Most probably! Not even inside job, just someone got slipped £50 to turn a blind eye. It's a shame, but I guess there was speculation of much worse crimes happening during the WC, so I think overall the safety has been good.

It's more the principle. Shrugging your shoulders when someone gets robbed is unfair. The guys' houses got burgled. Intruded. I hope it doesn't affect them mentally because for the final all 22 players should be on the top of their game.

Yayá may not have had the best season, but players have dips in form. They don't become worse players that quickly. Not unless it's a very rare circumstance (e.g. ronnie with his lack of training, his partying and everything else). Yayá needs a change of scenery and lots of game time, so yes I...

At the Camp Nou yayá played as a DM and was a beast. At Stamford Bridge he played as a CB. And in the final too. And in the Copa del Rey final too. But at the Camp Nou he most definitely played as a DM. Yayá played as CM for monaco and for ivory coast, but for fcb he played as a DM. It wasn't...

Despite just praising busquets, Yayá's still at a higher level right now. Come back after Busquets has a match like Yayá did against Chelsea at the Camp Nou. Busquets plays well, but he doesn't own a match... Yet!

Uff..haven't been in this topic for ages. I'm really glad to see busi playing such an important part for spain. He was the stand out player for me when Pep first came in and introduced him throughout preseason. He showed good composure and only made mistakes that an inexperienced player makes...

That's a great stat that I hadn't realised! To think that the club was at a stage whereby I needed to make a group to back it, and now it is making up the first team that is 1 game away from winning the world cup in the space of just a few seasons. PTC!

Great game by the maestro. Everything feeds through him and if Spain wins it will be testament to the role the guy plays in the team. Also shows how important it is for national team players to know each other's game.

Yeah but not many want him to break his legs. Some just say an arm or something.. haha

I agree with you seamus. We lost out 10mil and shakhtar definitely got the best side of the deal, but given that what was done was done, we could have done a whole lot worse than €15mil. It's basically the best of a bad situation.

They = cules. I know you just hate him cause you're el waffle and you wouldn't be el waffle if you didn't hate van bommel!

I think they hate him because of the job he did at barcelona. He is a mercenary in many senses. Whoever he plays for he will do everything to win and will frustrate all other players and fans. It's a bit like loving a player that used to score lots of goals for you but now not liking him...

Definitely the World Cup. Especially as the knockout games are single ties rather than tactical 2-game ties. I do think that the sad truth is many players will play harder for their club than for their country, but once you get to the latter stages you definitely begin to see the desire in...

Van bommel, ohhhh oh, van bommel, ohhhh oh

Welcome shann. What was your brother's account if you don't mind me asking? Hope you stick around, and this is a great place to get out all your opinions on the club and football in general!

Convincing a player to stay even after it seems he wants to leave is not always a bad thing. Look at eto'o. And eto'o is the most sensitive of characters. IF there is a u-turn, the IF and ONLY IF it involves pep saying ok he's staying, and he's going to be a part of my plans, then we should...

Goal line technology only. Surely you can put three sensors in the ball and can work out whether it crossed the line. Are we seriously not at a stage of technology where that can be done?

Come on man. Why include "other" in a poll of two options?!

Can you name each side that won the CL in the last 20 years? What about the teams that had a dynasty in their league? Winning 3, 4 or even 5 titles back to back is something that goes down in your league's history, and people always talk about "the team of the xx's that won all those titles"...
