Match fixing in football is, unfortunately, nothing new. Some may even say it's par for the course,
particularly if we're talking about Eastern European football (Romania & Poland, I'm lookin' at
you). Oh, and Italy - Serie A has rivaled the WWE for legitimacy this decade. Even England has
failed to go unscathed, with a [.
A fresh batch of rumours to warm the cockles of your heart.... Barcelona have finally come to terms
with the fact that Cesc Fabregas won't we swooping back into Catalan lives like a glorious midfield
boomerang, as director Txiki Begiristain grumbled: "he cannot return". (Various) ...Barcelona have
now turned to the even less available Cristiano Ronaldo, and [.
This year when Real Madrid face quality opponents they always play well, when they play teams like
Levante who they should rack up at least 4 goals on, they turn into Casillas, Robinho, Ruud, Pepe,
Ramos & the 'hijos de puta que no pueden hacer ni mierda'. Against Levante, it was worse, they
turned into Pepe, Ruud and the 'sin verguenzas'.
Photo, Shoot is a new feature at Just-Football, looking at football photography from around the
world. We hope it will become a regular feature on the site and of course welcome any contributions
which, for all you budding sports photographers out there, can be emailed to

celebrating his hat-trick in the 5-1
Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón gave his support to the Levante striking players in
a radio interview, describing the situation as "sad, because the players have shown
professionalism, honesty and dignity playing a great many games when they had not been paid. They
have beaten sides who did not have those worries and that have all my respect, affection and
support and that of Real Madrid.
The Levante players, confirmed at a press conference today that they had called off their strike
and would play the last game of the season at the Bernabéu tonight. The players, who have not
trained all week, have been asking for all their unpaid salary contributions over the past couple
of seasons to be guaranteed and were using the game against Real Madrid as a very visible platform
for their
It was more than the kickabout that was feared when the Levante players went on strike earlier in
the week, though there was not a great deal of tension on the pitch with nothing competitive to
play for from either side. The game was on, the party atmosphere was palpable from before kick-off
and continued until the final whistle.
Parece como si las estrellas del fútbol hubieran aprovechado la inauguración de nuestro
"Gilicórner" para empezar a hacer el tonto. Y es que esta semana tenemos dónde
elegir. Valdés, Cirillo, Lopera o Borriello son algunos de los protagonistas de las
anécdotas más curiosas y variopintas de los últimos días en el mundo del
deporte rey.

I'm keeping this one short as I battle a torrid head cold that just won't go away ... the
players better not catch anything either, as evidenced by the picture above which shows Marchena
and Villa enjoying the wet conditions at Paterna.
They're needed. Me? Not so much, as the great comments on the site more than
make up for the blog.
Real Madrid's clash against Zaragoza on Sunday ended up as a mere anecdote, at least for the team
from the capital, as it emerged that the last game of the season may not be played. The
relegation-bound Levante players are threatening to go on strike, and thus potentially spoiling
Real's planned end-of-season party, as they have not been paid for several months.
Ahh, sweet glorious relief ... how wonderful it is!
The weight of the world has been lifted off our shoulders.
The birds are chirping. The sun is shining. The flowers smell wonderful and the effervescent coffee
in the next room beckons us to enjoy the day ...
Ok, it's really cold, windy and rainy here in New York City this morning.
Have you ever known that the percentage of outlandish news and rumors seems to spike during
international breaks? You know, stuff like finding Cesc & Sergio Ramos dotting Milan's lineup next
year. Or seeing Juventus switch their interest from one Merseyside-based Spaniard (Xaba) to another
(Rafa).
Una grabación sacada a la luz entre Iñaki Descarga y Julio Romero así lo atestigua.

último encuentro de aquella temporada entre los dos clubes podría haber estado
amañado. Aquel choque se saldó con un 2-0 a favor del Athletic frente [.
A esta Federación no hay por dónde cogerla. Lo más grande es que somos campeones de
Europa con ella como abanderada. Al menos nos quedan otros 4 años de suplicio con Villar al

deporte rey. Pero al margen de lo descoordinados, [.
