We have seen how Liverpool suffered this season without any pace and creativity from midfield.
Dalglish's preferred midfield foursome of Downing, Adam, Gerrard and Lucas will pass the ball to
death but neither is comfortable to run with the ball.
Against teams that park the bus, especially teams that come to Anfield, the lack of
unpredictability in the Liverpool play has caused the mighty Reds dearly.
Barcelona might have won the latest el clasico, but it is Real Madrid who are threatening to run
away with the La Liga title.
Real Madrid are now seven points clear at the top of the Liga after their 3-1 win over bottom
side Real Zaragoza while Barcelona's poor away form continued as they were held to a scoreless draw
at Villarreal.

Esta semana, por no decir el año completo el villano de la película de fútbol ha sido el
portugués Pepe. Esa mala fama ha sido ganada a pulso, es mas muchos madridistas no lo quiere en su
equipo, para no ir mas lejos los ejemplos del clásico pasado en el Santiago Bernabeu, mostraron un
poco de sus acciones antifutbolisticas, marrullerías,reclamos,clavados,malas actuaciones y
pisotón a Messi incluido.
High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big
new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come
through with someone who won't even find the end of the bench on the reserves. Like Bayern did this
afternoon, requesting their fans tune into an official press conference to unveil the signing,
which turned out to be the photo of the fan who'd logged in via facebook.
24.01.2012 - Saliendo desde Barcelona hacia el sur por la A-7, en unos 25 minutos, se llega
a
Castelldefels, en la comarca del Bajo Llobregat, una ciudad de 60.000 apacibles habitantes
que orillan el Mediterráneo con temperaturas de entre 10 y 26ºC.
La playa es una larga lámina de arena fina (5 kms) entre el delta del rio Llobregat (con sus zonas
húmedas y cañizares) y el macizo calcáreo del Garraf, de unos 90 metros de ancho que desde 2006

Today's SPL. All of our dirty dozen are in action. Here's a very quick look ahead.
St Mirren v Celtic
Ah, St Mirren. 2-1 up last week with their opponents down to ten men. They lost 5-2.
A season in 90 minutes. The promise, the impressive moments, the entertainment and the frequent
disappointments.
It's been an incredible eighteen months for Gareth Bale and a period that has ended with our
Welsh left winger being named as the only British player in UEFA's team of 2011.
Bale took his place among the likes of Barcelona's Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Xavi, Andres
Iniesta and Lionel Messi as well as Real Madrid's Cristinao Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and Marcelo.
16.01.2012 - Tal como anunciara en broma, Jorge Messi tuvo que ordenar la ampliación del
museo personal de la casa que Lionel tiene en Castelldefels (Barcelona), donde guarda todas sus
distinciones individuales.
En una entrevista con
Mundo Deportivo, Messi se dejó fotografiar frente a sus vitrinas y
aprovechó para volver a desmarcarse de los calificativos recibidos, en este caso el
"killer" (matador) arrojado por Michel Platini:
"Me parece un poco agresivo.
El lugar de Lionel Messi en la cima del mundo futbolístico fue confirmado el pasado lunes al
obtener su tercer Ballon d'Or de manera consecutiva. Pero él no lo logró solo. Para celebrar su
victoria, Leo agradeció a todos aquellos que lo han apoyado en su carrera, desde sus compañeros
de equipo y familia hasta los aficionados que ayudan a hacer del futbol el deporte mas bello de
todos.

It's competition time here again on Pies folks, and this prize is going to take some
beating!
As you'll be aware, Lionel Messi nabbed his third-straight Ballon d'Or gong earlier this week,
and to celebrate Adidas have produced a very special pair of boots for him to wear during
Barcelona's La Liga tie against Real Betis on Sunday.
13.01.2012 - En celebración del tercer
Balón de Oro consecutivo (2009 - 2010 y
2011) recibido por Lionel Messi, Adidas diseñó un nuevo botín para la ocasión: el
"F50
adizero de oro", estrenado por la pulga en el partido de ayer
(Osasuna 1 Barcelona 2)
por la Copa del Rey.
FIFA handed tonight the 2011 GOLDEN BALL ( BALON D´OR) AWARD - the Best Player in World Football -
to FC BARCELONA player LIONEL MESSI. Its his third straight Golden Ball & puts the 24 year old
Argentine in the elite class of 3 x winners like Platini, Van Basten & Cruyff. The second place
was given to REAL MADRID player CRISTIANO RONALDO & third to FC BARCELONA player XAVI HERNANDEZ.
Jonas Gutiérrez has today compared Ben Arfa's goal on Saturday with the famous Maradona goal
he scored against England in the quarter finals of the 1986 World Cup when Bobby Robson was the
England manager. Jonas Gutierrez talks about Ben Arfa's great goal This is what the Argentine
winger told the local Newcastle press today: "Ben Arfa's goal was magnificent.
The FIFA backed IFFHS ( International Football Federation of History & Statistics) has handed in
their list of the "Best Midfielder in World Football" for 2011 ( game creator + assistances) . The
FC BARCELONA & Spanish Football International XAVI HERNANDEZ tops the list over second placed
team-mate Lionel Messi.

Este primer dia no se podia empezar mas que de la siguiente manera recordando que según las
predicciones mayas en Diciembre de este año que inicia algo grande pasara, algunos conocedores del
tema creen que sera el fin del mundo.
Pero si esto realmente sucediera ¿Cuales son las señales que hemos recibido y no hemos
decodificado?
Everyone is doing it, so I thought we would too. Here is the OTWT starting 11 for 2011
- Goalkeeper: Joe Hart, Manchester City
- Left Back: Ashley Cole, Chelsea
- Center back: Vincent Kompany, Manchester City
- Center back: Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United
- Right Back: Gregory van der Wiel, Ajax
- Left side: Eden Hazard, Lille
- Central Midfielder: Javier Mascherano, Barcelona
- Central Midfielder: Xavi, Barcelona
- Right side:Mario Goetze, Borussia Dortmund
- Striker: Ronaldo, Real Madrid
- Striker: Lionel Messi, Barcelona
I know everyone does not agree with my starting 11, so let the trashing begin.
29.12.2011 - No imaginamos a Messi escribiendo estas líneas en el Facebook de su Fundación
ni en ningún otro sitio. No obstante el texto se publicó en
la cuenta (con la firma de la
Institución) para que, a pocos días del primer premio recibido en Argentina (Olimpia), el nombre
de Lionel Messi quede implícito en apoyo al crítico momento de salud
(carcinoma papilar en la
glándula tiroidea) de la Presidenta de la Nación,
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

Just Lionel Messi, caught up in a feeding frenzy for Pringles with his niece and nephews at an
airport in Argentina. All together now: "Awww!"...
With all the 'DATS SO SWEEEEEET!!!LULZ!' fawning out of the way, I now invite you to imagine
that the Pringles tube in the first picture doesn't have a bottom.
Lionel Messi, once again has been nominated for the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award.
He was nominated in three occasions and have not yet been succesful in winning this one. FC
Barcelona also has been nominated in the Sport Team of the Year category and Abidal also for the
Comeback of the Year.
El delantero de Barcelona Lionel Messi reconoció que quizás en ese equipo no tomen real
dimensión de la gran cantidad de conquistas que obtuvieron en los últimos años.
"Quizás no nos demos cuenta de lo que significa todo lo que estamos consiguiendo", manifestó
Messi luego de marcar dos tantos en la goleada sobre Santos por 4-0 que le dio al elenco catalán
su segundo título en el Mundial de Clubes.
All the futbolitos we've spoken to from Argentina (who support Boca
disculpe Independiente fans!) share the same level affection for
Juan Roman Riquelme, who is easily one of the club's most respected players. We
can also reveal that he's a very level-headed hombre, and for that reason, has struck a
chord with many football fans.
Inocentemente millones de aficionados brasileños y otros mas internacionales, creían que
Santos y su estrella naciente Neymar estarían a la altura del mejor equipo del mundo, que
equivocados estaban.
El Barcelona llego a la cita de este domingo, para demostrar una vez mas que esta hecho para la
grnadeza historica, para que otras generaciones hablen de esta escuadra.
FC Barcelona were crowned the 2011 World Club Champions following a brilliant 4-0 victory
against South American Champions Santos. The battle between the Champiosn of Europe and Champiosn
of South America were a mismatch with Barca controlling the proceedings for the majority of
match.
O Barcelona acaba de conquistar o Mundial de clubes disputado no Japão ao golear os brasileiros do
Santos por quatro golos sem resposta num jogo em que do onze titular que apresentou apenas os dois
laterais não foram formados no clube. De facto, apenas Daniel Alves e Abidal não "cresceram" em
La Masia, o centro de formação do emblema catalão.
Barcelona has reportedly placed David Villa on the transfer list, sparking a scramble for his
signature between Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
The Spanish international, 30, has dropped down the pecking order at the Nou Camp this season, and
more importantly, has allegedly fallen out with star player Lionel Messi.
Jose Mourinho believes the outcome of Saturday's Clasico could have been different had Real
Madrid not wasted some glorious opportunities.
Karim Benzema fired them in front after Victor Valdes scuffed a clearance and the Barca defence
were unable to clear their lines. Real had chances to double their lead during an end-to-end
opening half-an-hour, with Cristiano Ronaldo uncharacteristically wasteful in front of goal.
David Villa happy at Barcelona amid Liverpool link
David Villa has distanced himself from speculation linking him with Liverpool. The Barca man
insists he is happy in Spain despite reports he's fallen out with Lionel Messi.

Maxi Rodrigues scored his second goal in nine days against Chelsea on Tuesday night as Liverpool
recorded a comfortable win at Stamford Bridge, yet despite his fantastic record over the last nine
starts, the Argentinean still struggles to get into the team.
Let's look at the facts: In the last 9 starts, Maxi has scored 10 goals and provided 1 assist.
Spanish champions Barcelona got back to winning ways after a superb 4-0 win over Rayo Vallecano at
the Camp Nou with Alexis Sanchez the star of the show. The young Chilean forward bagged a brace and
further goals from David Villa and another sublime run-come-finish by Lionel Messi sealed a fine
4-0 win for La [.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has been in fine form this season, and although he is not renowned
for his attacking ability (!), the Brazilian admires and appreciates attacking play, and this was
evident when he recently revealed his five favourite South American players.
Unsurprisingly, Lucas selected four Brazilians in his top five!
Electronic Arts Inc. announced Thursday that EA SPORTS(TM) has signed FC Barcelona and Argentine
national team player Lionel Messi, to a multi-year endorsement contract that will see him become
the global face of the EA SPORTS FIFA Soccer franchise. The biggest transfer deal this season sees
our FIFA Ballon d'Or 2010 winner transfer to EA SPORTS and make his debut in March, 2012 on the

24.11.2011 - Unos meses después del lanzamiento del
PES 2012, en el que Neymar y
Cristiano Ronaldo desplazaban a Lionel Messi de la portada, Electronic Arts anuncia que EA Sports
fichó a la Pulga para convertilo en la imagen mundial de la franquicia EA Sports FIFA.
Así, por más que Messi
baile a lo Michael Jackson en el PES, debutará en marzo (2012) en
la portada de FIFA Street después de anunciarse:
"Quiero formar parte
del equipo que está detrás del mejor videojuego de fútbol del mundo y estar asociado con el
nombre de EA Sports".
Tut, tut Out-of-control egomaniac Lionel Messi once again found himself on the wrong side of the
law during last night's AC Milan v Barcelona match following this heinous penalty run-up. The
Argentine star was booked for pausing during his run-up. The protestations from AC Milan's players
ultimately proved to be fruitless as Messi duly dispatched [.

10.11.2011 - Así como el maduro
Pelé (71) no puede dejar de hablar de
Maradona,
Cristiano Ronaldo vive cada vez más momentos a la sombra del nombre de
Lionel Messi.
"Los que me gritan por Messi son anormales", tiró CR el mes
pasado (09.10.
Nella dodicesima giornata della Liga, l'Athletic Bilbao va vicino al colpo, in casa contro il
Barcellona. Solo il recupero a dividere la squadra basca dall'impresa contro i Campioni di Europa,
ma proprio nel periodo di overtime sempre lui, Lionel Messi, salva i blaugrana dalla sconfitta con
la rete del 2 a 2 finale.
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is giving fellow La Liga rival Lionel Messi a run for his
money for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or award as the Portuguese striker capped a fantastic few days his
had with Los Merengues by not only bagging a hat trick in last night's fixture against
Osasuna, but also by winning his second Golden Boot award.
