Víctor Vázquez linked to Arsenal on a free, which is puzzling since he's not Arsenal level at all. Maybe they want to sign one of Cesc's BFFs to keep him there? Used to be one of our greatest prospects but injuries have destroyed his progression.

I like how it's such a select group they all fit on one page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Surinamese_immigrants_to_the_Netherlands I know it's probably racist but I can't stop laughing at this name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerezo_Fung_a_Wing

Jota

He's always been the "look average on the pitch but end up scoring loads" kinda player. His positioning and off the ball movement have always been supernatural, even if his physical and technical attributes have never been anything special. Quintessential Spanish forward, really.

Saw that a Raúl goal sent Schalke through to the German cup final. The cunt still has it.

Huge win for us. Didn't think Adriano was capable of playing well.

The body language is so spot on for all three managers

Mou being a magnificent cunt again: "The difference between Pellegrini and me is that if Madrid sacks me I won't end up at Málaga" He really doesn't need that, to be frank.

True, I noticed that in England, fortunately it hasn't penetrated Spanish yet "este club de fútbol".

Eto'o racked up the speeding and parking tickets while he was here, see he's still up to it

But have most referees not overseen a lot of Chelsea victories? I mean, they win most of their games. That's still a hell of a record though! Chelsea haven't been *that* dominant. 0 defeats and 3 conceded goals in 17 games is utterly silly.

Can't wait for tonight. I love playing Valencia. The team with the best record against us of the whole division.

Big Eck been reported as in the running for the MUFC seat in some Spanish media. Any truth in it?

Did Becchio ever make a senior appearance for us? Need to check. Always looked quite s*** in our B team to be frank. EDIT: Seems he didn't.

Defensive? Nah. My avatar has been a black square for this season so far to reflect my increasing doom with the way things are going. I've snapped out of it now, mind, so it's back to the big dogs. Hehe, just thought it was reprisal for your lesser fellow citizens giving you s*** because of the cup they just won. Ah, I get you. Nah. To be honest, it has been fine. I've encountered a couple of them today (I work in the centre of Birmingham, you need to go that close to the epicentre to have any chance of finding them) and was entirely magnanimous about it. They deserved to win. Fair play to them. We've won the league cup four times in my life time, and I'm young enough to have all my own teeth, I can put up with that. If they'd won the FA Cup, I'd probably have committed suicide by now, though. Our FA Cup avoidance for so long makes me very, very sad indeed. When Espanyol won the cup and we were through a barren spell it was quite bad to be frank. "Barcelona's #1 team" and all that, it also made them confident enough to crawl from the sewage and for a week they were everywhere. Fortunately we have managed to finish above them in the league that year (and every single year I have walked this planet). You reckon you'll finish this year well, then, brummie?

Nice avatar brummie. A bit defensive, maybe

Vidic was my FF captain, that's my FF title hopes imploding too

No. He's never been a player that covered much pitch, that's why he looks so bad when he isn't scoring. Man, for some reason I've had this impression he was some highly motivated work horse who'd run into space for hours, and chase after a ball 5 yards away. Guess I fell foul to the Scouse Propaganda Machine Well, he used to do a lot of runs into space, what I mean is that he doesn't really track back or get involved in the buildup. He has very few touches of the ball across a game. It's just that several of those used to end up with the ball on the opponent's net.

Comes with the Spanish blood

No. He's never been a player that covered much pitch, that's why he looks so bad when he isn't scoring.

Injuries, mainly. He can't train normally with that chronic groin injury and his game was greatly based around his athleticism. He is so static now it's just sad when you think how he danced through the midfield in his pomp.

Real Madrid may well win something this season (they are already in a cup final for starters) but I suspect it won't be thanks to him. He was a sad shadow of his former self the other day in La Coruña. Personally I can't see who'd want to take him without a wage cut, don't forget he's one of the highest paid footballers in the world.
