James O’Brien of LBC issued a recovery of UK newspaper headlines for the last 20 years showing how people have been duped into believing lies! I can’t recover it right now.
-
Not that it mattered considering the outcome of the London vote and how it was always going to result. Indeed I voted Brexit as I was duped and fell for the rhetoric. I've mentioned it on here before... It's not the only bad decision I've made in my life (I would expect many do make erroneous moves), but it is the worst considering how for the first time I let those that try to manipulate, do so.

Well PSG are in total disarray and about to enter into authentic chaos. But even then, unless they're chucked out of this present edition of the Champions League (aside from any other punishments to be handed out) before January, then there's no chance of capturing any of their big names.

That just shows all the Gammons out there that voted for the UK to have grab back sovereignty and independence...WE ALWAYS DID HAVE SOVEREIGNTY stupid fools! Now, now we don't with the deal. But not to worry. This will be voted out of parliament and will draw the political system into even more chaos than it's already in. We have the bafoons in Davies and Boris to bumble up a revolution. My hope is that enough to chaos is created so as we can have another referendum and I can right my personal wrong.

Thank the lord for that! We have nothing much to privatise to be honest, so another Thatcher existence would be pointless.

It seems Real Madrid isn't about going to watch them on the pitch but about observing how their elected president goes about making mistakes but just in case it isn't a mistake (can't have another Morientes at Monaco occurrence) he puts in contractual clauses. Things all top clubs do all the time in every league. I think I'll stick to cheering a team on what they do on the pitch.

Jan Molina don't forget the name... FC Barcelona "Infantil 'A'" (one of the youth teams at La Masia) has a whole bunch of wonderkids coming through but the one that's been making all the headlines over the past 7 to 8 months is a 12 year old from Calaf in Catalonia called Jan Molina. The kid has won the MVP of the past two La Liga Promises tournaments which are held every year ranging from South to North America and Asia. So much impact has the youngster made that he has dedicated scouts following the child leagues in Spain from the Premier League and Serie 'A' with even an attempt by Real Madrid to try and snatch the boy this summer just gone. He plays in midfield which is his natural position and has been tested already with the older youth teams two categories above his own where he has excelled in both. Due to his sensational technical ability he can also play out wide in attacking positions and as an interior (Iniesta type position) both on the left and right due to being ambidextrous. Ronaldinho himself attended a youth game only three weeks ago where he told a reporter that Jan Molina was the most similar thing to himself he had seen at such a young age. Individual focus videos aren't permitted at those youth categories although there are plenty of highlight videos one can watch from the team on YouTube... I found this video with a top five ranking of goals for last season at Barça's youth level games including girls. Molina's goal was ranked 4th.

This is what I've maintained all along. I was living in Spain throughout his tenure at Real Madrid and it turned into a chaotic circus with him every day. So much so that he stopped doing press conferences and appointed Aitor Karanka as the coaching voice in front of the media. But he did have serious moments in Italy already before he arrived. Well documented run ins with the media and even some other football people like the owner of Palermo (I think it was Palermo).
-
The same way I wanted Lopetegui sacked because of what he did even though I knew it was seriously detrimental to Spain’s chances in the World Cup. I feel the same way about Neymar mate. He and his father are scumbags and I wouldn’t want him back ever.
-
Welbeck definitely offers certain qualities others don't have coming off the bench. He isn't and never has been good enough to be a first team player but he does have attributes that are necessary in any squad searching to compete at least at national level. It's a serious loss from our perspective.
-
Rafinha was terrible against Rayo though mate. He was absolutely abysmal. I hope that was a one off!
-
With Leo Messi due to return against Real Betis this weekend after his arm fracture, now it's being reported that Philippe Coutinho has broken down in training with a hamstring injury that could keep him out from anything between 3 weeks to a month.
-
The thing is that La Real don't have any financial problems at all. Unless someone is pocketing all the money they've been getting for players, then I don't understand. I mean, they never spend big anyhow.
-
They’re incredible. Animals are amazing!
-
I hope they have better luck than Odriozola or better said, not be as stupid as to make the decision Odriozola made.
-
Obviously that was an anomaly where potential football greats come along at one club at the same time more or less. But there are fantastic young players, players that can compete at the top end. But they have to be blooded into the big competitions and that takes at least a season. Everything in such a short space of time has become so competitive that the board feel under pressure to provide competitiveness to their head coach.
-
But apart from Arthur (in the past two windows) nobody else is real Barcelona potential. This without disrespecting Lenglet who looks class but I’m talking midfield up into attack.
-
They are indeed. I honestly don’t remember any period in history other than part of Joan Gaspart’s tenure towards the end where he spent lots of money on mediocrity. But there was a reason for that stupidity which was that when Barcelona infamously lost Figo and received all that money for the buy-out clause, he got duped by clever agents and overode all of the board. He himself admits to this day that he was the worst president the club has ever had. He states that a football fanatic like him should never be permitted to preside over the club he loves.
-
Yeah and rumours just come in that there’s a Malcom + money swap deal. This is totally weird.

Daniel Carvajal “Life has this curiosity of opinions being made on something outside someone’s sphere of comprehension, we all do it. But here’s the thing... Julen Lopetegui is the best coach I’ve had and he’s the best coach Real Madrid have had in a long time!”
-
I read about this two days ago but I expect this to be a mere rumour. I honestly feel that this would be a massive waste of money and a big error.
-
Xavi In an interview with Italian sports daily newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' he talks about many things present with FC Barcelona but the headline has been his words in reference to Arthur. "I don't know why people are so scared to compare Arthur to me. When I watch him play I feel all the moves I used to when playing for Barcelona. The way he turns and picks his passes feels like he was brought up in La Masia. He is a great signing for the club and I'm not so sure they even knew he was so perfect"
-
Yeah I mentioned this the other day. He is a player of moments and not a player to rely on.
-
Great news and almost miraculous to be honest!
