Steven Gerrard beats Angelina Jolie 5-4 in extra time, thanks to a sneaky one in the Telegraph's top lefthand corner. The flags are out not to celebrate the Queen's 62nd year on the throne, but in anticipation of England's 60th game in the World Cup finals tonight. The birthday honours list used to be a shoo-in splash for a mid-June Saturday, but even with two good stories in Stephen Sutton and Angelina Jolie (who has reached 11 on the 10-point Mail Outrage Scale), only the Mirror and i are tempted. The Iraq crisis holds sway with the heavies and the World Cup with the Sun and Star. The Sun looks rather good, apart from the incongruous inclusion of a Kerry Katona diet update. An antidote to football for the ladies, we assume. How patronising. Times ploughs its own peculiar furrow with overcrowded prisons, while the Express sticks with what it does best - telling us that it might be hot in summer.

Oh for heaven's sake, get a grip and stop short-changing the reader. A garage door fell on Harrison Ford and he bruised, sprained or maybe even broke his ankle. He wasn't "crushed"; it wasn't a horror and even less a tragedy. Nigel Farage broke the rules over £200,000 of election spending (dash official). Great story. So why over-egg it with 'faces jail threat'. The regulator has found he did what he was accused of doing. This may lead to him being charged, which may lead to him being convicted, which may lead to him being fined or imprisoned.  Who wants to bet that he will or won't go to jail? Ukraine, Iraq and Syria are in a bad way, so it's wicked that Cameron and Hague were schmoozing with celebs - one of whom is trying to get the world to deal with rape as a weapon of war. Does the Mail really think that if they hadn't been with the "in" set that the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary would have been solving he world's problems? Do get real. They are entitled to down time and we are impotent without the Americans in all three countries. Finally, that survey in the Express about red meat is remarkably similar - but not the same - as one that made splashes all over the place two years ago. This is what SubScribe had to say then. Happy Friday.

The Express finds itself in company today with its statins splash - its fifth of the year (the others were all along the lines of "Proof statins save your life"). The Guardian is on the trail of the slavery behind our frozen prawns and the big stores' failure to control their supply chains. Sounds like a new twist on the cheap clothing industry. The Independent seems to be publishing a picture of a giant car par on its front, but this is the traffic jam of people trying to escape the area around Mosul in Iraq, which has been captured by Islamic militants. A further reminder that the allied adventure in that country a decade ago brought neither peace nor stability. Angelina Jolie captivates editors, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary and energy prices are still too high, even though costs are falling.

There is an air of irony about the front pages today, with the decree that all schools must promote British values, accompanied by photographs of Rik Mayall, a comedian whose career was built on lampooning the worst of British characters from snotty student to sleazy politician. Even more irony in the Independent's splash heading with its League of Gentlemen echoes. The Telegraph and Times add extreme motorway fines and obesity to the mix. As to the Express, you couldn't make it up. Does no one look at how stories sit together? Even the BB babe-obsessed Star has the schools story on the front. In fact, it's the best front of the day, spoilt only by the 'cops called' line at the top of the splash head, which wrongly suggests something suspicious.

The World Cup has laid its claim to a front page slot and is unlikely to be shifted for a month. We have the England players arriving in Brazil, the fallout from the Sunday Times Qatar blockbuster and, now, the Amazonian tribe that will apparently be supporting our boys. Looks as though the tournament is going to be one giant stag party: no wags and an almost exclusively male Press contingent. The Guardian's Hadley Freeman is so far the only woman from the nationals confirmed as being on her way to Brazil. It almost makes the FA look enlightened. David Cameron must meanwhile be laughing himself silly over the Trojan horse that has allowed him to look imperious and his two biggest rivals look incompetent.

front pages 08-06-2014
After last week's sensational and perfectly timed scoop, the paper we want to see first is the Sunday Times. It doesn't disappoint with another splash and six inside pages on the Qatar World Cup bid and Sepp Blatter's determination to stay in position. For most of the rest it's the usual mix of politics - with the Gove-May spat becoming ever more interesting, showbusiness and football.
And then there's the Independent. To be frank, the front page is a mess with that decapitated soldier with the World Cup for a head and the black strip alongside with the too-small-to-read-from-a-distance white type. But when you do read the words - about the use of rape as a weapon of war in the Congo - my goodness, it's powerful stuff that makes you shudder. The Observer ventures into similar territory with its equally shocking story of the children born as a result of rape in the Rwandan conflict two decades ago. After two days of celebrating the heroes of another war, this is a sobering reminder that peace is still a dream for too many.
