Village Idiot

That story probably is utter bollocks. Moratti knows better than that.

Spanish media reporting that Galliani is flying to Barcelona to sign one of the most promising youngsters playing for the local team. The shit one, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%ADdac_Vil%C3%A0

"Inter to bid for Bale"? not even an actual transfer?

Still a coup for them. Wonder why other clubs weren't in for him (Atlético were rumoured)

Called up to the Dutch squad again.

Carroll from...

Adebayor on loan to Real Madrid?

Agüero to Chelsea?

SAF retiring at the end of season? Has to happen some day.

Sevilla to buy Rakitic for €1,5m, apparently flying tonight to Sevilla.

If it's true, of course.

Neville to Spurs in a cash+player deal, blue Liverpool must be laughing

Did we ever play you in the 60s? Would be surprised if we didn't given our respective Fairs Cup campaigns.

We played against a Warsaw XI (mostly Legia) when we opened up the Camp Nou. We bribed them so they let us win. Our president was terrified that if we lost the opening game it would jinx the ground.

Nice bit of fate: Atlético will celebrate 100 years of wearing the red-and-white shirt when they play against their former parent club - with whom they share colors - Athletic de Bilbao. Atlético adopted these shirts after seeing Bilbao wearing them in a friendly between both sides in January 1910.

According to "As" Atlético have set a €20m asking price for Godín. Chelsea offered €17m.

No. IIRC there are no seeds in the Spanish Cup, but they have tinkered the competition format so much these past years that I won't say it for sure.

Just realized that the Cup final is played 3 days after the Bernabéu Clásico, so we'll most probably have two Barça - Real Madrid games in a row

Won't be as easy as people think. Arsenal are a good team and currently in very good form. Our best bet is Squillaci starting and doing his pants-shitting routine every time he faces Messi.

Hell on earth, man. I really need this win. How much?

Man, first Messi and now Xavi limping. We can be winning 4-0 but this game is still killing my nerves.

Zigic used to boss it at Racing. So strange. Guess he's given up. He's never been a target man though, despite the appearance.

I just don't want to jinx it!

Wonder how hard it would be to get tickets for the cup final. Probably a lottery system like the CL. Would love to go if we qualify.
