Word on the wind is that former Barcelona president Joan Laporta, now a member of the Catalan
parliament, is angling for re-election after being succeeded by Sandro Rosell a couple of years ago
and one woman is doing her damnedest to make it happen, that woman being Spanish porn star Maria
Lapiedra.
Andres Iniesta got married to his long-term partner Xavi Anna Ortiz in a big ol' castle over the
weekend and an endless slew of footballing talent turned out for the occasion; with European and
World champions, Barca teammates past and present and even club president Sandro RosellÂ
congregating in Tarragona for the wee fella's big day.
Lionel Messi's 202 Goals For Barcelona In 12 Minutes - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
All of Messi's 202 goals scored for Barcelona (2005-2011), in a simple, no-frills video. After
the constant adulation, it is still ridiculous how good is really is.
Of course, when you're playing with the likes of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry and Iniesta, it gets a
bit easier.
There's something about saying goodbye in football they're a lot more bittersweet than one could
ever expect. On Saturday night, when it was all said and done, Pep Guardiola
stayed behind with his entire family to take in the incredible atmosphere of the Nou
Camp as Barca coach for the last time.
For the first time since the 2001-2002 season, Manchester United will not play in a cup final,
after losing to Athletic Bilbao over both legs.
The Spaniards were just better than us. Much better than us in fact. It makes a mockery of Sir
Alex Ferguson's comments last month about how good this current squad is.

This is not the first time Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is defending himself against claims of
forcing out players he dislikes. After taking over from Frank Rijkaard in 2008, Guardiola made it
very clear that Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco would no longer be part of his plans as coach of the
Catalans.
Every summer, there seem to be more and more quality players offloaded from the big spending
clubs. As these big money clubs are constantly trying to make a splash in the transfer market, some
really good players are often pushed out the door. I think this is happening more often now than
ever, due to clubs like Man City, Chelsea, and the Spanish giants.
Zambia's fairy tale run in the African Cup of Nations ended with them sensationally beating hot
favourites Ivory Coast 8-7 on post match penalties to win their maiden AFCON trophy.
In a match attended by football legends Pele, Michel Platini amongst other and beamed to
millions across the continent and the world, there was doubt that the Chipolopolo were the better
side on the night.
Today I am prostituting myself and as the title would suggest, I am appealing to the Asian
Market for my "Hits". Now that I am a record breaking AA Poster, I would like to move swiftly on
to today's topic. Total Football and The Wenger Way. At this point, I am about to drop a bomb on
some heads, and would therefore urge the likes of TA to "Tin Hat Up".
Over the last day or two, I have been alluding to the latest of my brilliant ideas. The beauty
about this one is that I have unearthed not only the cause of our troubles but also the solution.
The other day Mike talked about Eto on RA's excellent post about Wengerball, and between them, I
thought they were going to steal my thunder.
The Eto'o mega deal has put Anzhi Makhachkala on the map, but what sort of reception

Wesley Sneijder has today confirmed that he was close to joining Manchester United this
summer.
"I had felt that a move was close, yes," Sneijder said to Dutch newspaper AD. "There were talks
on several occasions. The situation was that Inter had to sell a player Eto'o or me. There was
interest, but due to a combination of things, it didn't happen.
L'anno scorso, in un post del 19 aprile dal titolo "L'Inter ha l'antidoto contro il Barça",
scrissi che la squadra guidata da Mou, avrebbe potuto avere la meglio contro i blaugrana in
champions league. L'Inter superò le semifinali e poi contro un Bayern Monaco chirurgicamente
privato di Ribery, ebbe vita facile per alzare il trofeo più importante che mancava sulla sponda
nerazzurra da 45 anni.

Sky Italia has nailed the preseason advertising market with some holy commercials designed to
highlight the miracle that is calcio. Or miracle that it, despite the constant shitstorm, still
stands as a structure.
Ambrosini, Mauri, Eto'o and a Totti statue in one, while Andrea Pirlo dons stripes (or trades a

Schalke completed a memorable victory at Inter Milan, twice coming from behind en route to a
comprehensive win that leaves them on the verge of a place in the Champions League semi-finals for
the first time.
An end to end match got off to a remarkable start as Milito raced on to a fine through ball by
Esteban Cambiasso only to be denied by Manuel Neuer, who showed great presence of mind to race out
of his area and head away.

After Milan's and Roma's eliminations from Europe's top flight competition, the peninsula looks
solely to the nerazzurri to fly the Italian flag. The club finds itself in the same position as its
crosstown rivals did against the Spurs, going into the second leg with a 1-0 home loss to
overcome.
Bayern Munich will not be an easy opponent if this past weekend is any indication, as they
thumped Hamburger SV 6-0 at home.
Adesso non ci sono più dubbi: Giampaolo Pazzini è dell'Inter. L'ex attaccante di Sampdoria e

Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o has been handed a three game suspension for
his Zidane like head-butt on Chievo defender Cesar last month.
However he has escaped the 30,000 euro fine originally given to him by the Italian FA.
Eto'o resta a secco ma l'Anzhi riesce, anche se soffrendo, a piegare l'Honved (decisivo il sigillo
