Sid lowe always makes me want to write:

Mario Martínez Rubio is Numancia through and through. In fact, if you sliced Mario Martínez Rubio open not only would he bleed to death, he'd do it in Numancia's colours. Partly because Numancia's colour is freshly-hacked haemoglobin but also because young Mario spent his childhood bangin' on the big bass drum from Pajaritos stands; because his father was in the side that won promotion from the Third Division in 1989, taking Numancia to the Second Division B for the first time in their history; and because Mario himself was the first soriano ever to play for Numancia in primera, back in April 2005.

FRESHLY-HACKED HAEMOGLOBIN. you guys, I made retarded seal noises. Fanciful fawning aside, his league column is always a pleasure, and this column on the Robinho transfer is incisive without being terribly judgmental, which earns him even more respect.
