Village Idiot

My father in law (Milanese Inter fan), just sent me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZNQAtjCQbL0#!

Tito to return in two weeks, too.

Still giggling like a little kid. Best game we've played since the 2010-2011 season. Remarkably, swapping Abidal for Alba, that was our starting XI for that season. The stadium almost crumbled when Villa scored the third. Perfect tale, this one will go down in our history as one of our finest.

Valencia fan friend of mine now tells me they won't be repo-ed until August, unless they find €80m-odd million by then. Which barring miracle they won't.

Valencia's shares have been transferred to Spanish bank "Bankia" after defaulting on their debt. Bankia itself went bankrupt last year and had to be nationalized. Happy times. EDIT: Apparently it hasn't technically happened yet but it's impending after court tossed out the guarantees they had to back the debt.

Chivas has to be one of the most moronic ideas of sport franchising. Sure, let's make a team for all the mexicans in LA (which is borderline racist in itself), and then name it after a club which 90% of them will hate the guts of

Not even two months after being sacked by Sevilla, Míchel wins the Greek league; now that's what I call a lucky landing

Get in mags Stoke deserve misery.

There's no way we'd pay 92m for Neymar, nor we could if we wanted to. Personally think the only thing we need is another forward that can threaten and score, so teams can't afford to double team Messi so easily.

It was class to be officially considered a minority while I lived there. I was classed as "hispanic white", for what is worth. It was a bit weird, certainly I consider myself a run of the mill white caucasian but yanks are obsessed with minorities.

People complaining after a 0-0 away draw. You pampered children, wish I had a 0-0 away result in Europe! Genuinely thought it was a good result for you after the bitch of away trip playing in Russia means.

I was like two days in Seattle and thought that place was pure douché; seems I wasn't wrong

I love this lad, so different to what you see in the US NT. I even signed him in my MLS FM2013 save, hope he's good there too

They have noticed the lack of Modric, imho, Bale's form has just masked it. Their attacking play just doesn't seem as varied, although they have a different manager too.

Thing is that Spurs are more at risk of losing Bale that ManU at risk of losing RvP or City losing Touré, for example.

On a related note, when a team starts a counter and somehow, thirty seconds later one of its defenders is giving a backpass to the keeper.

I still cling to the false hope that FFP will actually have teeth.

Goal bonus: 1 piece of wood. That's legal tender in Oregon tbf.

http://www.portlandtimbers.com/supporters/timber-joey Yeah, I lived a train hop away from the Bull Arena and for the life of me I couldn't get attached to that "team". They're just so awful from top to bottom. The MLS is getting better though. One of the weirdest things are the shitty salaries players get, as opposed to the monster packages they get over here, makes teams more relatable somehow.

What a farce, I suppose the main club season will get a winter break to make up for the WC?

That's one less player that can remotely play in the wing for City.

Any team news by now? Not yet, expecting heavy rotation from both sides.

Media coverage for the Clásico started at 2pm (local time), which makes it longer than the actual game

Surely would have happened by now. His response to being released by a Premier League club is to say he's happy. Says it all. To be frank he's probably been paid up and doesn't realize the fact he'll never see that much money again unless he tries to rob it.

What a mentalist.
