You two should be ashamed of your vocab!

I think so mate, because (and I tell no lie) Thibaut Courtois has told reporters that he hasn't listened and won't listen to any invitation to sign for Real Madrid because he doesn't trust the fax machine they've bought. So it seems the phone lines will once again be activated between Man Utd and Real Madrid. Apparently De Gea himself has offered his iPhone for tethering incase the line breaks down.

It was only a scare in the end and Florentino Pérez calmed everyone's nerves when he informed the world's press (even FOX News and the BBC were there to see the package opened) that the package was simply a brand spanking new state of the art fax machine.

In the real experts view Ernesto Valverde should be the one to take over and according to them, the perfect appointment in every sense. Jorge Sampaoli in practically every poll that has been done in Spain is indeed the fans' favourite.

Some of their depth are errors made in the confectioning of the squad. Robert Fernández (one of the technical directors) is a big part of the reason for these issues and the decisions he has made at times, I could've made and probably would've. Quality players, but it's looking more and more like one or two are the wrong players for the team.

Pinch of salt indeed mate... Riders like Márquez and Rossi want competition to inspire them.

Neymar responds to Di María When Paris Saint-Germain's Cavani scored what looked to be the all important 3-1 against Barça at the Camp Nou, Ángel di María responded (probably due to his Real Madrid past) with a finger to his mouth shushing the Barcelona crowd... Well Neymar on his Instagram account had an answer for him (a more educated and sophisticated one).

I expect Ducati to be more than competitive but as you know, for me there's only one man... Marc Márquez!

Tom Brady on his Instagram account...

With the will and a strong heart the seemingly impossible becomes possible The feat will live forever because great moments come from people who are willing to make an extraordinary sacrifice against adversity. When everything and everyone around you loses hope and only sees the impossible, it's those that believe, that can make the change. The lesson isn't even the fact seemingly impossible feats can be overcome, the thing we should learn in any walk of life is that even if you go down, doing it by trying to overcome with fight and spirit will make you carry on with gladness in your heart. From that moment on both yourself and all those around you will see life in a different light... They will never forget! The following video is a compilation of mostly people that lived the moment with their smartphone or tablet coupled with some moments from tv and radio. I personally love the final moments how it ends. The euphoria you visualise is pure unadulterated disbelief and almost a feeling of spontaneous personal closure. From people in the Camp Nou, to people all over the world, commentators in the stadium, the players, and people watching at home... This final video is the commentary of various Spanish radio stations in the moment Sergi Roberto scores the final goal.

I understand why Vieira is doing that but it's total rubbish. So they've been letting him down for 10 years now? And in that time there's been all sorts of different players. So when new players are signed the ones that were there before give the new ones a phone call to tell them not to perform and let down Arsene Wenger. What a load of tosh!

Under that premise then it would be a forgone conclusion that Barça will win the Champions League and everything they play in and that isn't how it is. PSG have a great side which is another reason why this feat is historic apart from the fact nobody's done it before mate.

Well with Old Trafford they just started building upwards to expand the capacity.

I was a massive fan of André Gomes while he was at Valencia and I still think he is very talented. But it's becoming more and more evident he doesn't fit into that side at all. Nobody can't say as has been the case with many players all over the place in the past and present that he hasn't been given a chance. Luis Enrique has been forceful with him and played him even when André was getting criticised quite a bit. As for Verratti... He is obviously perfect for Barça but coming from PSG he would be extremely expensive.

Brilliant news! He is sublime when on top form, something he hasn't been this season (let's not get coaxed by the goals scored and let's leave that to the fanboys). He can offer much more and is an imperative part of the cogs in the machine of the side. Whichever coach comes in next season will have a multifunctional (multi-tasking) midfielder that is a dream for anyone. Love the guy and love his attitude.

Great player where his honours won speak for themselves and it's because he's worked extremely hard to do it. The reason as Cannabis has mentioned because he has never been flashy or extremely technically gifted. Being Spanish and having that on your shoulders means you have to be so so good in other areas! Everything he's accomplished, he's deserved because of himself.

Once we were legends Well there's been all sorts of adjectives thrown at FC Barcelona or many of their players ever since one man with a vision decided to change the "hard luck" story that had always been felt by the Cules (Barça fans). The dark years in Spain for so many reasons (more so real life and not football) had left a bitter taste and one that has never been digested properly. It's possibly for that reason that Spanish people are today a bunch of unsatisfied personalities on the whole... It's possibly why once one protest has finished and no longer exists, they then search for the next reason to feel disgusted and appalled by. Well it's not like there isn't reason to be suspicious of the establishment when month after month there's a new story of corruption and pure manipulation of the social rules of coexistence. Life has always been more in line with a feeling of morbidness and negativity when a "Spaniard" is asked what his or her plans are for the future! Pessimism is probably a better and more likely descriptive word. Johan Cruyff was that man... Cruyff was hard lined, probably you could say that Zlatan Ibrahimović personality caricature is a joke version of what Cruyff was in reality and with a method. I say that because Ibrahimović is a more contemporary celebrity in the world of football and one more in tune with today's football fan and that Cruyff is only known to have been one of the footballing greats and maybe also someone that changed certain things in the way football is visualised (the latter for the more avid and studious fan). But few will know how important the man was to football and how everything changed from the moment he became a professional footballer and then a commander of the dugout. No more catenaccio and nor more negativity on an outlook of how to plan a possible victory the confronting someone of your own ilk or superior. Belief in one's vision, in one's self and overall on the fact people go to football to be entertained and see moments that will stay registered in the retina forever. He changed the club, he changed Spanish football... He changed football! But to be more up to date, we have now nearly 15 years or more of one generation of footballers that has accomplished feats that were once seen as stuff of movies or graphic novels for spotty teenagers. Great goals, winning in spectacular fashion, playing a brand of fantasy football and going further than just living on hope. It's kind of ironic that the eternal underachievers, Spain, also changed their destiny in that time and with the same generation of players. That instead of it having been where the god of football was born, it was his adopted country that benefitted from the madness put into a method. Some in Spain hate the fact their country managed the feats they did for almost a decade... These people that despise what occurred are people that tend to be national flag wavers and victims of pro-right-wing tattoo bearers. Why? Because those that don't feel in such a manner, those they accuse of not feeling any nationalistic pride at all or maybe those that suffered in the dark years for this were the ones that changed it and actually went and put it into effect. What was seen yesterday in the Camp Nou is in reality just one more feat, one more glorious moment, one more record broken and one more statistic for the future to be used by football commentators and pundits. Maybe only past footballers or people that have been involved in the game all their lives know how difficult it is to achieve the things these players (and some that have retired in recent years from this generation) have done which probably describes the reaction in the studio of those presenting a football program... Some criticise, some are just eternally miserable and hate enjoyment and some may even be envious of something that just doesn't seem to bloody end. It doesn't matter if FC Barcelona go onto win the Champions League this season. It doesn't make a difference! Infact most that have let themselves enjoy the feats and adventures of these people only wished that respect could be put back in place. A good victory and a passionate display from their players to take home and prove it was all an error coupled with some wonderful play by the home side that evening three weeks ago in Paris. But it went a step further... Luis Enrique interviewed the day before last night's historic moment said this. "We will score four goals. Of that I have no doubt... There will be a moment where my players will know they are on the verge of doing it, of turning around something that seems impossible for others to believe in" Then he was asked... The probabilities are that your opponent (PSG) will also score at least a goal. What then? "Then if they score one, we will have to score six, and we will" Maybe Luis Enrique in his rebellious and ill mannered way in front of the press was just being facetious or down right "up yours". Or maybe he believed! He didn't know what was going to happen, but he did know that his players were going to bring moments of hope and on the edge sentiments. Celebrate this because people have been witnessing real legends for a long time now. Celebrate and don't feel you have to wish so hard... Celebrate when these guys were legends.

THANKS A MILLION MATE!

The thing is that I know what he's talking about. He says the CLUB and not football affairs. The club is in fantastic shape to be honest and that's what they care about because it fills their pockets.

Not changing allegiance mate... I just want to show visible support for a club that needs it to go to that next step in Spain. My support for Arsenal FC will never die although I have fallen out of love with the club which has no relevance on my wanting to show support for Lugo though.

Míchel appointed Málaga CF head coach Ex Getafe, Olympiakos and Marseille coach Míchel has been appointed head coach with a three year deal. El Málaga cesa al 'Gato' Romero y Míchel le sustituirá

I also get what Batard has said about global mods as it neatens the place up and all that with more probable reasons. But what Josh has said is also true in that Rebel should be exclusive to the Spanish football part of the forum. He is paramount to this place in my view.

I'd like my Spanish local side that play's in Spain's second division (La LIga 1|2|3) added as I want to show them support... CD Lugo (Club Deportivo Lugo)
