Yesterday there were reports in Spain that Arsenal's Flying Dutchman had a controversial interview
with Marca. He apparently said: "I am grateful to hear about the interest of a club as important as
Real Madrid." For the Gunners it is definitely disturbing that their captain, Van Persie is so
openly talking about the opportunity to [.

The Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has today hinted at a summer move to Real Madrid after
admitting that he would be excited about the prospect of playing for the La Liga side. Speaking to
the Spanish daily Marca, the Dutch striker had this to say: "I like knowing the interest of Real
Madrid and [.
Luis Suarez And so the villain enters stage left. After nine games out, Luis Suarez returned for
twenty minutes on Monday, but it will be his second game that will raise the intrigue this Premier
League weekend. Suarez announced this week that Manchester United fans booing him would simply make
him play better, but one [.
Welcome to the Friday Crackovia Club, where it's always a party in
here before the weekend! Of course, Crackovia is one of the most craziest football
sketch shows from Catalonia and this week was all about Barcelona's quest
to slow down Madrid using some insane dressing room rituals.
09.02.2012 - «La verdad es que he tenido mucha suerte»,
resume Jose P. (26), el empresario barcelonés que terminó clavado.
Jugando para su equipo, el de la
Peña Sang Culé del Barcelona (vs Club Cornellá) por la
división Preferente en el pabellón municipal (del barrio) de Sant Ildefonso de Cornellá de
Llobregat (Barcelona) se encontró con una desagradable sorpresa.
The yearly list of football club annual revenue is out yet again and the gap between the two
Spanish behemoths and the rest of the field is growing ever wider. Despite the trophy success of
last year, Barcelona has lost the financial Clasico to Real Madrid...yet again (lucky number seven
in a row) and it wasn't terribly close.

The U.S. men's national team's rumored friendly against Brazil has been confirmed, and
FedExField will be the site for its location.
In preparation for World Cup qualifying, the United States will host Brazil on May 30 at the
home of the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md.
As the old cliché goes, history repeats itself. And this could not be truer come every February
for Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Whether at Barcelona or in the blue or red half of Milan, the
‘big' Swede's scoring record often leaves something to be desired at this time of the year.
Goals, to be precise.
Spanish club Real Madrid has for the seventh consecutive year topped the football rich list this
is according to auditing and financial advisory firm Deloite &Touche. Madrid posted a turnover of
£433m for the 2010/2011 season to finish first ahead of arch rivals and fellow Spanish side
Barcelona who came in second with revenues of £407m.
Buenas! The realists and statisticians among you won't be surprised that Barcelona
defeated the very loveable Valencia 2-0 last night. But as it seems, Madrid are
frontrunners to win the La Liga, so el Blaugranas will be hoping to take home their 26th
Spanish Cup title title.
Cesc Fabregas and Xavi guide Barcelona to their 12th Copa Del Rey final. Leo Messi had a hand in
both goals. Gol TV's inimitable Ray Hudson, "Messi, like a gazelle through the
cheetahs" couldn't have said it better. They meet Athletic Bilbao in the final most likely on
25th May.
Barcelona are through to the Copa Del Rey final where they will play Athletic Bilbao after a 2-0
win over Valencia at the Camp Nou. Goals by Cesc Fabregas and a late strike by midfield maestro
Xavi helped seal a 2-0 win (3-1 on aggregate) for the Spanish champions. Pep Guardiola's men will
now face [.

Some areas of the press are suggesting that it hasn't been such a stellar year for Gareth Bale
in comparison with last season. Those reports tend to just point to the winger's hat trick in the
San Siro but they conveniently forget that this has been a much more consistent campaign for the
Welshman.
Pep Guardiola took a leaf out of Bastian Schweinsteiger's
Basketball Book over the week and watched a game with his children Marius and Maria (above). Of
course, the only game on his mind tonight is Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-final against
Valencia when his newly crowned "Laureus World Team of the Year" take
them on in the Nou Camp.

It is being reported this morning that the Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has been pinpointed by
Arsenal as the perfect replacement for Robin Van Persie if he is sold to Barcelona this summer.
There have been rumblings for some time that Sturridge is not happy being left out on the wing at
Stamford Bridge, despite [.
It is now emerging that Neymar will not be leaving Santos after all. Premier League club Chelsea
have confirmed that they have ended their pursuit for the teen star after he committed his future
to Santos until 2014.
Villas-Boas revealed that his side have failed in trying to sign Neymar and that he has already
chosen his next destination which will most likely be Barcelona.
The World Wildlife Fund wants Messi to wear a Real Madrid jersey for a day
If I supported Real Madrid, I'd be pumping up my bike tires as I type this. In an effort to
spread awareness for Earth Hour, which is an hour of "uniting people to protect the planet", the
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has celebrities teaming up with the organization to help spread awareness
of Earth Hour and promote sustainable habits.

Fox Soccer has an FA Cup Fourth Round replay: Middlesbrough - Sunderland at 3pm. This is a
Northeast derby, so there's that angle. The original game ended 1-1 at Sunderland's Stadium of
Light. Copa del Rey on GolTV: Barcelona - Valencia at 3pm in the second-leg of their semifinal
series. They drew 1-1 in the opener.
#AupaMirandes (Come on Mirandés!)
Miracle is the word that comes to mind as Mirandes go to Bilbao in the second leg of the Copa
del Rey semi-final. Marcelo Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao won 2-1 at Mirandes' Estadio Anduva last week,
and the odds are overwhelming leaning towards them to reach the final, where they'll play Barcelona
or Valencia.
Athletic Bilbao midfielder Oscar de Marcos insists his side will show Mirandes total respect on
Tuesday night as the two clubs clash in the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Athletic, whose record of 23 Copa titles is second only to Barcelona (25), are favourites
heading into the semi-final second leg after earning a 2-1 lead from last week's first meeting at
Mirandes' Anduva stadium.
The accolades keep coming for Pep Guardiola's Barcelona as they were yesterday named the Laureus
team of the year. Here is what Barcelona President Sandro Rosell had to say after the award
ceremony:
"The nominations of Abidal, Messi and the club are an honour, and it will help us keep on
working and thinking about how to keep up this level in the future.
A pitch invasion took center stage during the first half at Anfield this evening, if only
because no one else could. There's something in here about the cat being more productive than Andy
Carroll, too.
Also, it already has at least three Twitter accounts. Of course. (One of them.)
Another cat, a black one, bolted across the Camp Nou pitch this weekend, possibly an ominous
harbinger for their title defense.
Welcome to a slightly late edition of La Liga Lunes (La Liga Monday!)
Over the weekend, the Women's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Homare Sawa

FC Barcelona vs. Brazil in 1999 - The Full Match
The beginning of the week is never enjoyable, but let's lessen the dosage of suffering with a
glorious find on Youtube. 1999 was FC Barcelona's centenary year and the whole season was quite
the celebration of everything FC Barcelona.
The Spanish giants Barcelona have been continually linked with a move for the Arsenal captain Robin
Van Persie, and the player himself has often stated that the only other club that he would like to
play for is Cesc Fabregas' team. So if the Flying Dutchman decides that he wants to move on this

I'm willing to bet your gut reaction to the news that Sergio Busquets got well and truly
knobbled in a challenge with Real Sociedad's Carlos Martinez during the home side's 2-1 win at the
Nou Camp last night was somewhere along the lines of 'what goes around, comes around' but that
doesn't make the deep laceration that the Barca midfielder suffered any less grotesque.
Real Madrid kept their 7 point lead ahead at the top of La Liga after a 1-0 win over Getafe as
Barcelona beat Real Sociedad 2-1. Sergio Ramos' goal proved decisive at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez
whilst at the Camp Nou, a youthful Barcelona side held out for a well deserved 2-1 win over Real

We've all made jokes about Sergio Busquets' habit of falling down and clutching his face for no
good reason, but this time it was his knee and he wasn't faking.
A mere seven minutes after entering Barcelona's 2-1 win over Real Sociedad in the 76th minute,
Busquets was accidentally stepped on by Carlos Martinez, opening up a deep gash under his right
knee.

Carles Puyol pulled off an incredible double roulette during Barcelona's 1-1 Copa Del Rey 1st leg
draw with Valencia in a move which mimicked French legend Zinedine Zidane Classy stuff from the
Barca centre-back who put in a superb display for Pep Guardiola's men. It was one of them 'did I
just see that?
Two years ago it was Cristiano Ronaldo gazing into a hand mirror, Last year it was Jose Mourinho
kicking Pep Guardiola in the junk, but at midnight this March 19 Valencia's Las Fallas festival
will stay with that Jose-on-Barca violence by burning a giant paper mache version of Mourinho
poking Tito Vilanova in the eyeball.
