It’s not just handbags at dawn at QPR, it’s hamburgers at lunch and ham sandwiches at dinner too.
In a literal battle of the heavyweights, Arry Redknapp – a man so unhealthy his cheeks look like a spaniel’s ears – has taken Adel Taarabt to task over his weight, claiming he’s “three stone” heavier than he should be.
Taarabt, the plus-sized Sophie Dahl of footballers, hit back by claiming he was 85kg and in good shape. Since
then it’s been an exchange of sumo-style slaps as the two squabble over size. For Redknapp, getting Taarabt into shape has become his own personal white whale.
So to speak.
