Footballers are generally too stupid to have principles and what few they have can usually be overcome with a slightly heftier signing on fee. His return to San Mames may well make the receptions for Sol and Pigo look like welcome home parties though :D Gora Athletic!

Did anybody else stop reading at this point? :lol:

I doubt Arsenal bid for Yaya, it would probably have been a case of the club offering Yaya the chance to move to Arsenal as part of the Cesc deal.

I hope Spain crash out thanks to a Casillas blunder.

Would "the big picture" not be the team as a whole rather than the interests of one particular player? Dunga has been building a team for the past few years and I don't blame him for deciding not to take a backward step at this late stage.

That pic's blatantly photoshopped, and before anybody says it, I know Sport have the image on their website, but it's Sport.

You're exciting Gio, but not beautiful to watch. It's more car crash football with the mystery of how you're going to manage to come back from the initial ineptitude to win the game.

I'm not a fan of polls, but this is a good one, even if the answer is fairly obvious. Pedro. Scores. Goals.

Sod the Spanish, zero trophies for madrileños!

Bojan's looking better every game and casting serious doubt over the need for David Villa. Bojan starts, Bojan scores.

:D Visca el Barca!!!

He did but given that he lost the ball 30yds inside VR's half I don't think he can take much of the blame for that goal.

He remains the best midfielder on the planet, yet another concierto from him last night to torpedo the yellow submarine. It underlines just how well Mourinho and Inter did to limit his impact on the game.

Actually I thought he was rather off-key last night, he's looking seriously tired, the two goals were both well taken (the 1st with a bit of luck) but he was on the fringes of the game for the most part. The positive of course is that we didn't need Messi at his best last night because the rest...

Superb game from Busi last night, countless interceptions, some nice little passes in midfield and a few brilliant tackles to stop a potentially dangerous VR move in its tracks.

Not a great fan but I'll reserve full judgement until I've seen the shirts themselves, the away kit looks like VV's goalkeeper strip

The agent has been a massive factor in Yaya's transition from first team stalwart to fringe player, would you disagree with that?

Well there isn't much recourse when you choose to be so dense.

I don't want him gone if he keeps his agent in check and buckles down, he has a valuable role to play on certain occasions and can be an awesome player (see CDR final, Rome etc.) but tonight wasn't one of his best moments, that's my only point, I'm not sure why some choose to be so sensitive -...

It was bad decision making which was his game all over tonight, if you stop pushing the point I'll stop dissing your darling Yaya. Your argument is only flawed by its breathtaking over simplicity. The logic of "taking shot = good" doesn't cut it with me, sorry if that offends you.
