Village Idiot

He was sacked for saying he thought Barcelona was "unbeatable" in the eve of last year's Barça-Madrid. No, I'm not making that up, that's the reason. They did way better under Juande Ramos, though.

Athletic de Bilbao get their first black footballer! http://www.marca.com/2009/12/10/futbol/europa_league/1260443664.html He's born an and bred in Bizkaia, but his parents are from Angola. He was playing in the Bilbao B feeder team, but he's now been included in the Europe League B list and he is expected to play soon in La Liga.

He's class.

Nah, not for only 3 months. Dempsey for example is doing well, but he needed time to adapt. And I think Dempsey is mentally stronger than Donovan (even if Donovan is more talented).

My yank friends already moaning that Donovan "should have gone to a top team". Best thing is that I'm sure they just looked at the EPL table and concluded Everton is some relegation fodder team, since they know f*** all about fotball that's not Manchester United or Chelsea or teams in the Champions' League.

I hope to God the 39th game never, ever happens. That was the most fucked up idea of all time.

"Top Gun!" on half the nation's new outlets the day he scores.

Just found out that Arsenal played a full back named "Tom Cruise" today. If that guy goes on to have a career he'll never see the end of it.

Relieved we won that. We were much better than what the late win suggests (they scored with their only shot on goal), but we need to pierce defences more, Kyiv hardly had the ball the whole game (74% possession to us).

Irrelevant game, wasn't it? Won't get fired for losing that.

No, he has scored others. He doesn't take freekicks regularly though.

At least I'll be able to settle once for all the argument with my yank friends that Donovan "is world class".

Just as I was arguing with a Real Madrid fan yesterday after Cronaldo's freekick

Can't believe all of a sudden Ameobi has transmuted into such a goal machine. Get in, Newcastle.

I love Zlatan, but since we lost Eto'o one of the things we lack is somebody to drive counterattacks like he did. Messi is fine enough, but since he's the only player with enough pace is easy to cover him. One more reason why we need a real winger on the left.

Yesssss... Now if I understand this shit correctly, Kyiv has to score 3 more? (since we own the away goals on our head to head versus them) Not that I don't think that rule is bollocks, mind!

He's no Nicky Butt. He's no Jorg Butt either.

what did he do? Reckon it's going to finish 1-1 Butterfingers. Stopped a freekick but let the ball slip from his hands.

And here you have it. Crap. 1-0 Valdés, it was 2-3 years ago since you stopped doing that crap...

Fair enough, can't pretend to have all the world to love us.

Dinamo - Barça about to start, they just showed the pitch this morning and it was completely covered by snow. They cleaned it up but I'm not looking forward this at all... And shit, we are wearing the pink shirt for all of Europe to see

Canny signing for Everton, I think he can do well.

Just read that two CSKA players tested positive and they might get thrown out of the competition. I guess that means Wolfsburg would go through? (although I can't see UEFA resolving it soon enough).

Stay away from Dos Santos. Ronaldinho-like work ethic without having been one of the greatest footballers in the planet first.

Head to head is fine. But away goals on head to head is really stretching it. Should have been GD.
