They Say:
"Cristiano is not just good, he is phenomenal," Zizou reckons CR9 is tops after watching Ronaldo score twice against Marseille.
"I am a human being, and I can also make mistakes. It was an instinctive reaction, and I have already apologised to my team-mates." Cristiano Ronaldo says he is human after a red card against Almeria. He said nothing about sulking after missing the penalty, even though Benzema bagged it.
Football Australia chief Ben Buckley has played down Aussie Rules governing body (AFL) concerns over Australia's World Cup Bid:
"We've never asked the AFL to shut down their season; we've only outlined to them the various FIFA requirements to host a World Cup."
"We are a country with our own language and when we leave its borders, those of us that speak it, use it," Pep Guardiola perpetuates an age-old political discussion about the independence of Catalunya while on duty with Barcelona. It still says Spain on your passport Pep!
"It is great that both of them [Kaka and Ronaldo] will miss the match and if even more cannot play, better still," David Albelda would like to play against Madrid's youth team this weekend. Gotta admire his honesty, none of this "it doesn't matter who plays" nonsense.
"The manager told me just to enjoy it, and I thought I did quite well. It is not bad making your debut in the Champions League," Arsenal defender Tom Cruise, (yeah Tom Cruise!) on his Champions League debut. Suggestions that playing the youngster was Risky Business proved true as the new Top Gun and A Few Good Men suffered Collateral damage in Mission Impossible, Far and Away in Greece. In other words they lost to Olympiacos. Tom won't be playing against Liverpool. He's off to Vegas to count the cards with Dustin Hoffman.
"It will be a great game to start off with, I haven’t talked to [David Beckham] yet, but I’m sure we’ll be texting and maybe even place a friendly wager," LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan wants to up the stakes for the USA's World Cup tie with England. He's presuming Becks gets the call.
"We will take it [the Europa League] seriously, but for us the main thing is to progress in the Premier League. To be in the top four," Rafa Benitez is taking the Europa League seriously. Who's taking Rafa seriously? Maybe next he'll be taking the Intertoto Cup seriously. Or the Zenith Data Cup, who remembers the good old Zenith Data Cup???
"What do I have to say about the Italian teams? Congratulations to Fiorentina and AC Milan and best of luck to Juve in the Europa League," Jose Mourinho hopes Inter's foes Juventus go well in Europe's silver medal competition. Tongue-in-cheek, Jose???
"It's too late to come up with excuses now. He should have thought about that before. He has made the decision to behave in a certain way and there's no way back now. He didn't meet our expectations this season and he's no longer needed at Bayern Munich." Louis van Gaal says Luca Toni sleeps with the fishes. Well maybe not but his Bayern Munich days are numbered.
We Say:
"Ultimately, the World Cup is a numbers game, refereed by politically astute and supposedly ego-driven individuals who wield a great deal of power," Goal.com's Aussie analyst Chris Paraskevas fancies Australia's chances of hosting the World Cup.
"Ferrara’s tactical naivety left him lacking sympathy from the Bianconeri faithful, and before long it is likely to leave him without a job," Kris Voakes reckons Ciro Ferrara should be sent packing after Juve were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich.
"After overcoming Ancelotti's initial scepticism about his tactical fit in a diamond midfield, Essien has been a pivotal figure for the Blues all season. When he has played well, so have the rest of the team," Alex Dimond is concerned about Michael Essien's injury and impending African Nations Cup duties. Once upon a time such woes would open a Russian cheque book. Recession at Stamford Bridge??
"It’s not just the infantile act of getting unnecessarily sent off and missing a pivotal league game the next weekend, or refusing to join in the celebrations after a team-mate had scored. It’s something deeper than that." KS Leong delves into Ronaldo's psyche and says he needs to grow up. Maybe the voodoo people made him miss the penalty, and get sent off. Cue spooky music....
You Say:
"And here I was hoping good ol' Wenger finally cracked a joke..." Dot thought Arsene was joking about Tom Cruise playing for Arsenal.
"Tonight it will be Tom Cruise V George Clooney ! MUFC in Lebanon must be referring to Antonios Nikopolidis, Olympiacos' grey-haired 'keeper.
"this where the dressing room problems begin. welcome to the clash of egos" Ben in Houston foresees trouble at Madrid after Ronaldo had a little tantrum when Karim Benzema scored the rebound after CR9 missed a penalty last weekend. Is that why he was so wound up and got himself sent off???? Silly boy!
Tom in Belgium doesn't agree with David Albelda's rating of David Silva:
"Silva is a great player, but u wanna compare him with kaka cr9 and alonso together? You ve to stop smoking dude."
"Funny that none of the seasoned Juve-watchers at goal.com predicted said crushing defeat :)" Teq in Wales reckons we should have warned Ciro Ferrara of a Bavarian blitzkrieg. Well Teq, if we got 'em all right we wouldn't be here, we'd be down at the local bookies with a trailer and shovels, shovelling up all the cash!
"last sentence great job C. ronaldo really has to grow up and by the way puyol has nice!! hair," Barcafan in Canada likes KS Leong's assessment of CR9's need to mature.
"I would choose Owen over Crouch anyday, even though Crouch is four metres tall." wawan in indonesia, feels Michael should be in the England squad for the World Cup.
