Hmm, are you sure about that? Ramsey and Song/Diaby in centre mid? Hopefully Wenger uses the funds from any Fabregas deal (presuming he'll be given most if not all) to finally get those key positions sorted out. You got high hopes for Chamakh? Should be a good signing. I like the look of your forward line; if only Eduardo could recapture his from from a couple of years ago.

On a free? Get him signed up.

I'd be surprised if this news was true, not so much that he wants to leave, but that Barca want him now. As has been mentioned, it's hard to see how Iniesta, Xavi and Fabregas will fit into the midfield. I'm not sure getting Fabregas and Villa in the same window would be the best move for Barca, albeit it would be a joy to watch at times. Can't see Ibra lasting there long.

He was going to go but then realised there'd be no other Bosnians there so he knocked it on the head. Tried to get in with the Serbs but they were having none of it. Poor Edin.

About that, it took Kalmar six (6!) seconds to score the winning goal, the fastest goal ever in Sweden. And even more impressive/weird is that Helsingborg took the kick off! Worth checking out at youtube, search for Kalmar - Helsingborg 1-0 and you'll find it I'd rather not, the twats. Top of the league, unbeaten, against 10 men, fuck off man. Not you. I'll begrudgingly check the goal out later.

Didn't he do quite well last season?

Why do that when you can annoy way more people having it 2 years running? True, but on the other hand, it's a great time for African football to stand up and be counted, with a World Cup and 2 Cup of Nations within a year and a bit.

The others being Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and... Didn't Sivasspor come close last year? Trabzonspor?

With respect to Arsenal, I imagine Fabregas will want to start playing in a team that will win things, as he's certainly deserving of a place in such a team.

I like Flash Score.

Late Valencia goal.

Just silly.

Bojan thinking he's Messi there for a second.

Ohh! Gotcha.

Strange, I thought Messi was a good few goals clear.

3-0.

Go on Xerez!

Silence!

I know. VI do you reckon you'll be desperate to get a few more goals to win it in style or just content to play a training match for the 2nd half?

Yeah, I can remember it. I think it went something like, when Barca won the league Chelsea did, and likewise for Real and Man Utd.

Madrid 1-1, not that it matters.

Think I'll leave bet365 alone for a few days and play with the full £9 left in my Skybet account and see where it gets me. If the answer's nowhere then I'll be leaving that account alone until the World Cup.

Apparently not, bloody hell man.

Well that's that.

Helsingborgs man, 10 wins 2 draws out of 12 games, surely you can muster a solitary goal against 10 men Kalmar?
