FC Cologne sporting director Jorg Schmadtke unleashed his inner schoolboy this weekend when, just after Hoffenheim scored a 90th minute equalizer against Cologne, he threw gum at Hoffenheim manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Yes you read that right. Gum. Like, the thing you chew in your mouth that either makes your breath smell better or allows you to blow bubbles with it.

This wasn't just any gum. This was what we in elementary school would refer to as "ABC gum." 

Earlier this week internationally famous singing person Adele threw her support for the Premiership title behind Tottenham Hotspur.

That in and of itself is only sort of newsy, but The18 has learned that Adele's smash hit "Hello" was originally written about Spurs, and we've gotten hold of an exclusive (fake) copy of an early studio take, which we present to you here:

Adele: OK let's get started! Pip pip jiminy crumpets!

Fabian Delph's Manchester City career is in dire need of a resurrection. Fortunately for the Englishman, he's in direct contact with those that could tell him how to best go about doing that. Speaking with the Manchester City FC's YouTube channel, Delph shocked the show's presenter, and viewing audience, with a revealing answer to a fan submitted question regarding ghosts.

"What's in a name?" That was the question Juliet asked of Romeo in Shakespeare's most enduring play. Well, if you're Max Power, apparently there's a lot. 

The Wigan Athletic man refuses to have the collection of syllables and characters that tagged him at birth be an empty promise. No. Max Power by name, Max Power by profession. That's how he lives his life. 

Today we bring you Cristiano Ronaldo’s dance moves, and depending on how crazy of a fan of his you are. This is either about to get very sexy or very hilarious. Let’s just say his hips do a lot of things.

Sleaford Town FC vs. Boston was just another British lower-league game. At least that's what it appeared to be at the beginning.

Sleaford Town's Twitter account stole the show, mostly because the dude tweeting had to stop updating because he was subbed on in the second half.

Have you ever had one of those situations where you just wish the earth would open up and swallow you whole? Well, Argentine midfielder Daniel Imperiale just had one of those moments after what is probably the worst soccer miss in history. 

We will say this for Glenn Verbauwhede: he has no regard for his personal safety.

Actually, let's amend that. We will say this for Glenn Verbauwhede: he hasn't much regard for anything at all.

Verbauwhede plays keeper for Maritzburg United in the South African Premier Soccer League, and he plays it with the kind of reckless abandon and stupidity that only comes along once in a blue moon. Just watch.

So, here's the deal: supposedly, there is actually a Jamie Vardy movie in the works. No, seriously. The English striker's rise from factory worker playing non-league soccer to Premier League record-breaker has apparently perked up the ears of executives in Hollywood. The man behind the movie, Adrian Butchart, is the man behind the "Goal!" trilogy and he has reportedly started the conversation on getting a Vardy movie made. 

Imagine you are a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, and you are sitting behind a goal at which he is about to shoot a penalty. Because you are a fan, you know that penalties are his jam, there is arguably no better penalty taker in the world. So a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty should be as sure a bet as there is to see your hero succeed; you are almost guaranteed to get the classic Ronaldo jump-spin celebration. You are probably stoked. 

And then, in the case of this fan, you are really not. In this case, you get hit in the face by that Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.
