    Fair point. It was shirt sales that justified his role at Real Madrid in the days before he started delivering on the pitch.

      • Looks to me like it was a good piece of business, even with the injury. I can detail the math for you, if you wish.

        Of course, the league may lose good will from the fans on all of those multiple game packages for the remainder of the season.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        • For crap's sake what a game today Blackburn did everything they could to destroy the entire City team. 29 fouls against 3 really speaks volumes.

          Kasper did good to save us - why some people disagree with Sven playing him over Hart is beyond me.

          But on the bright side, it can only get better from here.
          Im not sure what Baruk Khazad is , but if they speak Judeo-Dwarvish, that would be "blessed are the dwarves" - lord of the mark

              Blackburn are the most despicable and revolting bunch of kicking and cheating scumbags in the league. Robbie Savage is, of course, the worst of the sordid bag of rats.

              I hope Mark Hughes gets cancer, Aids, Ebola, and bubonic plague. He thinks that kicking teams off the park is the way to play football.

              Man City are a clean and decent side - there were hardly any fouls in their game at the Emirates last week. Good ole Sven.

                • England really are scraping the barrel. Interestingly, Crouch is unlikely to get much football at Liverpool now that Torres has come in.

                      • LS: The first half was quite rubbish imho. The second half was a lot more... interesting. Del Grosso's red was uncalled for. The italian referee just couldn't give the old lady a disadvantage just 'cause Zebina was a complete ***** the entire game, could he?

                          • Hardly, with two BS penalty calls against them.

                            • Yep, two pretty harsh penalties. At least he had the guts to change his mind about the third. But it wasn't really a impressive performance by the referee. Not by Juve either. Not to bad a performance by Cagliari, without david Suazo and all.

                              • Yeah teh refereeing reminded me of Graham Poll in teh WC

                                Weak performance aside, Juve is only one of two teams in teh Serie A with a 100% record after 2 games
