You would be correct, darthvader. :) Llorente is facing a really unpleasant situation in Bilbao and has done since August. He gave his first real interview since then a day or so ago and it's pretty awful reading (meaning that the interview is well done but that what's conveyed is really...

In a major, major way.

Hope you guys get him. He's good and it would seriously annoy the Athletic Club leadership. Nacho is one of a small number of players from Euskal Herria that doesn't play for Athletic, Osasuna, or Sociedad and he's been on Athletic's wishlist for a while. Given the way players are being treated...

Sadly, they'll have to do with Bartosz Salomon, a young CB/DM they just picked up from Brescia.

I was reminded of a young (Lazio era) Alessandro Nesta. He's the last teenaged centerback I remember being so composed and so utterly dominant. Real are lucky to have this guy, he's very good indeed.

A quick google search turned up a piece on tribal football about Villa to Spurs. That's beyond bad. But you're right, XMG, Fox Soccer News is just appallingly bad now. Half of the Friday show is a weather report and betting odds on English games.

Fox Soccer News is on crack. They have reported that 'sources' told them that Spurs are leading the chase for David Villa. They do not, of course, name those sources.

I'd rather see him go to a team that can get out of the CL group stages.

Oops, my bad. Please don't do what Pepe thratens and dip me in thai sauce! The prison stripes all seem to look alike to me.

Vidal just missed a sitter at 2 meters in front of the Lazio goal. Sure you'd want him?:)

Really? I can think of at least one instance when you did lift someone's translations and the mods had to come in later. :)

Is that something like the translations other people have done that you passed off as your own?

How do you come by these remarkable insights into the thinking/motives/actions of Iker Casillas?

But will he be speaking German or the Bavarian dialect? :D (fellow linguist of sorts here. the Bavarian dialect gives me awful problems when listening to interviews.)

I'm not realy sure Sara's going to have all that much to do with forcing Mourinho out of Madrid. she's an awful journalist. Doesn't mean she isn't doing her part tho. I think that Mourinho's departure has already been decided and that some of the theatrics we've been seeing are to keep up...

Well, it's a bit of a conflict of interest for the SO of the captain to be reporting anything about Madrid, full stop. And Sara's not the brightest soul on earth and seems to be getting at least some airtime because of who she's dating (and possibly because of her, er, surgical enhancements). It...

It'll annoy the esteemed nerazzurri cugini. Works for me. :)

Congrats on the baby! And I'd like to see him move at the end of the season as he deserves better than what's happening right now. Would like to see him move to a club a bit better than Arsenal tho.

Nah, actually Barca and Athletic generally get on reasonably well, both being anti-Spanish to one degree or another.
