Bale has got to be the most overrated player in the history of the game. A decent performance against Inter and he's instantly world class. . . He had only one assist all season.

Angelo Ogbonna: Plays in Italy, can't remember which club. From what I've heard, I think he is very good.
From the local league:
Chima Akass(3sc): Good defender, plays at left back.
Fade Adebayo(Bukola Babes): He has been a revelation this season. Plays at left back and centre back. Arguably, the best left back in the league. He is something like Dani Alves of Barcelona, a left back version. He's dead ball specialist and has scored couple of freekicks this season.

Other news:
Bukola Babes' coach, Fesus Allen, has come under fire from the Ilorin based side management after a recent drop in form have seen them slide down the table. He has been given a 3 match ultimatum to save his job and told to at least garner 7 points from these 3 matches. Two of the matches have been played and the Babes have claimed four points. Bukola Babes must win their upcoming match if Festus Allen is to keep his job.
Bukola Babes had a bright start to the season and at some point went on a record 8 match unbeaten run.

One good thing I kinda like about every single one of the signings is that they are a shift from the norm of outrageously ''expensive'' signings.

but sometimes awuf dey run belle(altinthop) but i hope not in all this cases.

Thanks to FFP(Financial Fair Play)

Adidas F-50. . .same boots Messi wears.

I'd rate it average. Started out brightly and at some point looked like sure bet for Europe but petered out towards the end and finished 14.
Injury to some key players, Stuart Holden especially, didn't help matters.

Goodday guys,
I av been largely indisposed when i am supposed to be celebrating this victory. Though i do not intend to dent or derail the happy and celebratory atmosphere that have rightly held sway since the victory, i think it is not wrong to inform this family, that while our club was fighting to win the CL title , my sister was fighting for her life and that of an unborn baby in the ceaserean. While the former won, the latter lost. What an irony! It is pathetic and indeed a deep lost to me, though i cannot question the will of the Almighty, who giveth and taketh life.

I love Starboard for all the posts he has given here. He indeed is a wonderful person. I have yet to see a person accept defeat as has he. He is so likable.

Guy, sorry for the loss.
Meanwhile, Soriano banged yet another hatrick as Barca B whooped Salamanca 5-1. He has now scored 26 goals in the league this season.
Perhaps, he will get promoted to the first team next season. He couldn't feature in the league this season because he is over 25 years. Once you are 25 and over, except you are registered as part of the 25 man squad, you cannot feature in the league. But if you're less than 25, you can be drafted in from the B team and lower cadets.

If Rooney had said this, it would have made a lot of sense but Evra? my word!

Pharoh:
Castilla just played a 2-2 draw with alcoyano so they are out of the playoff games.

Mirandes, sevilla 2, guadalajara, badalona, alaves, real murcia and sabadell are through to the next round.

Alaves? damn! They've gone so low. . . They were in the UEFA Cup final in 2001. They narrowly lost 4-5 to Liverpool. Great team back then.
So you get to watch Castilla's matches? Nice

usbcable:
with the way we ended the season i was more confident for next season,
but with the buys, am not sure what the objective is again.

IMO, this team doesn't strengthening except you wanna sign Lionel Messi and the entire Barca XI. You can hardly any player out there better than what you already have.
You guys just need to promote some guys from the Castilla to add to what you already have.
I've seen Pablo Sarabia, the dude is something else.

montelik:
What can I say, but well done to you guys. That was a real master class. This is d type of football Abramovich wants but can't buy with all his millions.

While Messi will get most of d attention (and he does deserve it). Xavi is almost d textbook definition of a perfect midfielder, as well footballer. Never losses possession, completes pretty much all his passes and not just sideways and back-passes, but long range passes, diagonals and through balls. D guy never gets crowded out of d match, never looks flustered or under-pressure, play his way out of trouble perfectly, first rate movement and vision. I could go on and on. D guy must be d most efficient and effective central midfielder player over d last 5 years and possibly history. With a midfielder like Xavi, its easy for players like Messi to showcase his obvious skills endlessly and get most of d spotlight.

Congratulations once again.

Forget Pirlo, Xavi is the real metronome

The game between Al Ittihad and Sunshine Stars has been cancelled because of the crisis in Libya and will now be played over one leg at the Ijebu Ode Township Stadium.

switch, how far with the he-goat? suya, isi-ewu or what?

Messi joins the elite league of players to have scored in two champions league finals. He joins Raul Gonzalez and Barcelona legend, Samuel Eto'o.
Pep also joins the league of managers to have won two champions league trophies.

Mcleo007:
Did u guys notice that all 3 goals came off Van der sar's left? Nice home work by Pep. He's shown again his pedigree that he's no rooky in the game.

Abi lifting the trophy was such an emotional thing to watch. I almost broke in tears. Good one Culeans, more to go. Messi equals CR7 53 Goals,

For those thinking or scared Pep might leave; y'all got nuffin to panick over. He's staying longer than most thinkin.

Messi's goal tonight > CR's 53 goals

Giggs finally got the anonymity he craves for 90 minutes there

Villa's strike. . . what a way to retire VDS That was absolute class. . .
13 CL wins for La Liga makes it the most successful league in Europe as per CL.
