Got money on the line?

I will say it now it was a pointless signing. Too high profile to sit comfortably on the bench and worse than Busquets given the way we play.

Getting un-boring now.

You going to the Barca game on sunday? I'm away at Valencia for work this weekend... you going? Yeap, 4 of us are going. Cool, hope you get a good game.

FFS, I just went to take a pee and missed it.

Dammit, that was easy wasn't it?

Not discussing that, my initial statement was more meant as a praise to Kazan than an indictment of other clubs. They are just the only club that we played last season and were *never* able to break them down.

Twice! Seems it's again going to be hard work breaking down these russkies...

The only team we failed to defeat last season.

Just saw this on a Barça forum, heh. Suppose some Liverpudlian was taking the stadium tour and grabbed the snap. http://estaticos03.marca.com/imagenes/2010/09/28/futbol/futbol_internacional/premier_league/1285668865_extras_portada_0.jpg

Strange, I don't see much of this RBoS thing talked around and it seems a pretty big deal.

Picturing Özil, Cronaldo and Higuaín doing this as per his previous deluded comments

It costs a fortune to get the rights to print them. How much of a fortune? Can't remember exactly, but I'm sure the price came close to at least £500 when we looked into it. Stupid amount of money just to be able to list who you're playing over the next few weeks. Aye, that's a mental amount for a fan site. Not that the entire concept of paying for a fucking schedule isn't ludicrous to begin with.

Not really. He just sat on the ball and it fired from beneath him... I know man, but look at the power and placement of the ball, it's almost like a PES glitch

Aye.

To be honest, I spent a few months in Germany, and after talking to the locals in English (my german is very very basic), the "ve" think got stuck quite quickly. Of course, I'm not a native English speaker so my accent is bound to be more malleable I guess.

Have people seen that video doing the rounds of the Brazilian dude scoring an OG with his ass? Really, I still can't figure out how he physically struck the ball to get that finish... Marca has an article on it: http://www.marca.com/blogs/fuera-de-juego/2010/09/23/video-autogol-marcado-haciendo-una.html (It's Marca so I guess I can link to a page of theirs hosting a video?)

Last season he was s***, but he just didn't want to be there, went AWOL for a bit and all. Haven't really paid attention to this one yet. They should have sold him for the alleged 8m offered when they got relegated, but their (former) owner is just nuts.

Gambled too much on promotion, keeping a lot of players on high wages. Plus the board situation and mismanagement hasn't helped one bit.

Never forget the value of extra motivation though, particularly if you have your home crowd pushing you. That always helps a poorer team bridge the gap, imho.

Betis about to file for administration, according to reports.

The LC adds to the prestige and history of a club. A trophy is the most tangible demonstration of it. Yes, there are other stuff, but there's no most basic and immediate demonstration of excellence in this sport than producing trophies. It just says that you were top dog that year, simple as that. Not Chelsea, not ManU, not Arsenal, Newcastle United won it.

Trophies rule. Being able to say that you're better than any other fucker than entered the competition is the whole point of this "sport" thing.
