Maldini

Both of them were sh*te

yeah, he seems to be running their CBs ragged, they're spread too far apart because the wing backs are bombing on. I'd say they'll get a roasting at half-time from the boss and sort it in the second half

I wasn't really that impressed by Deco until he went to Barca but he has a lot more to his game than I had previously given him credit for. I wonder if there's more to this than meets the eye though, Lampard has been vocal about wanting to play for Barca in the future this week, maybe there'll be some sort of swap deal.

Al-Ittihad were by far the better team in the twenty minutes I saw

Oh that's on Setanta, I'm gonna go watch it

Huh? They're polar opposites

"Lov goes where nobody knows"

I meant more that both look like world beaters in small doses but neither can maintain that high standard very long.

Apparently he's going to Real too, along with Cassano. Ashley Cole is reportedly off there in the summer.

If Keane signs for Real I'm gonna stick a few quid on them for the league. He's EXACTLY the player they need, they're only 6 points behind Barca and Xavi, the brains of the Barca team is out for 6 months. It's going to be an interesting few months in Spain.

He's a man in his thirties with highlights.

Seriously?

We then moved on to a cross-examination from their QC, an unexpected extension of his role as adviser to the panel. He decided to focus, at length, on words and their many meanings. He asked me what I meant when I said I thought my article was 'pragmatic'? I asked what he thought I meant, and the chairman said 'answer the question'. I accused the QC of meaningless semantics, so he asked me: 'What do you mean by semantics?' He wasn't joking. Jordan is a clown, you have to admire him for standing up to this bureaucracy though

He was s*** for Everton when they played him as a defensive midfielder, he was better in his last season when he played a more advanced role with Carsley in behind him.
