Puyol and Tevez best choices as future ambassadors if we ever start time traveling back to caveman times.

Barcas psycho defending and Pinto being a cornrow wrapped turd exposed

Only the inevitable 2nd half spanish national team fistfight to look forward to now.

Ozil's touch is like a Winning XI cheat.

Who would you rather go on a date with, Sergio Ramos or Pique? I think Pique.

Pinto is suicidal.

That Ozil shot would have been goal of the year holy shit

Higuain again, get off the field, clown.

Are you kidding me higuain

Sort it out Mourinho. Don't make me regret the next two hours more than I already will.

Wrong thread.. damnit I had both open in different tabs. howay the guinea

Sweet another El Crapico. Predicting Real Madrid will look like not bottling it for a half and then ship 4 goals.

Nice jump up for him, crazy what a simple trial can do for someone and their career Best of Luck Jason.

Got no dog in this fight but that was an embarassing way to exit

What a game

Want to see Jimmy Fallon score another screamer.

and that's bad? It can be as it could curtail negotiations before they get started if the opening bid is low enough to be considered derisory. But in general no.

I trust the thread titles on N-O for transfer accuracy more than I do any journos these days tbh. Club doesn't let them know anything, there are no scoops.

I don't know about defensive. They scored 102 league goals in 2010-11 and are on pace for 134 (67 halfway) 2011-2012. Defensive against Barca. And well beaten anyway.Yeah wrong on my part. I read the post as the disappointment being with Mourinho going defensive (a trademark) after prior seasons had seen them close the league gap ("catching up") with more positive play, instead of commentary on the individual games.

It's probably how most clubs operate tbf, not many negotiations start 'Okay, here's exactly the amount that would satisfy you, in fact have a few hundred thousand more to sweeten the deal' It was never going to be accepted but we have confirmed our interest and the player now knows. Also if they have a price in mind and we go in that low it might bring the compromise price down a bit Aye I just mean the uncharitable/cynical view that the bid is only intended to be turned down to provide the illusion of activity.
