasons many Liverpool players have been robbed while they travel with the Reds to play in Europe. Victims include Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Peter Crouch, Jerzy Dudek, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger. Most recently Brazilian youngster Lucas Leiva fell victim as Liverpool played away at Athletico in Madrid. Last week police conducted a number of raids and arrested 5 people in connection with the Leiva burglary. One of them was an 81 year old woman! Amongst a massive haul of footballers memorabilia, police recovered Leiva's Olympic bronze medal from Beijing this summer.
Some people just ain't ready for wandering the mall. Wonder if they play bridge in jail?
Bigus.

Man City unlucky with FA Cup, balloons, and wallets
Manchester City had a tricky tie at Sheffield United in the FA Cup 4th Round this past weekend, losing not only on the pitch but in their bank balances, too.
After a 2-1 loss to the Blades, the lads retreated to their visitor's dressing room, only to find that they'd been robbed. Although Eriksson did not refer to the incident in his post-match press conference, a visiting club official confirmed that South Yorkshire police had been called to investigate the break-in. A Sheffield United spokesman said: "We shall assist the police fully and in every way we can." Losing a game is one thing, but losing your hard-earned stirling is quite another. They should look on the bright side: at least they weren't playing at Anfield."A bad afternoon for Manchester City concluded with Sven-Goran Eriksson's players returning to their dressing rooms after yesterday's FA Cup defeat by Sheffield United to discover more than £2,000 had been stolen from wallets and clothes.
It ended a dismal day for Man City. They conceded the first goal after some terrible defending by Michael Ball, who was distracted by several blue-and-white balloons in the 6-yard-box, one of which deflected the ball into Lucas Shelton's path for the easy tap-in.
