I think he was regarded as a better player than Bergkamp in Holland, says it all really. The Barcelona and Liverpool moves wrecked his career though, he was never given an opportunity to play consistently.
too young to be captain at Sociedad is he? i thought Karpin was captain at his time there. Then again, Xabi's got that captain's aura about him. He'll captain Spain someday I reckon.
We scored a brilliant team effort at Watford. Alonso and Gerrard exchanged passes and sent Bellamy through, and I think Kuyt (or Crouchy) tapped it in. 30-40 yard (70 for Xabi) screamers are great but we need more 'team goals' consistently.
Just did a bit of search, BTV-6 will have it. Not sure what are the chances for getting this channel. ESPN will have it probably, they've got coverage for every previous round.
I think CCTV5 do not show champions league matches, not sure about BTV, but it's a free-to-air channel so it's highly unlikely. The sports bar owner sounds like he knows next to nothing!
