Glad nobody else could find a stream either. I ended up watching Milan-Samp. (Semioli! \o/)

1. (Is that a medical bracelet? Could Corvino actually have a physical weakness?!) Could just as well be a fancy ID one. Unless he's got Type II diabetes.
2. Notice his lack of outer layers. Cold does not affect Teh Panda. Cos he's got a handy outer layer of FAT!
3. He was so bad that I think Cesare took him off to keep him from hanging himself in the net. DDD:
4. THE HAIR AAAARGH
5. Fiorentina calendar Miss March.
6. You know, Gila's eternal melancholy might have an upside. It's consistent, so when he's getting beaten up a lot he's no gloomier than he is normally.
7. *Does a double-take at the Mutu thing* SEVEN MONTHS FOR COKE AND NINE FOR SLIMMING PILLS?! I know it's a second offence, BUT. The news that Chivu came back earlier than Mutu would have made my jaw drop in January, never mind coming back SEVEN MONTHS earlier! Bloody hell!

Hello, I had tons of streams! They were just crappy. The good thing was that when they froze, it tended to be on miraculously clear shots of Guarente or Comotto -- definitely better than it could have been.

1. Only Type II diabetes? When I was a kid, I had one that said I wore contacts! (I never actually wore it because I thought it was dumb, but it seems like they make them for everything. "I DRIVE A VERY SMALL CAR.")
2. LOLOL I was going to link to this, but wanted to be nice.
3. He needed cuddles so badly, I hope someone on the team likes him enough to offer at least a half-hearted hug.
5. Ahahhahahahahhahahaaaaa! Ahem. +1 for you.
6. Aw, man. You don't think it's learned behavior, do you? This makes me sad.
7. Well, Chivu was broken, not an idiot. :D

1. >.< Contacts??? *Gives up* (It probably says "I Work For Fiorentina". That's a bloody serious condition nowadays.)
2. ...You watch the weirdest things.
3. He's pretty, isn't he? Someone's bound to offer them, if only as an excuse for sexxing.
6. *Jauntily* He's probably just clinically depressed.
7. Lol thank you, but I wouldn't have expected the consequences of SHATTERING YOUR SKULL to be better than those of taking dodgy diet pills. *Is sad*

2. lol That makes me laugh so hard, you have no idea how much I think about it. "I'M A MANATEE. I HAVE A LAYER OF BLUBBER TO KEEP ME WARM."
3. Yeah, but he's also often a bit crap, what if they're worried it's catching?!
6. *guffaws*

1. Wow. Lots of not much this time. And then there was Miss March here so it was all worthwhile. Yummy.
2. I finally listened to the Lady Gaga stuff and now it's IN MY HEAD. I can't decide whether I'm ashamed of myself for responding like this to garbage, or whether Hey! It's just pop music and it's not pretending to be anything else and I didn't actually spend any money on it so who cares if it's like a trip back to 1982 only with more suggestive costumes catchy and tuneful but not exactly profound? I'm in a pretty decent mood today, so I think B.

1. Thank goodness JMV is there to offer some fan service when the footballing isn't working.
2. THAT IS EXACTLY MY RESPONSE, AS WELL! All of it, up to and including the questions of whether it's ok or not, as the whole 80s thing. I finally decided on option B, as well, because it's so damn catchy I would hate to refuse it based on some misguided principle.

1. Keirrison was surprisingly active (!) and involved (!!) -- he actually did well, and his effort and smart pass set up Monty's goal.
a. He looks amazingly like Dylan Thomas.
b." Keirrison finished as the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 2008 top scorer, with 21 goals, tied with Washington of Fluminense and Kléber Pereira of Santos, being the youngest top scorer in the history of Brazil.[" (Wikipedia) Why isn't he starting in every match?
2. Cesare is annoyed, which is making him so hot he's had to unzip his coat. And there he is in a very nice purple v-neck sweater, much better than that horrid roll-neck thing.
3. Comotto is far and away the prettiest viola on the pitch. He always looks great. Either the uniform really suits him or he's so gorgeous he makes it look good.
5. Really great to see Gambit back.

1b. Because, according to one who knows everything there is to know, "he left Brazil as a competent right footed finisher who couldn't do a great deal else." There's way, way more space in Brazil than there is in most of the European leagues; if Barca bought him he's obviously got potential, but he's also (obviously) got a lot of growing to do. I believe he's actually getting more room in Florence than he was at Benfica where he spent the first half.
3. Well, you know I'm biased, my money's on the latter. :D

ETA: Here's an earlier column in which also Keirrison is addressed; amazingly prescient, since one could definitely argue he did move to early.

Thank you for the information on Keirrison. It makes everything clearer. I went back to look at the video - it seemed to me that he had to turn and use his right foot - still needs left foot practice. He should watch that excellent little video of Wes!

You're welcome! I found another column in which Vickery expresses concern about Keirrison's fragile temperament, too, so that's an area in which he seems to have grown over this last year. (Most guys have a dominant foot, and there are spectacularly successful players who try to use only one (see: Adriano, Messi), but I guess to get away with that, you need to be more than just "competent" with your good one!)

WE ARE RUBBISH. Also rubbish: Mutu's brain.

This was the point at which Seb started wondering who he should kill first.
seems like JMV was inviting :P

woah. monty's goal was indeed magnificent. he hadn't scored spectacular goal like that in ages. too bad it's just a consolation one :(

Right? He's misfired on so many chances like that this season, and when he finally gets it, he doesn't get to celebrate at all. Poor, poor Monty. (He and the Playmate and Gobbi went on a date to some charity concert Friday night. I wonder if the Playmate finds that odd, or if she's use to the 3rd wheel by now. *g*)

OMG monty-gobbi again!? didn't these two go on vacation TOGETHER!? now i feel for pazzo, i really do D: (but no sympathy to playmate whatsoever. sue me *g*)

ROFFLES @ the sympathy for Pazzo and not the Playmate! Though I suppose she did know what she was getting into, where as Pazzo's just been usurped. Twice, even! (Gobbi and Monty are also all flirty in the ridiculous new music video. Warning: It's awful, but it will get in your head and torture you all day.)
