I assume he has some properties, and his high wages make him a relatively low risk loanee.

Plus we have been witness of Icelandic banks' business acumen.

Yes Portugal have been very poor. Cronaldo has also never been as good for them as he has been at club level (I assume because he has played with better players at ManU and Madrid) I actually fancy CIV getting to the second round. I fear them more, although we still should get them if we are able to...

That'll be fun on here then when we play the US. Glad we drew them though, it'll make it interesting at least. Does that mean that it's Germany/Oz/Ghana/Serbia in the second round then? That could've been better. Still, you can't play shit teams all the way through. The group with Brazil, Portugal ...

Won the CCC Player of the Month for second time in a row today.

I'll give you some shocking mid-range signings of my own: Nani, Anderson, Tosic... Best part of £30m wasted there for next to feck all end result. And Hargreaves' injury record has proven to be up to scratch, hasn't it? 170 appearances in 10 years he's made, and people are criticising the signing o...

Village_Idiot2

Blurred, examples of shocking midrange signings to me: Dossena, Babel, Keane, Bellamy, Josemi, Pennant, Morientes. I'm not including stuff like Voronin, Kromkamp or Degen, which have been utter failures but were free. Those are the kind of signings that eventually build the depth of a team. Players ...

Being better than Evans and Souness is hardly LFC's ambition though is it? At no point under Benitez have you ever looked remotely likely to win the title, and so questions will rightly be asked IMO. Neither did they under Souness, Evans or Houllier, so it's not like Benítez has held them back. I c...

To be totally honest, I'm starting to feel bad for that lot. That's pretty humiliating. It's even worse that if they just changed the name outright to Sportsdirect Stadium, the owner is rubbing it in their noses while all the country laughs at them.

I don't think that punishment has to made harsher, just give what's already in the books. The Eduardo incident might have been a start, but it became obvious that FIFA only wanted to do a bit of grandstanding and then dropped the issue. However, punishing diving isn't actually as easy. It's not as c...

Love it how in the last photo Bruno posted Gerrard's already calling for a pen before he has fallen to the ground.

I wish there was a comprehensive way to tackle on diving, at least on the high level.

Village_Idiot2

Hasn't Ferguson given them two promotions on the trot? Talk about ungrateful...

Village_Idiot2

Can't make out what they are signing, is it anything offensive? (in addition of breaking the minute of silence)

And I agree that every club has its own set of idiots.

Village_Idiot2

In just a couple seasons he managed to become a legend for us. Class act. Two moments that will always stick in my memory: 1) When he assisted the two goals in our comeback against Arsenal in the CL final (second title for us and the first in 15 years, so it was a huge deal when it happened). 2) Hav...

I didn't watch the game, but a friend of mine emailed me a jpg of the scoreline and at first I thought he had photoshopped it and was pulling my leg! Pity they reinstated the two legs after big clubs complained about these shock results (we got our share of them mind), that's what used to make the c...

I think it was van Gaal who bombed him out of Barcelona....shame that. It was Rijkaard actually. He was too slow (not only in pace, but in playing tempo) and needed the whole team to play around him. He couldn't get that at Barça (or any top European team), but he was top dog at Villarreal and was ...

Ronaldinho. Could have been one of the greats.

Village_Idiot2

He came to give a lecture at my uni, and mixed with the students afterwards. Very approachable guy.

Village_Idiot2

Not really "allowed", Spanish players are mandated to answer the call up or have their licenses suspended.

@Bruno: I met Werner Herzog today, what a man.

Village_Idiot2

guy's mother wrote: He is Motherwell daft and has already been to France and Wales in the past year to watch them; I think that is punishment enough

Village_Idiot2

Hat trick for him today against Ipswich.

I feel happy for him to be succeeding as a player again, even if it's in a lower division.
