According to an RCD Espanyol board member, Nakamura is "not interested" in a move to Boro. EDIT: Actually, the player's also quoted saying that he wants to stay.

It just reminds me of when I was a kid and I would play with that older kid that was so much better than anybody else. We would just give the ball to him and he would dribble around everybody. But then if he didn't show up at the pitch that day, everybody would just be forced to try harder as a team.

Wasted talent, Guti. Guy obviously is great but he's 33 and has never been able to establish himself either for Real or for Spain. Not only his fault (has seen people way worse than him lining up for Madrid week after week), but a better work ethic wouldn't have hurt.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's the first time since the early 2000s in a league game. The signings of Alonso, Albiol and Arbeloa have balanced the foreigner ratio for them, since they are all first teamers.

Interesting how Real seems to play much more as a team the days Cristiano has been out (and no, I'm not saying they should drop him ). The away win at Valencia, for example, is probably their best this season.

Blimey, what an incredible statistic that is, for Madrid's standards. No wonder I kept getting beat there on CM 03/04. Yeah, it's pretty amazing that given some of the squads Real has had over these years none of them has ever snatched a win from that place. The commenter just said that the last time they won there Raúl was still an Atlético de Madrid youth player, figures. Still, even with the injuries Madrid are vastly superior to Deportivo on paper (who nonetheless are having a great season). We'll see.

0-1, we should have really scored more than that. Anyway, a win's a win and let's see if Madrid drops points at Riazor (they haven't won there since 1992).

Barclays Premier League.

So many missed chances, I'm going to get royally pissed if Sporting sneak a late equaliser somehow. EDIT: And now they clear one over the line, fuck.

Wigan is an ideal destination for him. Established BPL club, but he's going to be able to play a lot. Plus they are a good shopping window club, they have sold lots of players over the years to top half clubs.

Holy crap, apparently we took away fans at El Molinón and I'm actually hearing them sing

And Pedro bags the first Guy's really a good finisher.

Pedro starting over Henry for Barcelona. Let's see how that goes.

You're mean to me.

Meh, I'm going to switch to the Barça game with your permission.

You know I'm starting to sympathize with you lot, but really this is

Hell, seems this Espn360 stream is like 10 minutes behind the action, meh.

That Berner guy can't possibly finish the game.

That wasn't a sitter... not easy to direct a header in that position. Looks like Van Aanholt likes fancy moves, should stick to basic stuff.

Seems you're playing rugby with all the punt-and-run.

Fantastic, you are again in Espn360

I'm pretty sure there was an online comic where Chelsea were duping Mark Hughes selling him the tranny instead of John Terry. I wish I could find it!
