Sorry Vishwa. You're the man but still worth a try.
Some say he thinks Alex Ferguson is a swear word. Some say he has a bicycle kick that not even
Iker Casillas would have dared to stop. All we know is, he's called THE AQUAMAN.
- No Sir, not Carlton Parlmer
Sendros is quality I tell you.

Still reeling from the shock revelation that the word "gullible" had been removed from the
dictionary, we at AANP Towers were sent scrambling to our official panic stations yesterday as news
of ‘Arry's alleged departure spread like wildfire. The panic button was hit, the lights flashed
and the stern lady kept announcing "This is not a drill".

Well, that was about as much fun as being forced to sit through a Spuds player of the year
dinner wasn't it? Say what you like about the performance, fact is we won 1-0 despite playing worse
than we did against both Manchester clubs and coming away with absolutely nothing.
Fulham were the better team.

Barcelona back-up plan Cesc Fabregas and his girlfriend, Carla, have arrived in our favourite
city for a short holiday.
As you can see, Cesc decided the faux-hawk with bleach was a no go for NYC. Speaking of the
faux-hawk, the person to blame is Cesc's Spanish NT-mate, Gerard Pique.

Criticism of Newcastle United has long since passed from being some form of sport into being a
sadistic ritual, but their new change kit for next season is surely worthy of some comment. The
two-tone yellow striped number from Adidas has already been described as "custard and cream with
yellow shorts" (When Saturday Comes), "the worst football strip ever" (The Sunderland Echo, perhaps
unsurprisingly and a "garish orange and yellow stripe number" (The Sun) but, whilst it may well be
the worst offender of the summer, it certainly isn't the only terrible football kit that has been
designed over the last few months or so.

Apparently Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola motivated his players in the CL final against Manchester
United by showing them a video comparing it to the movie gladiator. The movie is now on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Dhj7KsEyQIt may be a strange way to motivate football players, but
hey, these players are all from a generation that has grown up with Hollywood blockbusters, so I am

Cruzeiro forward Kleber has claimed Liverpool are attempting to sign him.
The Brazilian striker ruled out moving to Anfield on Sunday, but yesterday performed a u-turn by
insisting negotiations were taking place and, according to local reports, the Reds would pay £6m
for his services.
When SporTV channel asked him whether he was going to play for the Merseysiders in the Barclays
Premier League, Kleber said: "I don't know yet.

Watch it and your bottom lip will wobble This is the real reason Barcelona won the CL final - a
cheesy, yet rather inspiring highlights package of Barca's stars in action, cut with footage from
Ridley Scott's Gladiator. (The final...

Our boy Gerard Pique was quite a favorite in the buildup to the Champions League final in Roma. As
a former Manchester United player, he had plenty to say about both teams, from claiming that he
knows all of Cristiano Ronaldo's tricks and that he's ready to deal with anything from the striker,
to talking about his DJing antics and the music he likes to play whenever Barca win.

FC Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola prior to his team taking the field in the Champions League
Final against Manchester United used some "Hollywood Magic" to inspire his team on to victory.
Guardiola along with Catalan journalist Santi Padro put together clips of each Barcelona player
showing their greatest moments on the pitch and then incorporated the clips into scenes from the
Russell Crowe movie Gladiator.

Let's do 'em bullet-style, that's always more fun.
- Xavi is the best. No surprise he's on the reigning European national team and club team
champion. There is not a player in the world I enjoy watching more. And only the post denied him
from a great goal.
- All the same praise goes to Iniesta.

Yes, Brazil continues to be in the Copa Libertadores what England is in the Champions League.
The quarter finals are almost defined - Boca Juniors and Defensor from Uruguay is the only battle
that still has to be decided. And from the 8 clubs in the next stage, 4 of them are Brazilian. What
makes it even more interesting is that the 4 Brazilian qualified are all previous champions of Copa
Libertadores.

Didier Drogba is the gladiator who acts like a toddler. So big and strong, yet he rolls around the
pitch like a naughty child having temper tantrums. I was a physical centre forward myself so I love
his ability, but I've had enough of his pathetic antics and I think Chelsea have, too. It's time to
cut him loose this summer.
