Village Idiot

Carbon-14 dating takes its time.

Why is the French league so lightweight? They are a big European country, larger and more prosperous than Spain for starters; and their NT has been pretty successful throughout the years, producing some great players. Yet their football clubs - bar PSG nowadays - have always been pitiful.

Being out of the cup is a blessing in disguise on that regard. Real Madrid will have played 8 less games than us this season when we face each other in the upcoming Clásico.

You consider Espanyol to be bigger rivals? Absolutely not. But I deal with more Espanyol fans than Madrid fans in my daily life.

This is one of two games every season where I don't mind that much if Madrid gets a cricket score.

The way our tax laws work, you actually need to be rich to be eligible for a prison sentence, since your average Joe José won't be able to dodge enough tax to be considered a felony.

Valencia lose. Their winless streak in the league stretches to 11 now, 8 since Neville took over.

A 19-year old kid no less. So merciless. Brutal management. Felt a bit sorry for him, think he's a decent player tbh. More experience needed for Valencia atm though but they seem to have a fairly young squad. The problem with Valencia is that they have a squad full of decent players, but no outstanding ones. Barring Alcácer (who's still young), there's nobody I would hang my hat on.

That new bosnian Gijón CB just murdered Bakkali on the pitch. Dat scream.

Only with erotic consequences.

They'll stick with him until the end of the cup tie against us most surely. They are going to bet everything on the cup right now.

Valencia 0-1 down at their place against relegation battlers Sporting. Neville still looking for a league win. EDIT: Neville immediately subs out the player responsible for the goal (it was a pen). Ruthless.

Would they sign two strikers in the same window? Seems unlikely to me.

If he were a pre Maradona at least...

"Minor wound" Was he in Russia at the time?

Thoroughly entertaining game. Levante never gave up but Sevilla are just better.

If Rossi can put his injuries behind him (which is a huge ask given the nightmare he's been through these years), he will be a magnificent player for them. I was just going to ask, how much did he go for? Wouldn't have mind him here. He's there on loan. Rossi on loan to NUFC? Need to get that jumanji gif out.

My biggest worry regarding that, is the fact that the Russian league is in the middle of its 3-month winter break, so dunno what kind of form he will be in. I thought he was at Roma currently? Wiki says he's been on loan in Russia since the summer.

Hardly our fault is it that Valencia came in for him? Would be a no brainer for anybody in his positon. Absolutely.

Loan with an option to buy is being mentioned over here.

Apparently this is not (yet) official as Valencia have to get rid of Orban first. They are in talks with Granada regarding that.

I absolutely know owt about this guy, but getting pace upfront makes sense given your current striker options.
