Pérez was a bit of a late bloomer for Tenerife. Only got promoted to their senior squad last season.

So many wasted chances... reckon we'll win it though. Celta are a good side.

f*** I've missed the start. Only going to be able to catch 30mins as I'm out for the 2nd half... We're having a bad spell at the moment. We started quite strongly and he was everywhere.

Neymar's on fire; he hasn't scored yet but he's had three great chances in merely 10 minutes of game.

I love the quote that was posted here about him "building up the basics" first before being able to do well and comparing it to assembling IKEA furniture. FFS, these wins have come on the back of players he didn't give a s*** about at the beginning of the season. He's been building squat. Your shelf came out s*** so you bought a new one and called in your neighbors to do it for you, c***.

As usual, we sold the wrong winger. Nah, you would never get close enough to the same money for Pedro. Easier to bench Pedro than Alexis for the Neymar-Messi-Suárez threesome too, I guess.

As usual, we sold the wrong winger.

Liverpool were shit, I understand they lost Suárez and they are missing Sturridge but were absolutely pitiful in the last third. Balotelli doing even worse than I thought.

I'm ok with Pardew staying as long as the goals causing it are scored by players I like.

Yay!!

This is on the Spanish telly; god, are Liverpool terrible.

Does he weigh as much as a duck?

Costa for me.

Wait, Bradley Wright-Phillips is the MLS top goalscorer?

Fantastic

I hope Pardew goes for it, to be honest, and no second string bollocks (although the players he doesn't like seem to be better than the ones he does). A trophy is a trophy. It would be a massive lift for the club, imho.

I love when this kind of inter-city rivalry stunts pop up from time to time. The company that supplies Espanyol's team bus "mistakenly" painted Barça's initials on the roof. It was then repainted on the spot when it was discovered and furious Espanyol fans took twitter by storm: http://img02.mundodeportivo.com/2014/10/29/El-autocar-del-Espanyol-antes-_54418407654_54115221154_600_396.jpg

He was stellar for them. To be frank we've played better with him in the pitch than with Iniesta. He's far more dynamic, despite not having his ability. Sadly he seems to share the Alcántara injury genes.

Isn't he about 40 by now? 39! He looks like Maradona in Liga Adelante, though, with the slower pace and acres of space he's afforded.

The whole badges system is, imho, stupid; if a club wanted to appoint a drunk illiterate stevedore to coach their first team, it's their prerogative. But if the rules are there, they are the same whether your name is Zidane or López.

He's beat Valerón for the second award, who was the favorite. So, technically, you have a player that's better than Valerón.

No, he won Liga Adelante Young Player of the Year. He's also won the best Attacking Mid one, btw

That's the equivalent of Young Player of the Year (for Liga Adelante) in Spain.

And Villa fans seemed upbeat about Lambert at the end of his first season in charge. I remember brummie being optimistic on here.

Stoichkov in the mid-90s was just that, imho. It could be loads of players with that description. From Stoichkov to Cantona to Yaya Toure. Don't be so hard on him. He's American.
