Christ, Crespo's gotten to the age where he looks like an overly excited middle-aged woman when he's happy. Yikes! Full makes to Dzemaili for not being -- or at least not looking -- frightened.

I assume Shaqiri's teammate laugh when they look at him, too? Cripes he's a ridiculous little creature. (My Real (Madrid-loving) friend discovered him during one of the CL matches against United, and was utterly taken by his kick-the-ball-ahead-then-run-after-it-really-really-until-you-collapses-with-exhaustion technique.)

It's disappointing to learn that Edi wasn't in his trousers when they caught fire. BO-RING!

Awww, but look at him laying his head on Crespo's shoulder. He loves him! Evidently he likes older men. (And Crespo always looked a bit odd, at least whenever he opened his mouth.)

His fellow babies (Mehmedi in particular) are just as ridiculous as he is, so presumably don't realise he's hilarious; they're really missing out. I mean, look at this. (He's moving to Bayern, much to my displeasure, so I suppose his huge ego will fit right in.)

Imagine my confusion as I tried to make sense of that article! But it does summon up a great image of a teammate crouching furtively next to Edi's chair with a cigarette lighter, being dead disappointed when people notice he's there. (Or being so obsessed with Cavani he self-immolates in a desperate bid to gain his attention.)

Hee. Either he loves him, or they've worked out an act together in which Crespo is the lion and Dzemaili is the brave-but-foolish trainer, who puts his mouth in said lion's head ( ... )

While giggling. Lots of giggling.

I did see Alexi Sanchez in the stands when Barcelona were mutilating Leverkusen. Does he ever get to play nowadays? Re: Shaq and the Bayernites, I'm just picturing enormous amounts of bickering, plus Shaq being incredibly indignant whenever they call him fat.

OT: I always forget he's got The Deepest Voice In The World. It gives him an inappropriate air of gravity. I do note a Mancunian accent starting to creep in, but he'll have to stay there for a couple of decades if he's going to polish it.

OT2: Bloody Wikipedia. Oh, dear; I hope his nonexistent neck wasn't the problem? Surgery would be tricky. *Looks at the picture* Whoa, now everyone seems to be neckless; I mean, look at that one on the left.

(Cripes. Thank you for reading "who puts his mouth in said lion's head" the way it was intended, rather than the rantings of a mad person.)

I believe Sanchez plays quite a lot, and very well. Irritating, isn't it? The other one the fangirls were freaking out about is that pretty little Dutch one, who not only never plays but is also hurt all the time -- I suspect they've all forgotten his name by now. (Dammit, what IS his name? Do you know who I'm talking about?)

OT: Ha, really? That's hilarious, but I suppose it makes sense. Tho how many people at that club actually hail from Manchester? Do you think he's got local friends (not named Gallagher)? Aw.

OT2: He got headed in the head from a weird angle and got all spun around, the poor guy! Twitter says he's not to do anything for either a week or two weeks, but I gather it's all precautionary, so that's good -- must be "only" a concussion. Aw, that's Gio, he's a baby deer and always looks awkward. I think he's just standing like a turtle there, though, usually his neck is fairly

Oh, well, Dzemaili getting all fluttery and giggly is such an enchanting sight you could have recited Gaga lyrics and I wouldn't have noticed.

Oh, no, that's good; if they're going to steal away some Serie A players they might as well make good use of them. (Errr. I'm not really an expert on Barcelona. Or Bayern. And I see no Nederlanders on their Wiki squad lists.)

OT: Well, he's got to talk to security guards and waiters and physios and stuff! When he's saying "That's 'is problem, not mine" about José it really comes through. Give him a few years and he'll be all sarcastic and miserable. XP

OT2: Oh, yikes, having flashbacks to the Romanian collision in Euro 2008 now. (Was that really four years ago? Where does the time go?) Excellent, he can just lie in bed making friends with weed and his left hand! \o/ Lavezzi must have spent loads of time pretending to be concussed when he was a teenager.

*makes a note to dangle Dzemaili in front of you in potentially awkward moments ( ... )

XD Lol I used to make notes to dangle him in front of you! Nice to know people find him cute wherever he is.

So true. Fanboy whinging isn't much better, though. (Bloody hell, my mind just totally failed to recognise the Dutch flag. Why does it not have orange in it?! Poor old Afellay.)

Hm. Well, let's hope Mario avoids a meltdown situation; if Cassano can grow up and be sensible, anyone can. (Yeah, I'd put Paddy in PR too, as long as there are no opportunities for kicking anyone. Blimey, this is like our Sanford & Son conversation all over again.)

OT2: Heh heh heh. XD It must be his amiable little face that makes that image spring to mind. Or the thought of Lavezzi's Argentine adventures with Pablo Barrientos; and, after all, that turned out OK for them! (Yaaaaay! Write the fic! I think the next Cornerflag is national teams, though, so you've got an escape hatch.) Hurrah! \o/ I love people reading my stuff! I shall go to bed smiling now.

Bugger, totally missed your Dan Petrescu text. Apparently he's at Kuban Krasnodar? I don't see why he shouldn't work in Russia; lots of Romanians have gone there in the past and, well, there's plenty of money there now. *Happens to notice the teams he used to play for* OH MY GOD HE WAS AT BRADFORD CITY?! This is clearly the finest gentleman in the world!
