I wish Valencia had better financial support, over the past few years, they lost David Villa, David Silva, and Juan Mata.

Well that was their own fault for getting way too deep into debt trying to build the new stadium, thinking selling the old one was going to be easy and a done deal for the money they wanted. Not to mention Valencia has usually sold their biggest players.

He just comes across as so self aware of his quirkiness and does everything he can to make people think he's some sort of jesus space wizard. Not for me.

Nah, Angelo Alessio was just a puppet, his late subs gave him away :p Conte planned it all.

About the formation, that's what he said a few hours ago "4-3-3 and 3-5-2 are relatively interchangeable. I can also use them during the same game. The attitude is the most important thing"

He may say that, but he's wrong. In a 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 the front trio or pair function in very different ways. Del Piero only really can work in a front pairing where he's expected to be the creative force. You really can't expect him to be a prima punta in a 4-3-3. He simply isn't that type of player. Quagliarella, Matri, Borriello, even Vucinic to some extent can be that reference point. Del Piero flourishes with a poacher or somebody with great movement. So either we're playing 3-5-2 with one of Quagliarella or Borriello, or I have no idea what our tactics are going to be.

Unless the 4-3-3 is with LWST and RWST and Del Piero in the centre but further back.... I guess.

After an official recount, it is now confirmed that Messi is actually only 1 goal, not 4, away from equaling the record of Cesar Rodriguez to be the top scorer for FC Barcelona of all time, at the age of 24.
Granada watch out, Messi is on a mission.

A photograph of what Panathinaikos fans smuggled into their own stadium in order to cause havoc and destruction. Brutal.

The only team I support is Chelsea. I like what I seen of Bilbao recently and wouldn't mind following their progress but I can't say I would support them. I want to know what people who support multiple teams do when they meet in Europe.

Pick a second team that don't get that much European exposure.

Brøndby have only played Liverpool one time and that was back in 1995: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0-p8T5rpdc

Greek fans.

Any excuse to raise havoc in Greece last few years.

Like Panathinaikos is doing well this season. We lost 3 major games in a row. As strange as it sounds, losing Cisse cost us a bunch.

Did a search and found nothing, mock if old ...

"Did I miss something — did Chelsea win the Champions League on Wednesday?

"When you see the manager on the pitch, a player waving a flag going down the tunnel and team-mates milking applause 10 minutes after the final whistle, they are the scenes I associate with winning a trophy.

"We saw Frank Lampard and John Terry interviewed on TV saying it was one of their best European nights.

"What had Chelsea done? They had qualified for the quarter-finals. That's all.

"I was confident they'd win at Stamford Bridge — and good luck to them.

"But when I saw Didier Drogba with a flag in his hands and all of the other over-excited reaction, it really made me wonder.

"They hadn't even overturned a great team.

"Napoli are a decent side but they're in fourth in Serie A and haven't won a major honour in more than 20 years.

"If beating them is enough for singing and dancing, I give up."

WTF....


Barcelona accused of being part of an anti-Assad plot by Syrian TV with the clue, apparently, in their formations
A state-owned Syrian TV channel has claimed that analysis of Barcelona's formation "represents arms smuggling routes"

Al Dunya TV believes that infinitely more reputable media outlet Al-Jazeera Sport was "distorting the facts" in their post-match breakdown of Real Madrid v Barcelona last December.

The clip above proposes that an analysis of Barcelona's passing movements gives clues about weapons routes to Syrian rebels attempting to oust President Bashar Assad.

The ball, apparently, represented the weapons. The Barcelona players, allegedly, are the smugglers. Real Madrid's, it claimed, represented blockages as weapons were brought in from Lebanon.

So when the analysts showed the ball moving from one player to the other, and getting round Real Madrid's defence, the rebels were made aware of the location of the weapons. Obviously.

The voice-over informs us that when the ball is passed by Lionel Messi it means that weapons have reached rebels in Dir al-Zur. It's all so clear now, isn't it?
