Not the best thing he could've said there.

The journalists are sitting down, at least.

Hello and welcome! btw, a friend of mine went to the rugby world cup in 2011 and loved both the country and the fact that the All Blacks finally won. :)

Why is Kagawa played out of positon?

Bet the Gladbach fans are...amused at that one.

Not looking particularly good at Old Trafford v. Sevilla. Did someone hex them when playing Liga teams?

Wow, not so good for PSG (even though Montpellier is reasonably good afaik). (Hi, sweetie!)

Hello, darling! And I can't decide about Bob. Would love to see him away from Chelsea but am far from sure Barcelona is a good fit for him. I also half suspect that whoever's bought (if anyone) is going to end up hosed.

As long as you have Bart......yes. :) And XMG, I could post some of THOSE pictures in the Men thread but, well, I wouldn't want to scandalize any of the guys. ;)

Got to be there in April to see this:

The one most likely to be screwed in this setup is Javi Martinez who may well be forced into playing a position he HATES playing (CB).

This. Nobody's going to come out of this mess looking good.

Wow. Not going to even bother going further in this conversation with either you or ursegor since you have both obviously made up your minds and are going to hate athletic fans because they boo a barca player who dives. Enjoy your world in which barca is a perfect team with perfect players that...

Why is it absurd? Because you don't think it's a dive or because it's a player you think can do no wrong? Athletic fans put Iniesta in a category that I've seen fans of other clubs put DiMaria. And given the things I've seen on the pitch and the interviews I've watched (in which Iniesta was...

Yep. I was responding more to the sentence under the vid, which I felt displayed a lack of understanding of the feelings and motivations of the Athletic fanbase. I think I'm in a better position to represent those, given my current location , friends, and the fact that I read the two Bilbao...

Um. No they are not. I was at the game yesterday and have a lot of friends who are Athletic socios. Iniesta is disliked because of the dive that got Amorebieta sent off and because of his contemptuous attitude toward the club, shown more than once.

To them he more than had it coming - and it had nothing to do with the World Cup. It had a lot to do with his on pitch behavior (far from angelic). I don't see you mentioning the standing ovation the same fans gave to Xavi last night. Not everyone is going to worship all of Barca's players.

Also he has a nice tushie. Speaking seriously for a moment, Javi's been developing this year and has developed in his role -- and he's far, far better in midfield than he is in defense.

Oh, I'm with you, cule4life -- the current leadership has gone to the extremes with the nationalism (club president supposedly using position to launch political career) and with the way they've handled some things (I'm not at all sure that Llorente would have wanted out had there been a little...

And for that we have Urrutia and Bielsa to thank. They brought it on.
