The good thing is that if Madrid puts something like 5 or 6 past them, it might break their morale and throw them on relegation form

I don't expect anything less than a w(h)ooping of Espanyol. They are exceptionally poor and have a tradition of rolling over Real, the cunts.

Fuck yeah. That had become an unnecessarily tough game!

Fuck.

Messi

Henry not in Barça's squad today. Iniesta on the left wing (would have preferred Pedro, but well)

And yes, it's a nice chant too.

Nicked for me phone and audio is now my text & email alert and also my wake up alarm Such a weird perspective, with the other stands so much lower than yours!

The two games I saw in the ACN Nigeria were fantastically poor. No organization, no team play whatsoever, just running and kicking the ball around too see what happens. Not sure if you have time to fix this so late in the game, however.

At club level they are pretty important: the captains (captain, vice and second vice) represent the squad and deal with the manager and board regarding a bunch of off-the-field matters: trophy bonuses, off-days, internal discipline, etc... There's probably not as much need for that at international level, though.

I saw Rubin Kazan players wearing 70s and 80s when we played them in the CL Fortunately in La Liga squad numbers over 24 are not allowed for first team squads (can be worn by U21 players from your B squads and youth teams)

The way numbers are distributed nowadays makes squads a bit wonky. For example, Barça's DM or deep-lying playmaker had always worn #4 (Pep or Koeman, for example). Nowadays is carried by Márquez. He's no longer first choice or even plays there but he retains his number because of being the more veteran player, as he used to be our first choice DM 4 years ago. So Sergio Busquets has to carry 16 and Touré 24. Piqué is wearing 3, which is a full back number, because it was fred by Sylvinho and even though Piqué is first choice, he would be forced to wear a 11+ number as all other low numbers have been picked by more veteran players that have the right to retain them. Plus Xavi likes to wear #6, which screws all the defense/midfield numbering

Bent seems to be in a bit of a dry spell, too. But I still don't see them to going down. Still, far worse season than what they were expecting.

Somehow this made me laugh http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/10/02/05/SOCCER_Hull_2nd_Nightlead.html Fagan is such a cunt :lol:

That is too much of a cool name for that shitty celebration.

Does that mean Steven Gerrard is just one "accident" away from getting England's captaincy?

Good work so far, it seems. Plus if you win this game it definitely puts Cardiff out of the fight for automatic promotion, which is pretty good.

I think it was more damning when he was reportedly caught cashing in the captaincy renting out his Wembley box and the like.

My neighborhood has only produced one international footballer in all its history anyhow (Luís García of Liverpool fame) Does anybody know if there's been Faroe Island players playing at a decent level? (I assume a few will have played in Scandinavian leagues at least)

I could be a full international for the Faroe Islands. No you couldn't. Ok, I would need a fake passport. As well as some Footballing ability. Faroe Islands is less populated than the neighborhood I grew in, and I probably was the best goalie in my neighborhood (my team won the local championship twice). Not an exageration of my footballing qualities, it's just a very small pond. But hope he turns out to be the one-in-a-million talent that place produces.

Funny how we speak in past tense of a player that's still 27. He's an outcast at Valencia, though (I think he's on loan now).

To be honest the way it's presented in our press sounds like it's a sweetener for the Cesc deal: "Look, we buy Cesc but we'll also do you a favour and take Eboué off your hands".
