Kickettes, do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Whether or not a three-wish-granting genie pops out, I'd like to rub David Beckham's silver statue bulge.

Look, its a bird , its a plane ...its Super MESSI. This photo was taken by FC BARCELONA Captain Carles Puyol yesterday at training, & yes, it is NOT Victor Valdes. The goalie in action is LIONEL MESSI who was "piss-farting-around" & having a laugh. Not bad indeed, not only can the man put in 5 goals in a single match but at training fly like Superman & stop almost certain training goals.

It was not known which teams have been interested in the 19-year-old Agudelo but at least one Eastern Conference team and two from the Western Conference made trade overtures.

If the "news filtration" out by Spanish Sports Barcelona based paper "Sport" is correct, FC BARCELONA fans should begin saving their money for the new uniform that will be official next season: 2012-2013. Below is an image/s of the new design/s that signals that if you just forked out 90€-110€ for the current uniform, you will be shortly "old school".

Spanish & Madrid regional TV , "Telemadrid", has added fuel to the ..."when will FC BARCELONA Coach Josep Guardiola renew his contract with Barça fire", claiming that one of the big reasons for the delay is defender GERARD PIQUE.

Das Revierderby ist jedes Jahr aufs neue eines der sportlichen Hightlights im Ruhrgebiet und da ist es natürlich nur logisch, dass man so ein Spiel auch mal auf Bild festhält.

We've been waiting four years to use a headline that could rival our wordsmithing of 2008, and by golly do these pics make it all seem worth it.

I actually enjoy this period of the end of the Football season & summer time. Apart from the warmer weather & longer sunny days, the numerous Football transfer rumours that one wakes up to everyday. Toure The latest Spanish Football transfer rumour is the apparent interest ( denied by the Club involved ) shown by MANCHESTER CITY midfielder & ex FC Barcelona player YAYA TOURE towards REAL

"We applauded them (Real Madrid ) when they won, this is just Sport after all. We have been very respectful with them (Real Madrid ) at all times, even when they won the Spanish League, when they won the Spanish Cup in Mestalla ... We were very respectful with them.

Bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to write the next chapter in their storied Clasico history as they meet in the opening leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (4 p.m., GOLTV/ESPN3.com).

While Barcelona is looking for revenge in this tournament after being beaten by Madrid in last year's final, it is Madrid that is looking to try to even the overall score.

REAL MADRID is the talk of the Spanish Football scene for all the wrong reasons. You may think being 5 points in front of their rival in the LIGA calssification table & up there in Champions would be motive for some good vibes, however it is not the case. There is an apparent dressing room split between Coach Mourinho & some "heavyweight Spanish players", a inside "rat" that filters news to media
