I agree with iqnadirshah that Robert Pires has been in good form. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he was introduced to Villarreal and he took the time to sign for me and get a photo with him, a true gentleman and a great player.
The team as I write are 4th in the league but need to be consistent to retain the Champions league spot. I would like to see them reach the final of the UEFA cup and go on to win it. The defence has tightened up with the help of Diego Lopez. Great things to come in the future.

I read this only because I knew there would be a mention of my all time favourite player, Robert Pires. True, he has been in good form this season, but compared to what he was doing at Highbury, this isnt quite enough. Injuries have been the bane of his playing career, but he has bounced back every time. Like the article mentioned the only problem with the team have been inconsistency. The defeats against Real Madrid(what was that, 5 nil?) and Espanyol were bad and they should avoid such displays if they are to fight for a European place. Rossi and Nihat look quite good upfront and hope the Yellow Submarine gets the La Liga title. Maybe a bit too much?

Why isn’t this article at the top of the list? This article is far better than the ones put on the front with those glossy but flattering pictures. Is that site manager sane? Or is all commercialization??
