Only ever been to see Mallorca Vs Real Madrid which seeing some of the 'Galacticos' on show was great, it wasn't exactly a massive footballing experience (15k attendance or so, mostly gloryhunting islanders in Real shirts).
Something I really want to do more aswell though, next place I visitI'm going to make sure I take in a game.
Yeah, hence 'radio wumming', like on that call they were blatently looking for a bite. But I can't understand why they do it, so I honestly think they're actually fucking stupid aswell. Such a waste of bloody airtime, do we not have broadcasting standards or something to stop this kind of tripe ever airing at all?
Smith being labled as a defensive midfielder really is ridiculous isn't it?
He does nothing of the sort, doesn't tackle effectively, doesn't screen the back four, doesn't pass well. He does sod all that a holding midfield player should do. Useless wanker.
The change between first half and second half was incredible.
Routledge, Barton, Guthrie, Vuckic >>> Lua Lua, Smith, Nolan, Inman
Basically, which all of us would expect anyway.
I know Zog was a cunt and an infuriating player to watch, but I always liked him, when he wanted to be he was a really exciting player and that goal at SoL
Plus he was SBR's last signing wasn't he? :-[
I'm trying to think of a player that would be a a good replacement for Toure. There's really none available on the market that are as good as Yaya, maybe Mascherano?
Whatever happens it seems a step down imo.
I remember him being pretty average the one game I watched. Still, as a versatile option he looks a good signing.
What is going to happen in terms of defensive midfield? Are you not going to sign a Toure replacement and rely on Keita and Busquets? I don'tr really see Keita as a defensive midfielder at all though.
Aswell, are their going to be any youngsters promoted to the first team squad? Bartra is highly rated from what I hear.
