Cesc Fabregas: Monaco and ex-Chelsea star shares hilarious bet with Willy Caballero

Cesc Fabregas and Willy Caballero at Stamford BridgeA man of his word or a bit of a sore loser?
Cesc Fabregas has revealed he bought Willy Caballero a Range Rover when they played together at Chelsea... but it wasn't quite the new car the Argentine goalkeeper was hoping for.
The Spanish World Cup winner, a man rarely afraid to step up to the penalty spot, said he would practice penalties after training and would often have "little bets" with goalkeepers to "put a bit of spice into the challenge".
Having scored 15 penalties in his career, it's understandable he became "too confident" when he challenged Caballero, promising his team-mate a Ranger Rover if he saved his penalty.
And sure enough, Caballero, who is also known for having a decent penalty record between the sticks, stepped up and made the save.
Fabregas not only had to fork out for the car, but he was left feeling like "the most stupid guy on earth".
However, the initial bet didn't state that the Range Rover had to be new... so Fabregas presented Caballero with a battered old Range Rover that he'd found in a scrap yard for only £950 - complete with cracked windscreen.
A video shared by Fabregas shows the moment Caballero is presented the car in front of his Chelsea team-mates including Pedro and Marcos Alonso.
"The lesson of the story is: Don't bet at all at any cost," Fabregas concluded.
Thankfully, the Chelsea keeper took the joke in good taste, replying to the post saying "this is absolutely true. this man has a word and does what he promises. I miss you Cesc Fabregas".
The Spanish midfielder left the London side at the end of last season to join Ligue 1's Monaco, but he has not been shy in reminiscing about his time at Chelsea on social media.
In recent weeks he has shared fan videos from his time at Chelsea, wished the club a happy birthday and retweeted Kepa Arrizabalaga's tweet celebrating the win against Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
