Comparing EPL fees for English players to the rest of the transfer market is flawed, in my opinion. So is putting Song in the same category as Witsel or Javi. So yeah, 19 million euros for Song was robbery in my opinion.

Well, when Llorente, Muniain, Amorebieta and Iturraspe have been either relegated to the bench or not called up at all, it's a bit of a stretch. Add to that the penchant Bielsa has for sticking midfielders in the center of defense and putting centerbacks in midfield and....it's a terrible mess...

Today's game is just....it's making me ill to watch. The lineup is incredibly effed up with several guys playing WAY out of position. Llorente is actually starting (it's an away game and Aduriz is hurt) but that's about teh ONLY positive I can take from a lineup that has Gurpegi in defense and...

George Weah.

Well, they beat Granada today. Pretty grim game though, but not unexpected with Bielsa benching not only the guys who aren't renewing (Llorente and Amorebieta) but also those on his Naughty List (including Iturraspe and Muniain). Add to this injuries to other players and...yeah. Not a...

+1 Txakoli to you, for that, from the Euskal Herria.

Well, I can think of one significant exception in Spain (though the locals would argue that point): Athletic Bilbao where they ONLY have players from Euskal Herria and where the separatism is much more politicized than it is in Catalonia. The current blip of guys wanting out is a consequence of...

Wow. Nice fight back from Lazio. Good result for them. Also going to take a brief moment to point a fin and snicker in the general direction of Atletico.

Actually, loozy, I was thinking of Pirlo and 2006 when he absolutely did deserve it. :)

Has Scholes been named MOTM in a World Cup final? I think - for the record - that Paul Scholes is easily the most talented English footballer of his generation and regret that he didn't play more for his NT because I think he could have really added something. I'd easily name him to an all...

Since the Panenka this summer?

Never listened to Andy Grey then?

I think this 'biggest' and 'best' club discussion is far too subjective to come up with any sort of comprehensive agreement. Smile seems to consider # of fans, $ of revenue an indicator of 'big' and 'best'. Madrid fans may point to domestic and CL titles. Milan fans may point to CL titles and #...

Not only that, he's been in very good form. Really enjoy watching him. I still think Bayern's most vulnerable area is its defense but gosh, Dante has been playing at an awfully high level this season.

And the bianconeri did that without their best defender. Chiello is still out injured.

:hooray: Ibra :rofl1:

Got it in one. Juve's defense is generally good as is their midfield. It's the attack that's lacking. Once they get that settled (assuming they do), they'll be truly scary. (speaking as one who watches more calcio than anything else)

Well, that's that. Vucinic goal.

Marchisio :wub: Feel badly for Celtic - they are a good team and their support is amazing.

He's injured, I believe.
