Real Madrid mouthpiece Marca has officially become El Sun. The Madrid rag relegated the news of Lio Messi winning the Balon D'Or on their front page to mentioning that the Merengue players were attacked by "an organized group of fans"with lasers. This affected both Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.

Robinho drives me cowshit crazy. There's no 'I' in team, but appropriately, there is an 'I' right in the middle of Robinho. All that skill and yet he wastes it like confetti it's an insult to his Man City team-mates and the club's fans.

The Brazilian must be one of the most selfish players I've ever seen in the Premier League.

After Barcelona's 1-0 win over Real Madrid last Sunday, Barca president Joan Laporta (pictured above, right) let his hair down by partying HARD at the exclusive Luz de Gas nightclub.

AS reports that Laporta danced with a string of young women and swigged from €100 bottles of MUMM champagne not all of the bubbly ended up in his mouth, as by the end of the night his suit was liberally covered in the stuff.

Barcelona may reign in Spain when it comes to the Beautiful Game on the pitch. But rivals Real Madrid have taken the battle to a different front by designing a sexy range of underwear. No longer will fans have to be content with a replica jersey, scarf, mug or key-ring, supporters will soon be able to buy boxer shorts, slips, bras and knickers.

While most of this past week's attention was focused on the final group stage matches of the UEFA Champions League, a lower profile tournament kicked off in the United Arab Emirates.

The FIFA Club World Cup began this past Wednesday, and with three matches already played, the seven-team tournament's semifinals are set.

The Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has had enough of Barcelona continually tapping up Cesc Fabregas, and thinks that there should be some way of stopping the Spanish giants from making their weekly claims that want to bring the Arsenal captain back to Spain. The last time Laporta announced he would be making a massive bid for [.

Ayayay, Joan Laporta celebro la victoria de Barcelona sobre Real Madrid como si fuese su cumpleaños. Laporta se desahogo en la discoteca barcelonesa 'Luz de Gas' y estuvo festejando hasta las 3:30 am. En un momento hasta se hecho una botella de champan por todo su cuerpo y se puso a bailar la Viva La Vida de Coldplay con una mujer que facil pasaba como su hija.

Barcelona came through and won the Copa del Rey last season after a drought and now to defend their title they will need to go through some very murky/shark-infested waters to even get back to the final. As the draw came out the Catalans found that repeating is MUCH harder than winning.

Standing in their way is Sevilla and Valencia.

Wenger has also lined up the unsettled Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic in his crosshairs, with a view to bringing the youngest player ever to score for Barcelona (17 years and 51 days, since you asked so nicely) in as cover for the injured striker Robin van Persie.

I'm with Terrell, this whole exiting the Champions League thing sucks. And I love my quarterback too. But strictly in the platonic sense. So what if I'm the center?

In case you haven't heard, or haven't been subjected to the suffocating coverage of Liverpool's failures thus far in Europe, today marks the end of Liverpool's Champions League campaign.

Tiger Woods isnt the only one to be linked with porn stars this week, Birmingham City have signed Slovakian international Jan Novak. Although the 24-year-old has scored 39 goals in 90 appearances for Kosice, including 11 this season, they are ready to cash in on a player likely to cost around £2million.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta, Europe's undisputed King of the Shit Stirrers, says Barcelona will decide in March how much money to offer Arsenal for Cesc Fabregas.

Laporta has reiterated his desire to sign the Arsenal skipper next summer amid rumours that Barca will offer £40m for the 22-year-old midfielder.

The Premier League form book torn up, possibly the best team in the World ever! Big teams going through sticky patches and a greedy footballer all feature in this week's the good, the bad and the ugly section of the podcast.

Ola Futbolitas! Many of you may not know this (and a few amici still tease us about it) but last December, we interviewed Greaseano himself aka Cristiano Ronaldo via phone from Japan). And yes, he was nice and sent us his autographed book so we've been pretty mean calling him names.

Esta noticia esta dando vueltas en la cabeza de muchos aficionados al fútbol mundial.
Todos saben el maravilloso año del Barcelona con Guardiola al frente, pero todoso saben que su contrato termina pronto, por lo cual se rumoraba su salida , ahora la nota bomba es la del regreso de Josep Guardiola al futbol mexicano y al equipo que le dio la oportunidad y que en su momento fallo:

El "pep" con 34 años llegaba al futbol mexicano para demostrar que no era un "cartucho quemado" y que todavía quedaba algo de ese campeón de Europa con el Barcelona y mundialista con España.

Well it has been one of the hottest transfer rumors of the fall, but it appears that iconic Brazilian forward Robinho will stay in England despite the transfer window opening back up this January. And Robinho has made his fair share of comments interested in a move back to La Liga. In fact for awhile there it looked like there was no way Robinho would stay with City claiming that playing for Barcelona would be a dream come true.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi became the first Ballon D'Or winner from Argentina last night, eclipsing runner up Cristiano Ronaldo (last year's winner) by a 240 - point margin.
Of the 10 finalists, 7 players ply their trade outside of the English Premier League - which got me thinking, who would you love to see come over from the continent to join arguably the greatest league in the world?

The agent of Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has told Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal to make them an offer.
The midfielder, 26, younger brother of City's Kolo, has failed to nail down a regular spot in Barca's first-team this season and could be on his way for £10million.

As expected Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or 2009 by a substantial margin. The Barcelona and Argentina star succeeds Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the trophy last year after helping Manchester United to glory in the 2008 Champions League. Ronaldo finished runner-up this time around. Messi won an unprecedented treble last season as the Catalan side [.

Barca president Joan Laporta sat beside Real Madrid president Florentino Perez during his side's El Clasico win on Sunday, so he had to be somewhat respectful during the match. But as the picture above shows, he apparently partied his balls off afterwards popping bottles like P. Diddy on a bender.

The Portuguese was right to say he was special, but his argumentation was wrong. It is incredible how someone so incompetent earns nine million Euros per season. Anyone with an ounce of honour would have resigned and went on to be a gym teacher after what happened on Tuesday.
