Meant to be pretty good that kid (only just turned the game on)

Gerrin

Didn't realise Sheffield United were doing so badly. Bottom of League One.

He'll be first choice.

Did Valencia vs Depor last year, also done Barca and went to see Mallorca play Madrid circa 2005ish. All good, the atmosphere is very different in Spain though. Valencia had their ultras that were great but the general atmosphere was more relaxed and less 'stressed out' than it is over here imo. They pissed away a 3 nil lead at home to draw and if that was NUFC the atmosphere on the way out would be toxic, but they hardly seemed too bothered. Also did Montpellier vs PSG and Marseille vs Evian last month, both of which were great. Marseille's fans are brilliant and their stadium will be phenomenal when its done. Hoping to go and see Dortmund and Ajax play some time this season for a weekend with some mates.

Can't believe how bad Leeds were. They looked very limited for a decent Championship side.

It's Poyet

Why would they want somebody just because they speak Italian? They've only got 3 Italian players and 2 of them speak English.

Easy mistake tbf, he's barely played for them. Kinda slipped under the radar that one.

Well thats pleasant

Scored a last minute equaliser for Norwich

Quaresma had a lot of talent, just had 0 motivation once he had provided enough money for his mother and family.

Tbh he has less issues than the many at SJP singing his fucking name.

Atletico result has come in, so thats Hooper cost me 60 quid the fucking cock.

Busquets, Mendieta and Veron... weren't they all more or less some of the best in their positions in Europe? I don't think they can be unfashionable really, even if the former is a cunt and the latter didn't come off in England/career tailed off in Mendieta's case.

Barca's 94 dream team would arguably be an even better shout: Guardiola Laudrup Stoichkov Koeman Sergi Bakero Sacristian Oscar Junyent all went into it full time, plus Romario, Nadal, Ferrer had brief 1 season spells and also Begiristain has had those DoF roles

Barca 2000/2001: Guardiola Luis Enrique Phillip Cocu Frank de Boer edit: researching it now and you can add Sergi to that as well, in charge of Recreativo.

This thread will be a joeyt wet dream btw.

Agreed, I think he's a class act.

Wasn't he actually fat and lazy though? Unlike Berbatov who is a pretty excellent athlete.

oh and Hakin Yakin too. Both based on international tournaments.

Always loved Jan Koller

It should be lambasted that we've gone from having Shearer, Sheringham, Cole, Ferdinand, Wright etc to pick from in international squads to the likes of Bent and Defoe, not putting the latter on a pedistal because they're some kind of throwback to the 90s (because they're apparently somehow comparable as players, really?). England's striking options these days are a joke outside of Rooney.
