Thiago
His father won the world cup with Brasil
He was born in Italy
He is a midfielder who learned everything in La Masia.
Destined for greatness at Barca.

Sounds more like he's destined for a few seasons of being good just to become fat and then get suspended for match fixing.

I did. They'll be no match for my boys Monterrey, though.

lol, i wonder who we'll invite to play Eusébio Cup this year.
we've had Inter, AC Milan, Tottenham, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
I'm honestly convinced Götze either got paid off or chickened out. He was probably afraid. If Dortmund won with him, it would be a worse welcome than Neuer got, and if he played and they lost, there would always be conspiracy theories about him throwing the game.
Or they simply wrote the injury into his contract.

Yep to Juve it is.
(that's me slide-tackling you for those comments)
Lars Jacobsen is a God. That right there is on Peter Møller who's now a tv reporter, from his wiki " In the summer 2001, he moved back to Denmark to once again play for F.C. Copenhagen. With his previous success for FCK's arch rivals Brøndby IF, he was initially scorned by the FCK fans and only referred to by his shirt number, "number 32".
We eventually got to love him though, #Onlyone32
Wasn't there some controversy about him house hunting during the run of to the match?

You don't miss out on a champions league final because you are scared. How many players even get a chance to play in a CL final in their whole career?
Gotze is injured imo, nobody throws away a CL title because of such minor reasons.
Roma will get their La Decima and a shiny silver star this season. Shame really.
Soriano quotes:
"You cant go to the market every year & buy the most expensive players. Not to say we wont be signing expensive players. We will. But the objective - the vision - is to have a team where at least half of the players will be City players.
A City player will be someone like Joe Hart, who has been there a while. They love the club and can be the core of the squad. The players might come from other clubs, continents or cultures, but we have to have stability in the culture & the way we play.
What cannot happen is that the team plays away and the performance changes so much from one game to the next."
And before I go to bed I'll leave you with this, found on the wall of Malaga's training ground.

Hoeneß probably found a few major reasons on a numbered bank account in Switzerland.

I decided to watch seven earlier while doing some uni work after you guys talked about it, completely forgot how awesome that little speech is :
" Just said in the perfect fucking voice.
Spoilered it for you freaks who still haven't watched it.
"We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example.
Spoilered it for you freaks who still haven't watched it.
A few more Soriano quotes, we've not heard from him since September time and now he can't keep his gob shut.
"After Germany he [Pep Guardiola] probably will come to England to coach somewhere. Pep and Txiki speak regularly, maybe weekly.
Our management team off the pitch is among the best in Europe so there is no real reason for criticism of anyone. Now we want a manager who knows about football, but we want somebody who knows about man-management.
It is impossible for us to win, win the Champions League in the end, if we dont have a group that behaves like a family. We want a family where there are no criticisms, where everybody respects everybody, and to do this you need to be a senior coach. Our group of players are diverse but they are also mature people. If they work with a senior manager, they can do great things.
The style of play will run through the club but when it goes to the first team, the manager can make as many changes as he wants. Normally what shouldnt happen is that he will make radical changes, such as playing lots of long balls etc.
When I started at Barca revenue was £123m & United was £251m. After 3 years our revenue was higher than United. Revenues will increase."

Realistic for Newcastle?
Top 10 finish, quarter finals of FA Cup and a decent tilt at winning the League Cup.
Sorry Mr. Samuel, this probably rules out another English manager (Pulis).

I think I prefer the Chelsea TV commenters then the American ESPN ones haha. Glad it's free to view tonight!
Yeah reminds me of the AIG United kit with the massive crest.
League: Champions
CL: I just hope Moyes can get us out of the group stage. I'm not expecting much here.
