People are pretty excited about him, Del Bosque has even called him up for a friendly and he's in the reserve list for the WC. Dunno if he's still "ready"; my worry is that he won't be playing much yet if he stays at Barça, but Luís Enrique might have other plans.

They had a great little side in the 1990s, they were dubbed as "the clockwork cheese" (that region is known for their manchego cheese), for their total football style.

Almost 20 years ago. They even played in the UEFA cup once. Eibar, a small but very historic Basque team has been promoted to La Liga. Depor need 1 point in the next two games. Had to check, they played in La Liga in both 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 according to Wiki? I have this feeling I've watched them play, but if it's 20 years ago then there's no way. Aye, forgot about their brief spells in the mid-2000s. Their heyday in La Liga was in the 1990s, though.

Albacete - which is pretty much owned by Iniesta - promoted to Liga Adelante.

Benítez claiming in an interview with a Spanish newspaper that Gillette and Hicks didn't know about pro/rel and thought the PL had a draft when they bought Liverpool

Jesus wept It's my fault isn't it. The fucking décima will be on me

I knew it

Atlético famously conceded in extra time in their only EC final until today. Please, beat history you Simeone cunt.

Problem is that the moments of madness/clangers seemed to increase as he aged, instead of lessening. Spurs eventually gave up and even had OAP Friedel and Cudicini in front of him...

Being shit.

Brummie?

Ameobi scored in the only live NUFC game I have ever been to. End of an era.

Who's playing Ilyn Payne? Dempsey?

Didn't UEFA limit PSG to buy a single player with a max spend of €60m? Bit fishy that it came exactly to that.

"Bad milk" is "mala leche" which means "foul mood" in Spanish, that's different. Besides that, any suggestion that you like a lot of milk, you swallow milk, etc... means you like to suck dick. TBF is the kind of insult a 12 year old would use in Spain, but maybe it's different in Uruguay.

That's why you can't have nice things.

The milk thing is a way to say you're gay. Milk -> semen Most other tweets don't make sense even to me when I try to back-translate them into Spanish

He's been plagued by injuries, but he's certainly featured a lot when fit. I regret saying that Bayern have looked their best with him on the pitch.

It's probably bullshit. Thiago would have never chosen ManU over reuniting with Guardiola at Bayern.

Thiago was always going to end up at Bayern imho.

San Lorenzo's president confirms that Ángel Correa will sign for Atlético de Madrid.

Unbelievable, a self-imposed transfer ban

I have a friend with that name - it's not too uncommon in the Canary Islands. Btw, press here says this is your first permanent signing in 18 months. That for real?
