Village Idiot

He should win both, but he's running against players in teams that had a more successful season. Valerón didn't actually have a great year (he's 39!) but he's, well, Valerón.

74, half of them from Captain Agüero so it hasn't been that great...

Who's on my bench and won't get subbed on? Wisdom, who's just got an assist. I hope to god he concedes 4 own goals.

Speaking of Vialli, how come he never had a longer managing career? I know his next spell at Watford was a bit ugly, but he was successful at Chelsea.

Adam is like a kicker in yank football, except that he's forced to play the 90 mins.

2-0 for Depor now; Valencia sinking unexpectedly.

Spain joins the OG feast and Gayà scores one for Deportivo against Valencia.

To be honest, though, up until the early 2000s only up to two teams per country qualified for the CL.

He's now scored as many Premier league goals in his own goal as in the opposition's

How is Richard Dunne playing premiership football in 2014

It gets to a level where I start wondering what's the point? Putting up yet another Sports Direct sign amidst a sea of 200000000 SD signs is going to increase exposure?

What a mental finish to the game

All lies and slander. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/David_Michael_Bentle_16_09_2012_Rostov_on_Don_stadium_Olimp_2.jpg/320px-David_Michael_Bentle_16_09_2012_Rostov_on_Don_stadium_Olimp_2.jpg I didn't know he retired already. He's just 30!

Damn VI you've just shattered my whole thinking that Spanish Sunday league would be all tiki taka and not like ours. That sounds rough like: The f*** it is I grew up in a working class neighborhood, probably things were more silky in the northern part of Barcelona. I haven't played Sunday League in quite a few years tbf. All my friends have either too large a gut or too many children nowadays

Sunday League is a war zone yeah, there's some pitches we had to run away from without even going to the dressing room, if we had won. I fondly remember one match, where we played some half-drunk skin heads that at HT turned on their own crowd (they were losing and getting abuse from the stands) and started fighting with them

School level football is a f***ing jungle man, I had *parents* threatening to beat us if we won.

Vergini's goal has been in all our sport news casts too

Was it Argentina's home kit? Because it's not nearly the same shade of blue.

Small air show over the Calderón to commemorate the 75 anniversary of the Spanish Air Force. Atlético merged with the AF's team after the Spanish Civil War and was called "Atlético Aviación" until the late 40s.

I was a bit of a cunt, too. I always used to say something like "football ain't for girls" after a crunching tackle.

Stupid footballer hair, too: http://www.colchonero.com/media/galeria/4/6/5/4/8/n_atletico_de_madrid_jose_maria_gimenez-6708456.png

Giménez starting for Atlético against Espanyol. This is the CB that starts asking non-sequitur questions to strikers in order to throw them off their game like "do you own a car?" "Do you know why the Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela flags have the same color?"

We'll lose next weekend. We have faced some poor attacking sides so far; the only decent one (PSG) put 3 past us with relative ease.

Aye. Now throw Suárez in there

Thanks for the reverse jinx man Had to come Neymar should be subbed btw, bound to get a second yellow soon. You're on fire
