'Sven was generous and very affectionate in bed'

Who says romance is dead? Michael Weinstein finds that Ulrika wasn't the only one to feel the love vibe, but some chose to be nasty rather than nice

Love . . .

As I turned to open the fridge in search of help and security, I felt his hand on my neck as he turned me around and kissed me. To say that I was taken aback would be an understatement. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised and excited by his boldness. I reciprocated without needing to think about it . .

. but I was not yet ready to make love.

Ulrika calls Sven's tactics into question

When we went to bed Svennis - his nickname - was generous with his affection and extremely tactile.

There was no sense of hesitation about him, just a calm, gentle loving.

Svennis gets it right this time

Michelle (Smith, Ulrika's nanny) told me that Sven is quite short and wears these thick-soled shoes to make him look taller. She knew when he was in bed with Ulrika because he took his shoes off before he went in and left them on the landing to let Michelle know he was in there.

Tony Azzopardi, boyfriend of the nanny who brought Sven and Ulrika to the nation's attention, reveals Sven's a good sole

He was only helping with our kitchen.

Ulrika's son, Cameron, aged 7, puts it all into perspective

Everybody thinks they have the prettiest wife at home.

Arsene Wenger slaps down Sir Alex Ferguson after the Manchester United boss claims his side are the best

A football team is like a beautiful woman. If you do not tell her so, she forgets she is beautiful.

Wenger's on a run

Some do it by smoking hash, others by making love or racing a rally car. We managers experience extremes all the time. You can find yourself at the highest point or the lowest in the same week.

Wenger's addicted to lurve - and football

Coming from behind makes for an exciting life, doesn't it?

Septuagenarian Sir Bobby Robson joins the debate

Apart from my marriage and the birth of my children, without doubt this is the proudest moment of my life.

Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance's thoughts turn straight to his family

These people have tried to hold me in bondage for so long with their lies.

They try to corrupt my friends and my family through jealousy and bitterness. But no more are they going to hold me in bondage.

There are so many people who think they know me, but they don't. They have become judge, jury and executioner without any evidence at all.

Don't mention relationships to Sol Campbell, who's had enough of the gay slurs

Hate . . .

Bitch, come over here and see what you can do with this.

Mike Tyson screams at photographer Lisa Carpenter following his press conference brawl with Lennox Lewis

Come over here and say that to me, white boy. You ain't man enough to live in my world. I am the ultimate. You are scared of me, little man.

A reporter gets the Tyson treatment

You've got to remember - this man wants to eat my children.

Lennox Lewis worries he might, too

He should have died that night, his two guys putting their hands on me like that. But I wasn't with the right crew. I was with people who just wanted to be seen on television. If I had been with the right crew those guys would have been finished, right there.

Tyson's in need of treatment

I'm not Mother Teresa and I'm not Charles Manson. Yes, I'm crazy but I'm not crazy like that. I might want to have sex in a crazy place but I don't want to kill or rape nobody or hurt nobody.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission are not convinced

Some of the words Roy Keane finally used in his response to me, after six years of working closely together, have made the papers. I have never had to listen to such foulmouthed abuse from any footballer. I have never witnessed such an attack from any human being.

Mick McCarthy's right of reply to the Keane affair

Mick McCarthy was dismantled from A to Z - his personality, his play, his style, his tactics, his contribution.

Niall Quinn follows suit

You're a f***ing w****r. I didn't rate you as a player, I don't rate you as a manager and I don't rate you as a person.

You can stick your World Cup up your a**e. I've got no respect for you.

Keane's a big fan of the asterix

A miser. A miser. That's all he spoke about.

Money.

Keano turns on McCarthy's predecessor, Jack Charlton

Alfie (Inge Haaland) was taking the piss. I'd waited long enough. I f******g hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that, you c**t

There's no stopping Keane now the World Cup's out of the way and he's got a book to sell

Unlike people, dogs don't talk shite.

They won't betray you or let you down.

But his mutt's in the clear

He will make a brilliant manager.

Keane can do no wrong in Ferguson's eyes

We have two players concussed. Do you think we concussed ourselves?

South Africa coach Rudi Straeuli before seeing a picture of skipper Corne Krige smacking team-mate Andre Pretorius in the face as he attempted to forearm smash England's Matt Dawson

His fitness and movement are not the same. He's not the same player as the 13-times Slam champion.

He's a great player from the past.

Greg Rusedski rips into Pete Sampras after losing to the American at the US Open.

Sampras went on to win it - his 14th Grand Slam title

It's a country fair masquerading as a world championship event.

Bernie Ecclestone derides the British Grand Prix

I think I have done a good job. I went in and he (Peter Ridsdale) said I was sacked - simple as that.

He said nothing else, just that.

Nothing surprises me. I went in to clear a few things up before I went on holiday - and the chairman says I've got the sack.

David O'Leary begins his exile from the game

There will be some sceptics who say they have heard it all before but I feel I'm ready. There is more clarity in my life and I can see the way forward.

Graham Thorpe's ready for Waugh Down Under

It would be wrong to go to Australia purely for financial gain while I am finding it difficult to focus on the job.

. . . on the other hand

He (Les Ferdinand) was concussed and can't remember much about what happened.

He came over to the bench and said he wanted to carry on, so I told him he was Pele.

Glenn Hoddle with some wishful thinking for Spurs fans

My team-mate Cafu had told me that David Seaman usually moves forward preparing to take the square balls. It was a bit far, but I tried it.

Don't you just hate Ronaldinho?
