Village Idiot

He's the ginger Scholes.

I remember Taylor having a really sweet foot for set pieces, pity you can't do like in gridiron and sub him in just to take kicks. I'm not sure if he'll be able to walk after fucking up his ligaments twice.

The Christmas La Liga break annoys me to no end, since it also means several midweek games during the rest of the season that I'm more likely to miss.

Can't post it here, but just saw some nifty little footage of Zlatan coming out to talk with Busquets after the game, and Rakitic rushing in to get introduced to him

Watching the highlights of Juve - Atlético, and they deserve the "lowlights" moniker.

It's a ludigreus joke.

Will still end up bottom of their group with 0 points, but yeah...

Damn, Ludogorets almost got one.

Alves revealed to a Brazilian paper that he'll be playing in England after his contract with Barça finishes at the end of this season. He's terrible as leftback, in case you're wondering.

That's what I meant actually, but somehow I got a bout of insurmountable laziness and typed just "2008" instead

To be honest Tévez comes across as a self-entitled cunt in this article.

To be honest he was pants to begin with. Would have gone nowhere if he weren't Rio's bro.

Aye, Aarons is quite impressive too. Get a non-coward manager in and you could enjoy two exciting prospects, despite losing HBA.

I saw him score a few quality goals in Liga Adelante. Honestly, the lad's got a great technique.

Yaya had some pretty good performances for us in the run to our treble, in the 2008 CL final for starters.

Human sacrifice! Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!

After this, HBA, Tévez, Mascherano... I'm starting to be convinced that Pardew wouldn't recognize a good player if Ronaldo and Messi showed up at his doorstep and beat him up with a metal baseball bat.

"Alan Pardew blames mass hysteria for affecting Newcastle" You know, I thought it was a shop, but no, it's an actual quote.

Wait? Athletic lost against BATE? How is that even possible?

Is that for real or a shop? That's utterly ill-mannered for an official twitter account.

Never thought I would bump this in October but... There's talk in our media that Valdés is heading to Liverpool this month for fitness and medical tests.

Ah well, this was sucky, despite the late reaction. Worried about our midfield losing so many balls to set up the PSG counters, doesn't bode well for when we play other big teams.

Munir hits the post. Damn!

Cabaye coming on.
