About Ann »

I always considered myself as someone who’s NOT a sport fan. I mean, I do sports like running and swimming but mostly for fitting into size 2, rather than become next Michael P.(in terms of swimming not smoking;).

But then I discovered that besides me, none of my friends gets up at 4 a.m to watch a race. And that they don’t even know what white stripes on tyres mean. And the only football players they know are those from Pepsi commercials.

I thought that everybody has his favorite athletes, follows his favorite teams and sometimes pays lot money to see them live. Thank God I found B/R, because otherwise I’d start to talk to strangers on a bus about my impressions from Champions League.

Hey,

Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

Actually Floro Perez bught him to play in the center.

I know Sergio's the best we have, if we play any other from our team at RB, that would be a sacrifice. We should buy Maicon, play him at RB, and Raul and Sergio in the center, and Nacho Monreal at LB.

I have seen that vid earlier, he rehearses correctly and then speaks wrongly, funny actually. :D

And yes I did read the interview.

Sergio was primarily bought to succeed Heirro, and Sergio is better as a CB, he's a leader of the defense his effectiveness drops when he runs away attacking on the right wing! I for one would love to see Sergio return to the center with Pepe and Raul at right back.

I am guessing Sergio spoke in Spanish and Paolo in Italian, Marca might have made a translator translate it for them, or then there is the possibility that Sergio knows Italian or Paolo knows Spanish and then the least likely, they both spoke in English.

I don't really need to have a good taste in men.b

tw I am growing a beard too just like Iker's! ;)

Sergio was back ay his best? Oh I have to rub that in the face of that gay cule by the name of Bharanitharara or whatever!


Yes, we do need both Mata and Negredo back, hope Floro realizes that!

Iker? Ugly? I am beginning to think that beard looks good!

Thanks Ann :D

While indeed I am a very happy man that the dream is alive.

We need to end it on the 18th of November.

Egypt qualifying on the 18th (my birth day) would be a dream come true.

David Villa also said that he would love to play for Madrid, but who was he linked with later?

Lass is good, there is no doubt, but he makes unnecessary fouls while coming back and tackling, it wouldn't have been a problem if he knew his role and sat back!!

As for Gago, he should have never been bought! We should sell him and bring back Parejo!

Xabi isn't playing badly, the role reversal that Lass has put him through makes his ability to pass absolutely useless. I hate Lass because he goes forward and leaves his job to Xabi!

Xabi is the best passer in our team and Lass doesn't lets him pass the ball!

And I said if we give Lass to them we should give him in exchange of Mascherano. We all know who is the better of the 2!

Hello sexy angry Ann.

I hope you re as scared and anxious as I am.

Egypt has to win by a 3 goal margin.

I hope that your sexiness (the equivelant of your highness) is hoping that the African champions qualify to the world cup.

The ball will be in Valdes's met atleast 5 times! 3 times by thong boy!

Oh and unrelated news, Lass is wanted by Liverpool, I say we give them Lass and get Mascherano, then at least Xabi won't have to sit back! That bastard Lass was the highest shot taker against Pathetico, he should understand he is not a fucking attacker!

As for Sergio, how is that pic gonna help me in my statement? Sergio definetly needs to sack his stylist, although I like his new hairstyle!

Oh and thong boy is back in training with the team, he will come off the bench against Racing and will start against Barca! Which is a good fuckin thing to happen at this time! I never imagined I would ever like thong boy!

And don't worry, we can win against Barca, Xavi is out of form! :)

I hope they play Garay at LB! But it's good that Sergio will be back against Barca, he'll show those blind and biased fans of the (Catalan Cunts)™ how good he really is!

And that cold war is all bullshit! Those newspapers love to write that we have problems!

And Raul is really pissing me off, he is not playing that great and now he is benched, so he goes and gives a comment that the team is not gelling very slowly and is not playing properly! That is truly pathetic from Raul, we all know that Real underwent a LOT of changes, and with respect to that, the team is gelling very very quickly indeed and is playing better together than expected! Raul should stop acting like a moron, he's just losing the respect that Madridistas have for him!
