Feature on Levante.

Wouldn't surprise me if we went for Caicedo with a 1 mil Euro clause.

Article is in Germany, loads of photos though.

Fortuna Dusseldorf's stadium/arena is unavailable at the end of the season because of the Eurovision contest being held there. 3 games without their stadium incredibly (due to the removal of the pitch and a similar agreement as UEFA's to Champions League Final venue).

Rather than move to a rival's stadium temporarly (and there's loads they choose in the Ruhr), they have built a stadium holding 20k which is completely temporary at their training ground!

Also, from his wikipedia page:

While playing in a match against Junior Barranquilla in 2011, Moreno deliberately kicked the team's mascot, an owl, which had wandered onto the field during play.[1][2] The owl, which had just been struck by the ball and was lying on the ground helpless, sustained a fracture of its right leg.[1] In response, the crowd booed and chanted the word "murderer" at Moreno. It is expected that Moreno will die a horrible, inexplicable death within six months, as owls curse those who harm them.[1]

Playing position Right Back, Center Back, Owl Killer

Gattuso. :icon_cool

Poor goalkeeping though. Just shows even the best of them can make mistakes.

Delneri on borrowed time right now.

Thrilling day in the French top division yesterday - seven fixtures, four goals.

Barca sneak a one nil to win again. Can't see Madrid catching them now

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Sampdoria currently 3-0 down to Cesena. Oh dear...

Watched the last ten minutes of Brescia Inter last night.

First Cordoba headed the ball from a corner towards goal and Brescia equalised to make it one all. Then in the 89th minute, he was last man and got sent off and gave away a penalty in the process. But the Brescia guy then saw his penalty saved, and in injury time got sent off himself for mouthing off!

Very entertaining

Dortmund lost, could be down to 9 pts lead tomorrow. Werder/Mochengladbach draw in a six pointer.

Lille can go three points clear in Ligue Un tomorrow. Arles...our man Yann bagged.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Parma beating Napoli 1-0. :icon_eek:

Could have a weekend where none of the top 4 win in Italy.

 

[Hazzman]

Dortmund lost, could be down to 9 pts lead tomorrow.

Lille can go three points clear in Ligue Un tomorrow. .

Leverkusen took it down to nine.

Lille went three clear.

PSV cocked up today, giving AZ and Ajax a chance down who are 2 and 3 points away respectively.

 

[Kingy_85]

Barca dropped two points tonight, very end to end game. Loved it.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Barca haven't looked themselves the past few weeks. They've looked wasteful, more like Arsenal than Barcelona.
