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 ....

I did see that he's taking his little Napoleon-in-a-swimming-cap self to Bayern -- when someone from a smaller team moves to a Big Club, Tumblr goes mad with love over them, so pictures start appearing out of nowhere. (See also: Anyone who ever moves to Barca.) Well, Lahm will probably be happy to have some as short as he is hanging about, right? Oooooh, and maybe Gomez will eat/step on him! Or shame him into realizing he's really quite silly-looking, despite what the fangirls tell him.)

OT: Mario's interview just randomly started playing in the background. (TWICE! There it goes again. The hell?) His english is insanely good already, my mind is blown.

OT2: NNP's name is Federico Santander, he's definitely got straight hair! And he was carted off strapped to a board yesterday, poor lad. He's being kept in hospital for 24 hours but is apparently ok. (Here is he charming the crap out of Racing's Colombians -- he's almost as good as Edi is at doing things that ensure affection.)

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 normal.

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*

That's true, what I really mean is: Good for him that he's having success, but god it's annoying because the fangirl squee tends to ruin things that otherwise might be good. (I realize this hurts only me, and that I need to get over it. I'M TRYING OK.) (I worry about your wikipedia, my friend -- are you using the Romanian one? Robben is definitely and Bayern and definitely Dutch! And the fangirl magnet guy I was trying to think of is Ibrahim Afellay, who wiki says really is Dutch and at Barca. But either hurt or hated, cos I don't think he's done anything in ages. That's something, anyway.)

Aw, Mario. That's fabulous, I hope he stays there forever with Paddy. Give them a decade, they'll be running the whole place (even more than they are now), and Mario will be speaking full-blown Mancunian. Paddy will do all the press, tho, for obvious reasons.

OT2: (I'm having that problem more and more. Makes me feel horrible old when time slips by like that.) *facepalm* Trust you find a positive outcome here! ;) Maybe he'll get the baby deer Colombian into weed, and they can giggle and be adorable awkward together. <----an alarmingly appealing prospect. Crap. Are you going to make me write sweet, silly Racing fic?! (Speaking of, I've got your cornerflag open in a browser window! Real chance I'll read it AND your second chapter (christ I suck, I really enjoy that story, too) soon, esp since I got a long plane flight coming up this week.)

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!
