After yesterday's shocking discovery where it was revealed Bracelona ace Lionel
Messi had Arsenal DNA flowing through his system, Barcelona's big guns are reported to be quite
angry and have since hit back furiously at Arsenal. It is ‘understood' (via an ‘inside' source)
that Laporta, in a fit of rage, smashed the trophy cabinets and cursed the ‘horrible' club that
is Arsenal to hell.

Move along now pessoas, there's nothing dodgy about Messiah's
Barcelona contract. So stop flashing him mean, accusatory looks!
Apparently, FIFPro weren't too happy about Senor Laporta and his bow-tie
wearing ways. They're questioning the validity of the contract, which binds tipo here to
the club till 2015.

Welcome to another week of the Interlull but at least we can begin to see the light at the end
of the tunnel.
And with that light at the end of that tunnel we could see, for example, Barcelona's Txiki
Begiristain and use that light to ensure that our punches got him right in his stupid, big
snout.

Los Cules strolled to a comfortable 4-1 win over Racing last night thanks to a double
from the Messiah and two additional goals from Pique and Ibracadabra. What else
did you expect? For Puyolita to bag a hat-trick of own goals? That won't be happening
anytime soon!

Eto'o scatenato e, in questo caso, non parliamo di
calcio giocato e di
Serie A. Il camerunense mette da parte i sentimenti, da sempre avuti nei confronti
del club blaugrana amato per cinque lunghi anni (2004-2009, 108 i gol realizzati), e muove guerra
al
Barcellona di
Laporta per essere stato "scaricato" senza troppi patemi d'animo.

Esta semana Manucho, reciente fichaje del Real Valladolid, anunciaba a bombo y platillo que su
objetivo era "marcar entre 30 y 40 goles esta temporada". Un angoleño que tuvo demasiada prisa por
triunfar en el Manchester United y que ahora acude con el orgullo tocado a un equipo clásico, pero
sin grandeza, en busca del pan y la sal futbolística debería mantener la lengua enjaulada
mientras afila sus espadas en pos de una temporada tranquila para los de Pucela.

Barça player next season! Not surprising as he's been on the radar of some of the
