There has been a lot of debate about which club is the best in the world. Normally the two clubs
that people most talk about in this regard is Real Madrid and Manchester United. Both clubs have
achieved a lot in their history and are the number 1 clubs in their respective countries.
Manchester [.

I just want to make it clear quickly, that I'm not being petty here; I've got over Chelsea
winning the Champions League and this article is not intended to have a dig (I've done that more
than enough already), merely to have a look at something, admittedly kind of pointless, that
interests me.

"Ibra resta. Thiago non lo so", said Adriano Galliani according to the Corriere Dello Sport. In
English; ‘Ibra stays and Thiago, I do not know'. Indeed, worrying words from Uncle Fester.

summed it up nicely: "Thiago Silva is the best [.
Given all the previous history between Barcelona and Arsenal it is no wonder that both teams are
always trying to score points off each other in the transfer market. It doesn't look like that is
going to change in the near future according to a report this morning in the Catalan newspaper

La selección española de fútbol la actual campeona del mundo y Europea defenderá su trono en
Polonia y Ucrania durante la Eurocopa de naciones.
Todavía recordamos los lances de Iker Casillas, salvando a su equipo y atajando penales, a Xavi
como el jugador del equipo y a Iniesta derrochando calidad en el rectángulo verde, pero ¿se los
imaginan como los súper héroes del momento?
I know none of you can put this season behind you until we get this season review done and get
some player grades out as well. Perry got the review started, time to finish it. So here goes, part
two of the review, kind of. Really just my take on the most turbulent Arsenal season in recent
memory.
Messi has come out and has said that Barcelona's exit from the Champions League last season was
unfair because Barcelona dominated the possession and had almost triple the amount of chances that
Chelsea had on goal. That to me is a joke. Any Barcelona player talking about justice and fair play
is a joke.

Here's a bit of footage from Barcelona's 'Team Pep vs Team Tito' indoor tournament last night,

It's true. It's massive news.
I'm going on loan to Barcelona for the next 10 days. I've done a deal with the city whereby I'll
drink their beer, eat their food, swim in their sea and walk around the place in flip-flops until
it's time to return home. This is me and Mrs Blogs' first holiday for five years so we're kinda
looking forward to it.
It can often be as exciting on the pitch, with all the highs and lows a good match can bring. I
talk of the transfer market, of course. This summer, however, may not a particularly enjoyable one
for Milan. The club's resistance to overtures for Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pato and Thiago
Silva is set for [.

season with Barcelona, he made 29 [.

Spanish football daily, 'Marca', recently published a series of
adorable childhood photos featuring some of Spain's most prominent players to date. It's a
nostalgic glimpse into the beginning of Xabi Alonso and Mikel
Arteta's friendship, which started out when they both played for Basque amateur youth
side, Antiguoko, in San Sebastian and has remained strong till today.
Louis Van Gaal nos dijo un día, durante una reunión en el vestuario del Barcelona, que antes los
niños eran más felices porque no tenían que escoger. Como sólo tenían una cosa, no había
elección posible. Seguía diciendo el entrenador holandés que ahora los niños lo tienen más
difícil. Deben decidir qué escoger entre las miles de cosas que tienen.
Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi insists that the club's disappointing UEFA Champions League
exit at the hands of eventual winners Chelsea is behind him but maintains that the result was
unfair to the Spanish Cup winners.
Messi scored in last Friday's 3-0 rout of Athletic Bilbao to give outgoing manager Pep Guardiola
a positive farewell with the Copa Del Rey title but admits that defeat in other competitions has
left him hurting.
Get that notepad ready...According to the BBC and the likes of
@GuilemBalague Liverpool have just appointed Brendan Rodgers as their new manager after he agreed
to sign a three year contract.
It's been a long list of candidates but has been clear in the last couple of days that it was
between Wigan's Roberto Martinez and Swansea's Brendan Rodgers.
MARCO-DEPENDENCIA
Desde que se puso la negra de la selección (sin albur), "marquito" ha brillado en cada minuto
jugado. Genera futbol, da forma a las ideas, muestra el camino y hace los goles. Claro está que el
"10" en su espalda nadie se lo discute y mucho menos pelear.
6 de 7 goles, (el otro fue autogol).
Several months ago, I speculated that Robin Van Persie may leave Arsenal this summer. At the
time, I optimistically envisioned him heading to Barcelona. Why was that optimistic? Well, City had
not yet won a trophy, whereas Barcelona were on track to win a possible three. Also, David Villa
suffered from a serious injury.
Arsenal are weighing up a pre-season friendly proposal from Barcelona which would see the
Gunners...

"We announce the sad news that Lionel Messi died of a cardiac arrest during training
#RipMessi"
Those with a keen eye will notice that Lionel Messi is not dead, nor has he ever been to the
best of our knowledge.
I just spent ten days in Europe: Barcelona, Prague, Brussels and Madrid. I had originally planned
to try to go to Munich to the CL final, but when I could not get tickets, I went to Prague and
watched the final at the lovely and lively Old Square. It was on the same day where the Czech
Republic had played and lost to Slovakia in the semifinal of the hockey World Cup, so there was a

Spain's Valencia, which finished third in La Liga behind European giants Real Madrid and Barcelona,
have signed Mexican national team star midfielder Andres Guardado.
FIN DE UNA ERA
"Ni nos drogamos, ni nos tiramos, ni compramos a los árbitros": Piqué.
Qué manera de tocar, de moverse, de marear al rival, de presionar, de recuperar, uno tras otro,
es impresionante.
Da lo mismo si se enfrenta al más débil, al más odiado, al más grande o al campeón de la
liga más poderosa del mundo.
Real Madrid have won the La Liga title for the season 2011-2012 and on top of that, Barcelona have
won nothing this season except for Copa Del Ray which is another great news. Barcelone beat
Atletico Bilbao in the final so their Copa Del Ray is basically worthless. Essentially Barcelona
have won nothing in [.

El holandés Rafael van der Vaart nunca se ha llevado bien con el sueco Zlatan Ibrahimovic ni
siquiera cuando fueron compañeros de equipo en el Ajax de Holanda. La relación alcanzo su peor
punto cuando el sueco lesiono a Rafael van der Vaart en un partido amistoso en el 2004 entre Suecia
y Holanda.

Barcelona provided Pep Guardiola with the perfect sendoff by routing Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in
the Copa del Rey final on Friday night, the club's 14th trophy in four seasons under its most
successful coach.
Pedro Rodriguez scored in the third and 25th minutes, and Lionel Messi ended his record-setting
season with his 73rd goal in the 20th minute.
There's nothing like a Copa del Rey 'fiesta!' to send Pep Guardiola off and Barcelona pulled it
off in typical fashion yesterday after a 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
"We had a very good year, we won four titles and winning this cup gives them better value,"
Guardiola said. "I'm happy to close out the season this way.
How hard do we try to fit the Sounders offensive woes into our preconceived narrative? Fans of
teams like Barcelona and Brazil see the Rave Green as too direct. Fans of Fucito, Nyassi and other
speedsters see a lack of that now. There still isn't a traditional target man, as Eddie Johnson
drifts wide and prefers the ball at his feet unless he's banging in a cross.
