We have a new Caveman (that’s his name now, because I don’t know about you but I’ll never be able to spell his name without looking it up every time).
I have no idea how good/bad this guy actually is because I didn’t really pay attention to him when we played Shakhtar last season for our [...]

Samuel Eto’o, one of the great strikers of his generation, is moving to pastures new after 5 seasons in which he scored 130 goals in 200 appearances. Our indomitable lion has scored more goals than all but two players in the history of FC Barcelona (and Rivaldo, with whom he is tied) and scored a [...]

It’s the season! Pep Guardiola is back, and the world has blown up, thanks to his press conference. Here’s everything, so live it up! This is a cut-and-paste from the official site, and my comments will be in bold. I’ll think up some fancy piccie later but for now, off we go.

Random bits n’ nits:
Watched Fox Soccer Report last night, and as part of the cable footy program’s report on the Barca/Inter deal, they quoted a club official to the effect of if the deal doesn’t happen, Eto’o would be a “big part” of the club’s plans this season.
As Spider-Man had his Spidey Sense, Baby Kxevin [...]
Maxwell comes home, a.k.a. “Take THAT, Lendoiro!”
By: Kevin | 42 Comments
Maxwell Cabelino Andrade is official, everyone, with a Miniestadi presentation and everything. And yes, the presentation would have been at the Camp Nou, but it’s being rehabbed. And no, not all presentations happen at the Camp Nou.
Hleb was presented at La Masia, though apparently he still isn’t sure what those words mean, just that some [...]

A quick-and-dirty rundown:
–A loan deal for Hleb, the Disgruntled Belorussian, going to Inter Milan might be the other shoe falling in the Maxwell deal. The final bit of the puzzle is Hleb’s consent. Here’s hoping his Italian is as good as his Whining.

–Barca [...]

Sport is reporting that the Monday meeting with Villa and Llorente et al, will almost certainly unlock the doors for Villa to make his move to us.
Of course it is Sport, which has only a little bit of lean, right?
El Mundo Deportivo is a little more reserved, saying there will be a meeting, in which [...]

Despatches and other craziness from the world at large:
–El Mundo Deportivo says that on Monday, Villa will try his hand at sorting out his situation, and either crap or get off the pot, with an eye toward havng this all sorted by week’s end. Wonder what Goal.com has to say about their “exclusive?”

Everybody….”Ommm, ommm.” Now breathe deep. Deeeeper….

Okay. Better now? Good.
On the other side of Spain, there’s this club that is spending money like running water. In Catalunya, there’s this club that is relaxing, and basking in the afterglow of the unprecedented triplete.
Like the meditating Buddha in this picture, that club is calm. Why?
Because it can be. We should be, as [...]
