Village Idiot

Should be a drubbing, makes me glad we did our job against Valencia.

We usually have dinner at around 9pm. But football until midnight when you have to get up early to go to work it's a big ask for a lot of people, particularly since Madrid is a sprawling city and commutes can be very long.

And Malaga missing a lot of people. Should get ugly. Hoping Canales gets some minutes today btw. Whose body is in your avatar? It makes me laugh given that Canales is weak as piss and he looks so built and manly in your avatar.

I'm torn on the guy. His massive ego and drive without a doubt helped us bring this time of success, but without pulling the brakes it might have been the end of us. As a person, he is a twat though.

How do the people get home? Surely public transport is almost off at midnight? Madrid's subway works all night long, and the Bernabéu's pretty well connected. They also set extra trains/buses for game nights. It's still a bad idea with people working. 20:30 or 21:00 would be much better.

So that's why he was having a pop at Pellegrini (aside from being a t***). Is there even any bad bloody between the two? No, but papers have been sounding out the fact that Pellegrini had a better record last year than Mou's currently having, and I think he has gone berserk.

A 22:00 kickoff on a weekday is an awful, awful idea.

Atlético's fourth largest shareholder is selling his shares... through Spain's equivalent of craigslist http://www.segundamano.es/madrid/acciones-club-atletico-de-madrid-sad/a25068894/?ca=28_s&st=a&c=51 Price is "up for negotiation"

Joan Laporta and the former Barça board have been ordered by a tribunal to deposit an endorsement of €24m in the next two months, which can potentially be used to pay off part of Barça's debt. Decision is not final. (In Spanish sports law, the board of a fan-owned club is mandated to answer for any increase in debt after leaving office, Laporta had managed to dodge this due to a loophole).

Mou putting out his best fit XI against Málaga. This will hurt.

Yeah, very easy to pick muscle injuries after a long layoff. They are just not ready for the exertion.

Pretty sure we told Ronaldinho about the risks of partying and alcohol, too.

I know a few Bolton fans, and they were cracking jokes about Nolan overdoing the pies long before he moved to NUFC.

Lots of big teams have injury problems and pushed back recovery times. Is Arsenal's medical team crap? Regarding Nolan, Big Sam ran a pretty science-obsessed outfit at Bolton and he was every bit as "fat" as nowadays. The man's just not a natural athlete.

Can't wait for him to lose his payslip again.

Is he a piss weak attacking midfielder with decent one touch play per chance? He's exactly that. http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2011/03/03/2377371/arsenal-chase-barcelonas-victor-vazquez-report

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

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".
