And Kevin Prince Boateng. Two solid young players for maybe 10m total. They could start as squad players and work their way into the side. If you think we're getting Michael Bradley that cheap you're nucking futs my friend. Contracted until the end of July 2012 and pretty much essential to 'Gladbach. not good enough for us anyway from what I've seen Bradley will be in a Bayern Munich shirt within 3 years. He's good. I've just put mine on. I'm still shit.

Nope, too clever for me. Don't get it.

That was odd of you.

İ'm a massive fan of Charlie Brooker.

I bought Briand for my FM Dortmund team. 41 goals 55 Apps. So therefore, naturally a great player. On a serious note. He has been touted for years but has always been held back by the execs. at Rennes and also his ACL injury buggered hım up a bit. A quick wikipeek: 169 apps/33 goals. Narp.

The vending machine. Want something?

Is that a skin disease?

Can you board in a Lavender field?

And that would never do. Too right. There is a morning routine I go through. If it's not fulfilled..... Its just another catastrophe that the Mayan calender foretold.

It certainly makes you stop and think.

Thank god it wasn't only me. I got scared. Had to drink coffee to stop shaking. No VT in the morning makes me think of killing a child. I was going to call a shrink then I realised that a) i'm not a complete dickhead I'm not American.

Correct. I am a Chesterfield man born and bred. Became a Villa fan through default because of the family. But I attend Chesterfield games and have always supported them. But anyway, I'll keep the name because he made me go mental with his left foot piledriver against blues in the 2:2 draw.

I'm devastated. He played for two of my favourite teams in England. Now I have to see him in the right colours, wrong team. Pah!!

Mine would be Rocky Foljambe. Which would be turned into Rocky Fulljammer by clever porn execs. I would be the highest grossing porn star in history, plus, I would bring back the lost art of fluffing.

touche! But a quick paranoid check of said shirt reveals I had ıt rıght all along....

I'd say possibly Rijkaard from that era as well. That's before you even start on the brilliance of their previous generation. Cruyff, Arie Haan, Neeskins, the van der Kerkhofs.......quality players The Dutch have always had 'special' players. Van Basten for his ruthlessness but I went for Dennis because he carried on playing brıillıant football well into his thirties. btw I had Neeskins on a shirt at Euro 2008, me and some mates all went Dutch for the tournament. Every game I got a tap on the shoulder asking me who Neeskins was.

The area of Istanbul I live is called 'UEFA Anıtı' which means Uefa Cup. Not going to change my life, but quite interesting nonetheless....hmmm. Apparently the renamed the area in honour of Galatasaray winning the cup.

I'm doing the old teaching English thing at the moment in Istanbul....loving every minute of it so far. I'm teaching in a private college for a year or two then see where it takes me. I'm hoping to do the masters to the CELTA diploma which can reap rewards aplenty but thats a pipe dream. For now, I'm enjoying the scorching sun, rooftop balcony and £190 a month rent on my flat.

I had a tutor who would make you write an essay for a seminar to read out to the group. He was a stereotypical Jewish guy from the Bronx with a very thick accent and he would verbally tear the essay apart as you read it. Anyway, one seminar he was saying nothing I felt quite good about myself until he shouted 'Stop, Stop, Stop ya killin' me (yes, he really said this) where did you get this crap from?' I smiled and referenced his book as if it was a footnote on an essay. He wasn't even embarrassed, just told me to carry on. Another thing on the whole unprepared thing. I did my entrance exam for Aber after a heavy night out, not intentional, my school decided to tell us on the morning. I decided to talk about British war technology between the wars....I spouted on for 2000 words about Churchill tanks and Spitfires, and lo and behold I got the letter saying I had a unconditional offer. I think its the relaxation effect because you think you haven't got a hope in hells chance.

No Mandy?

It is about Baggio after all.. Haha, so you weren't the only ones pissing lesson away with this. I rediscovered it a few days ago. Oldie but goldie...

Baggio's freekicks . Bloomin' addictive.

Stephen !?!?!

Istanbul is glorious in the sunshine.....at the moment I can see the blue mosque over the shimmering Bosphorous. With a good book and beer in hand. Have to love life sometimes...
