Didn't know that (drugs), seen the tackle a few times mind. How is he thought of by Barça fans? Doesn't mean much to us, given the circumstances and the briefness of his spell, which is a pity given his stature. To be frank he performed admirably on the pitch when he was fit and scored a couple of anthology goals, but didn't get along well with the board and demanded a transfer. Regarding the drugs thing, he said so in his biography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It's probably bollocks, so I think the news is just good for the belly-laugh of imagining it. The CWC is a tin cup, but it would be taking the piss of the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CWC is a tin cup, but it would be taking the p*ss of the tournament. Made me think of the Cup-Winners Cup. Loved that tournament myself. One of the things I'm proudest as Barça fan is being record winners and owning the original trophy. It made winning the cup special, too, instead of being thrown out with the Waffa cup lot. I suppose it didn't make much sense with the expanded CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I don't think Makelele is underrated, people still talk of the "Makelele role" (which in truth predates him) for a reason. Great graph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same while at Real Madrid. I was left wondering who actually underrated him (apart from Pérez) since everybody said the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Canny story about the plight of Plymouth in the Star today, really hope they can sort it out soon. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/204411/Plymouth-players-prove-loyalty-still-exists/ Simon Walton has been struggling to pay rent in Plymouth plus the mortgage on his Surrey home where his partner, former Celeb Big Brother babe Nicola Tappenden, 28, lives with their little girl Poppy, two. Simon, 23, said: “It’s pretty desperate. Three of us players have moved in together. I sold my car and I have to pay train fares to see my family 200 miles away.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If Robben and Ribery can stay injury free, they'll do very well. Robben is such an amazing talent, shame he's made of glass and a bit of an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Bayern should walk this league this season. Heynckes has shown what a good coach he his with Leverkusen last season and Bayern have had a very good transfer window - shipping out some dead wood and getting in some high quality players. Allthough, I'm not too sure as yet because I don't know how strong Dortmund will be this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 That's why I like the Bundesliga - you can never tell who's going to win it. Win 1 year, and get relegated the next! Plus the standard is decent too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
