Seems like Lionel and Cristiano have become buddies. That's nice.

Fair bit of travelling for City. Pep will be onto his top PED man as we speak for trestments while travelling over international waters.

Won't get tickets for genk stadium to small we will get about 1000 tickets
Salzborg is 32k so we will get about 1500 so unlikely

Napoli a no go for me, so really st draw, need teams with 40k and above so we get 2000 for me to get tickets, pissed off frown
Good draw for the team. Not so good for the fans. Be interesting how many go Napoli again. A fair few who went last year went as it was their first time and a box ticked but it wasn't overly pleasant.

Very much so!

Even though people outside the club and its supporters said that we paid far too much for him, his signing made a massive difference to the team. Just think though, we could have waited 18 months and possibly bought Harry Maguire ... for even more money!

I can't remember if it was in an interview, an after dinner speach or publicity for a book, but he was asked about Brian Clough and told a story about when he went round to his house to sign. His story rambled on for ages but basically it made Clough look really weird, losing his marbles and saying he was pissed etc.

Some other bloke, can't remember who, was also there at the time and said Saunders had massively over exaggerated the story and thrown in a few lies to make himself look good. Upset the Clough family too as Brian wasn't there to defend himself. Spoken to several people who have come into contact with Saunders and almost without exception, he's described as an arrogant knob.
A pity people like him even get air time...

Messi
36 In 34 laliga and 15 assists
12 in 10 in champs league and 3 assists

To be honest VvD won it this year thanks to Messi winning so much individual prices already.

Messi best player of this century, if not ever.

Nonetheless VvD, Kloppo and Liverpool deserve all the credit.

I dont think you'll find anyone to argue against that.

But this season the impact of both players is close at least. Looks like Messi is getting the balon d'or

I'm not a betting man, but I said VvD would win this when the shortlist was announced.

Messi and Ronaldo have set the standard and raised expectations but the performances, and coverage of them, of VvD made him very hard to beat. If we hadn't won the European Cup I think it would have been Messi again, but we did (with the bonus of putting Messi out).

Yep know what you mean, people take what they do for granted, Messi had an exceptional year but so did VVD, lucky for him he won smile not many defenders are good enough to win that
