The superb run of form that has lifted humble Real Mallorca to fourth in La Liga faces a stiff test
when Gregorio Manzano's side travel to the Bernabeu to face Real Madrid on Sunday. Undefeated
leaders Barcelona, who were held 1-1 at home by Villarreal last weekend and have a two-point
advantage over Real, will be without striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic when they play at promoted Tenerife
on Sunday.
Last week Daryl offered up his 10 Footballers Who Defined The Decade you may remember it as the
post featuring that stunningly cinematic photo of Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo 1.0 looking back on the
oh-oh's and the footballers who made it what it was. They weren't all the best players of the
decade [.
Want to tell an annoyingly vociferous fan to pipe down? A casual slap in the back of the head
will suffice.
WARNING: This tactic may only work if you're one of the most famous players in the world.
The shocked fan's reply appears to have been along the lines of: "Hey Messi, I've paid for my
ticket, I can say what the hell I want!
2009 has been a year like none before.
Barcelona hit the 'sextuple', Cristiano Ronaldo was sold for around 80m, some big nations
struggled to qualify for the World Cup, Theirry Henry's 'hand of the French god' sparked arguments
and England felt that the Irish were cheated, etc.
And not just in football; 2009 changed the whole world forever.
Barcelona get an immediate chance to avenge their Copa del Rey defeat to Sevilla when they play
them at the Nou Camp this weekend. In contrast, whereas Barca are now out of the cup, they are
still sitting pretty in La Liga with a two-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table.

From Barcelona's 1-1 draw with Villarreal on Saturday Zlatan Ibrahimovic apparently took it upon
himself to deliver a bit of stompy retribution on the foot of Diego Godin after he dared to take
the ball off one of Ibra's teammates in the 88th minute. It seems Godin didn't get the memo that
you're not supposed to interfere with Barca players as they display the majestic wonder of their
beautiful football, which, in case you haven't heard, won them six trophies last year.
The hosts managed to blow a four goal lead in fifteen minutes to share a point with Mali;
Angola were leading 4-1 with two minutes left, then Freddy Kanoute
(Sevilla), Sadou Keita (Barcelona) and Mustapha
Yatabare (Clermont Foot Auvergne 63 in France's Ligue 2) scored to level the
game, with the last two goals coming in four minutes of injury time.

Its been about 3 weeks since 2009 ended and looking back, it was a memorable year. We know the
events and the stars that made it memorable and people think about the team of the year, or player
of the year, or coach of the year, and so on. Its now time to crown Pep Guardiola with a bigger
title, the best coach/manager in all sports.

Not much new stuff around the Arsenal camp with the exception of the health of Denilson. He went
down in the middle of the game seemingly in a lot of pain. However, immediately after the game, the
Brazilian was full of confidence that he would feature in this weekend's game. Next to that is the

Here we are, finally back at full speed. Well, almost, anyway. We don't have the Argentine
Clausura or Brazilian Serie A yet, but we do have the Torneo de Verano and Paulista League. Almost
all of the European Leagues are back in action, save Russia, which won't start for several weeks
yet. Nevertheless, we're pretty damn close.

Al fin hay buenas noticias en los casos de Giovani Dos Santos y Nery
Castillo, en donde parece que el fútbol les está sonriendo nuevamente y al menos
tendrán nuevos equipos a quienes representar(o al menos eso es lo que parece).
En el caso de Gio su situación pinta de lo mejor, ya que se dice que está amarrado con el
Galatasaray de Turquía y tanto la directiva turca como el
Tottenham, cerraran un acuerdo para prestar al atacante por lo que resta de la
campaña.

that seemingly flew by so quickly.
Liverpool announced that Glen Johnson will miss at least a month after tearing a knee ligament.
It may be paradoxical to claim this for a recent £18m signing, but Johnson's absence may aid the
Reds in their battle for fourth.
Johnson is an attacking right back. He's adept.
Cashley Cole, asi llamaron a este jugador despues de su traspaso al Chelsea en el 2006, y si,
aparece en esta lista
Hace poco mas de un año poníamos la lista con los 100 jugadores mejor pagados del mundo,

ingleses estaban al tope de la lista, el quinto, que en esa ocasión si fue malo, era el
francés Henry, esperamos y en esta lista no haya mano negra.

After unsuccessful stints with Manchester United and Chelsea, Juan Sebastian Veron first
returned to the club he came up with as a youth player, Estudiantes, on loan in 2006, before making
the move permanent in 2007. Since his return, he has won the 2009 Copa Libertadores, finished
runners-up to Barcelona at the Club World Cup, and won South American Footballer of the Year each
of the last two years.
He impressed the Arsenal manager and also the fans with his outstanding display in the Emirates cup
and pre-season matches early in the season but now he looked set to leave the club this summer.
Reports said that Merida has already agreed a new contract offered by Arsenal last summer but is
yet to sign it.

Ah Señor Pep, there's no need to start worrying! It's only
January no one's in the mood to start work yet, everyone's still eating chocolates

two amigos in Italy, Mourinho and Leoooonardo.
The Roscón de Reyes is traditionally eaten on Epiphany, January 6. A round, candied sweet
bread, there is a hidden "Jesus doll" inside the bread, and the person who ends up with the doll is
crowned "King of the Day."
Only the players know whether Los Magos (The Magi) left them with treats or a lump of
coal in their shoes on Epiphany, but with this weekend's matches upcoming, they can begin the
process of maintaining their good form or making up for their naughty play from last year.

side might win blooming everything in 2009. Much to the surprise of faith-less Pep, they did. They
won absolutely everything.

Philadelphia Union is a brand new team to the MLS. They have revealed their new kit. It's black and
brown. Enough said. Who comes up with this??? You have the ability to come up with something
creative like Barca's neon orange or Seattle lime green and turquiose swirl. If you have the
ability to distinguish yourself from every other sports team make it count.
