I always wonder if Goal.com writers are paid lol. They write and make some of the worst football related articles out there lol. So many mistakes too, spelling and all. "Spain Internation Lionel Messi wins his fourth ballon d'or" for example lol.

Their top 50 had Messi at #3 too.

Le Equipe are reporting that Chelsea have set to get Fellaini.

Good news if true. Also think they are fairly reliable.

The Times yesterday was saying they'd go for him in the summer, though I don't see why they wouldn't try now. Benitez doesn't seem to rate any of Chelsea's central midfielders.

You guys should read this, seen this guy play for Auckland. He made his debut with Messi. Now Messi is 4 x Ballon d'Or winner while he on the other hand is playing for Auckland City. :lol

From the Nou Camp to New Zealand.

Talk about going different ways.. one is literally at the pinnacle and the other is at the lowest level you can get pretty much.

I still believe, but he has to start showing the form he had at Udinese. I think Conte should try playing him in Vidal's position. Not sure the wing is the best place for him.

We have the perfect vice Marchisio and Vidal but we use them exclusively on the wings.

Pirlo is quoted as saying he would love Lampard at Juve.

plz

Reading asking for Welberg on loan doesn't signify that Reading have a very good clue how to get themselves out of trouble.

And it shows. Not as much on Asamoah's side - I think he's been doing great overall - but in general. Him and Licht aren't the greatest of crossers. We could use someone like Ribery or Nani. And someone like Llorente to head those flying balls in. When was the last time we scored with a header following a cross? :/

It is funny in a "wow" sort of way. They went opposite directions, things could have been different.

Though at least he gets to go to the Club World Cup every year, unlike Messi.

Jol.

In the sense that I don't care about Fulham, but Jol seems like an affable guy. He's gotta pick it up, though.

Brøndby players refusing the managements "Go 25% down in wages" offer. :D

Still can't believe they went out and asked their players for that, just to start talking about what positions they needed to be strengthened on the same, such a shit club. Wonder how many of their normal workers who aren't getting great wages can even afford to go 25% down.

Celtic announcing the new shirt sponsor at 3pm will be the highlight of my day today. :(

Some kind of 'best league in the world' ranking has just been published, btw: http://www.iffhs.de/?b6e28fa3002f71504e52d17f7370eff3702bb1c2bb11

1. España 1283,0
2. Brasil 1057,0
3. Deutschland 1037,0
4. Italia 1034,0
5. England 1007,0
6. Argentina 919,0
7. France 880,0
8. Nederland 738,0
9. Paraguay 712,5
10. Chile 711,5

No idea what the method behind it is.

Sorry for bringing this up again but what was wrong with Owen's 'Bradford are on fire' tweet earlier today? Is there a double meaning I'm not familiar with?

"The Bradford City stadium fire was the worst fire disaster in the history of English football. It occurred during a league match in front of record numbers of spectators, on Saturday, 11 May 1985, killing 56 and injuring at least 265."

Well ... yeah. I'm kind of hoping we'll go back to 4-3-3 sometime in the future. It'll only happen if Conte requests a couple of true wingers, obviously.

TheLucifer, we need Milan's starting XI for tonight, stat. :)

Spurs refuse Everton's request to take Livermore on loan. Why on earth did they ever think that would be a goer?

1, 2, 10, 14, 15, 69

These numbers represent the only minutes that Messi has failed to score in 2012. My goodness.
