Gerard Pique's baring of his sizzling abs is not why he is our weekly pick; although we can
probably all agree that that would be reason enough. The picture is from last season anyway; no,

Geri was one of the few players given leave to stay away on vacation until the twenty-seventh;

Unfortunately for Goldilocks and The Barça
Bears, they'll have to wait at least another week to clinch the Spanish League Title.
Proverbial La Liga underdogs, Villarreal, miraculously scored the equaliser in injury time last

Just been thinking about the PSMS defeat at home to PKT on Saturday. As I mentioned earlier this
game was played just hours after the Medan side had returned from a 24 trip back from the

header over from close range.

Well well, here was a turnip for the books. Or was it? Considering Medan's mid week adventures in
the Maldives was it a surprise that two goals in the last 10 minutes killed them off?
They were given the lead by Rahmat Affandi in the first half but James Debbah soon pulled one back
for the away side.

After qualifying for the knock out stage of the AFC Cup PSMS face a more mundane challenge as they
fight to keep their ISL status when they take on PKT at Gelora Sriwijaya in Palembang today. And
they go into the game after a mammoth 24 hour journey home from the Maldives where they defeated VB
2-1 to ensure qualification.
