Village Idiot

Zaragoza has bid for Trezeguet, although most observers reckon there's no chance Juventus will accept the terms.

Nope, iirc. You're live on Wednesday, and Birmingham v Rochdale on Thursday. And no, I don't have a clue why. Champions league game on tonight. Sevilla Vs Braga. Sevilla looked abysmal this Saturday, hopefully they were just saving themselves for this.

New signing talk. Not sure what's shocking or surprising.

"Apostrophe Protection Society". Heh.

Uruguayan keeper has a taste for geek keeper shirts: http://www.as.com/futbol/fotogaleria/aurrecochea-meta-homenajea-comic-deseo/dasftb/20100823dasdasftb_2/Zes

All that muscle in midfield against Gerrard and Lucas is screaming "rape".

Benzema on his way then Well, he said he doesn't think Higuaín and Benzema are enough cover for the entire season and he doesn't want to play Cronaldo as striker.

Is that avatar the guy you've just signed? Yeah, Cheick Tiote. Fuck me, looks like he means business

Is that avatar the guy you've just signed?

And the De Jong/Touré/Barry magic triangle again.

Mou has said again that he needs another striker in a press conference today. Expect Madrid to make one last move.

Shearer's a dirty nazi too! http://blogs.20minutos.es/quefuede/files/shearer.jpg

Officially, maybe, but trying to get common people to pronounce stuff like Côte d'Ivoire or Österreich just won't work (and don't get me started on Asian nations). Plus for the oldest nations goes against centuries of established use.

Well, Ivorians can get as angry as they want, pretty sure they say "Anglaterre" and "Espagne" down there.

Meteoroid.

Like...... Tiote, ooooooh ooooh, Tiote, ooooooooh ooooooooooh. He comes from Cote d'Ivore, He's better than Stevie G Tiote, ooooooh ooooh, Tiote, ooooooooh ooooooooooh. Couldn't be arse rhyming them? Sorry, is it not pronounced Ivory? Nay, Ivoire = Iv-wah, French ain't it. Do English people really say "Côte d'Ivoire" instead of just "Ivory Coast"?

Sevilla have released Chevantón. Had completely forgot about him tbh. Rumor is that he's signing for Lecce.

Well, Ajax is a second helping.

So Sevilla are selling another defender to replace one they have already sold? From Valencia to Sevilla. My bad. Downgrade for them anyhow, Sevilla looking weaker than last year.

Ruano from Sevilla to Valencia, done deal. Replacement for Squillaci.

Obviously he now thinks Derby would beat Villa 9-0

Wow. Done deal or rumor?

I thought he wanted out of england? Okay, time to go back to my old sig I guess.

Catalan radio and press reporting we are in talks with Liverpool for Mascherano, and he won't play tonight against ManCity. We are offering €15m, Liverpool wants €24m.
