Good enough. Put him in a plane and tell him he's man-marking Zlatan Ibrahimovic next week.

Gonna go cry on my Kluivert shirt. You meanies.

He had the choice of Newcastle. Fair enough have ambition but try and be a little bit realistic. Nee joking. 10 years ago... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deloitte_Football_Money_League#2002.E2.80.9303 No Barça.

The lure of Cabaye would of been too much to turn down even if you had come in for him I genuinely think that your whole recruiting policy is using the "recommend me a player to sign" on feature on Cabaye.

Wonder why couldn't we just have bought somebody like MYM, mind. Bah, I complain about the same thing every season and the staff ends up buying more midfielders.

Piqué only fit senior CB. Amazing. Brought it upon ourselves, mind.

They changed his training, food... even retrained his way of stepping... he has a lower center of gravity than when he started, for example. It did wonders for his injuries.

He had lots before 2008.

Hamstring. "Doesn't look too serious", but to be scanned tomorrow.

What a weirdass game. We should be beating this lot at home if god damn injuries aren't too bad. Mascherano's lookedugly though, and that means wee Bartra starting.

Spanish telly says he can't go. Fuck.

Why do Bayern have signed Pep again? They seem pretty damn fine as it is.

Apparently Beckham played in Xavi's European debut... 15 years ago. We're a bit rattled so far.

Wha--? Granted he'll score a FK or something now.

We were shitter two months ago actually. Our best form was around November-early January. We'll see what kind of effect Tito's return has, all that proxy manager shit did the team no good. I'm mostly worried about the patchwork defence. PSG aren't really a team, but any of those names can make something happen.

All the rats jumped ship pretty quickly when you went down.

QPR should be fine, imho. Their bloated spending/signing ways have gone for a relatively short time, unlike Portsmouth. If they get relegated it will actually be easier to get rid of all those overpaid neverbeens.

"Sunderland hire violent political extremist as manager". Some of the media over here are taking the piss a bit now They are all over Miliband quitting, given he was Foreign Secretary and thus a known face of the British government over here.

Poche fell out with half the dressing room too. The same players are doing well under Aguirre, even though the football is dour. Does he use a trecuartista at Sothon?

First time I remember Sunderland grabbing headlines in the Spanish press. And no, not in a good way.

Those Franco comments they are going to rewrite history so they can like the cunt they have appointed, aren't they? Happy times for you lot, pisstakes should know no end.

Aye, they certainly don't want to announce it on April Fool's, surely?

Your country bled for it too, even if it was a bit longer ago.

He just promoted a League 2 side. To me, it stinks of "getting a guy with a big name and an authoritarian streak to put the players in line" type move.

I knew somebody would bite
