I wonder if Arsenal are lining up a cheeky bid for Fabregas.

It would be really really funny if Arsenal paid up for Cesc before Barca finishes paying for him.

[Warspite]

We could call it evens and save them the wage bill.

Fabregas seems to be struggling slightly to adapt to Barca's more patient game. It would be a shame if Cesc's ability to play quick balls and thrive in a free role is coached out of him. It is, after all, what got Spain that goal in the World Cup final.

Guardiola.....future manager of England. Perhaps. Hmmmmm?


Or Liverpool maybe

Chelsea?

Guardiola is a guy who can't deal with players taller than 6'. Explaining to 23 players with the mental and social abilities of wayne rooney that they are not supposed to try and get the ball into the box and score might be too much for a non-native and non-yob speaker.

Trying to get the best out of Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Ramires et.al. might not be possible for a man who doesn't believe their skills are of true value.

So where does he go from here? Italy? Inter perhaps or Juve?

Replace del bosque?

[The Larch]

Theoretically he's taking a sabbatical year next season.

Juventus does not need him 

It is very possible that he will come to Italy: knows the language, has played some time here, and Inter's and Milan's owners are courting him since some time.

An english club does not seem a likely destination, more probably the spanish national team, if Del Bosque leaves after Euro '12.

Watching an Arsenal game is just painful. Best part of the game was the Stoke fans mocking Wenger at the end of the game.

Arsenal games are usually either breathlessly entertaining or boredom defined depending on how well the other team defends and if Arsenal decide to give a shit.

Stoke games on the other hand...

Stoke wouldn't look out of place in the NFC East.

I've discovered that they numb the mind and I should avoid them.
