    Its one of those, like torres', that looks good when wet and in an alice band. But away from a football pitch and dry, it looks awful.

    That's a proper fucking haircut. Scott "No Frills" Parker, earning £70k a week and still manages to look top-notch with a head full of 59p Tesco Value wet-look gel.

    Phenomenal performance by Getafe. Barcelona were pretty poor, but it was still a great effort. Moya played a blinder and pulled off a number of heroic saves, especially at the end right before the final whistle.

    Real are six points clear now and while it's early days it'll take some doing to peg Real back, as they look so, so good. The front three of Ronaldo, Higuain and Benzema is just beastly.

    Real beat Atletico 4-1 and Barca lost for the first time this season at Getafe, so Real move 6 points clear. Certainly could not have predicted such a gap before even the first Clasico. Two weeks from tonight at the Berbabeu Massive.

    Madrid's setup is quite simple really - sprint at them every time they have the ball. Dunno how long they'll be able to keep it up but it's working so far.

    Not too great. 1-3-1 so far but the win on the weekend was pretty impressive, against the competition leaders. Still played like shite though... reckon Kevin Muscat is part of the problem as Assistant Manager, they still play like thugs.

    Commentator at Barca v Valencia just made himself look a bit of a dick.

    "This is the tippy tappy football you were talking about. Its very nice but it is 40 yards away from the Valencia goal"

    Less than 10 seconds later Messi has the ball in the net.

    Just scored his hat trick now.

    Pen and a red card for Steckelenburg after 7 minutes. Definite pen but I don't think it was a clear goalscoring opportunity.

    How did Borini look? I see he scored again. He's been tearing it up over there by all accounts. Was even called up to the senior national team last week.

    Watching Real now. Another walk over. Good to see Kaka score a nice goal.

    Hard to say really. He took the goal well enough but was isolated for most of the match because his team were down to 10 men.

    What a little cunt.

    It's funny how so many of them are pretty much exactly the same.

    I just can't believe how good his control is. It's like they use a ball that is lightly magnetic or something. Lovely stuff.

    30 and 34 are my favourites. They are the "MACE you fat cunt, I can head the ball as well" goals.

    I heard that the Polish ultras use youth matches to rehearse their chants and shit. There's a video somewhere of a Spurs youth match in Poland with similar scenes

    Messi has scored tonight and since Barcelona have now revised César Rodríguez's total down to 232, he is officially Barcelona's equal highest goalscorer ever! At 24 years old.

    Lovely chip.

    Watching Milan/Juve now in the Coppa Italia semi final on ESPN. Crazy second half, Milan clawing 2 goals back so it ends 3-3 on agg. - onto extra time.

    Madrid have had Mourinho, a coach, Ramos and Ozil all sent off after Ronaldo and Ozil worked wonders for a cracker.

    I wonder if Barcelona might fancy this a bit now and kick on in the league, Madrid's arseholes will probably be twitching away knowing they only have a 6-point lead with a trip to the Nou Camp still to come. Barca have looked a bit jaded in the league this year but the idea of hauling Madrid back from a ridiculous lead is bound to get them going again.

    At just 24 Lionel Messi could credibly assert to be the greatest footballer in history - and the statistical analysis offered by Opta back up that bold claim.

    Following a hasty last-minute revision of the total number of goals required, Lionel Messi last week broke César Rodríguez’s record as Barcelona’s top goalscorer in all competitions.

    He netted his 232nd (to equal the record), 233rd (to break it) and 234th (because he can) in an emphatic hat-trick against Granada on Tuesday before adding another on Saturday against Mallorca to take him to 235.

    So far, Messi has scored against 55 different teams, including one against this week’s opponents Milan from the penalty spot in the group stages of the Champions League this season.

    Atlético are his favoured victims, against whom he has bagged 18 in total, while Iker Casillas is his favourite goalkeeper to face, having netted more goals against him than any other 'keeper.

    186 of his goals in all competitions have been left-footed (37 right-footed, 10 headers and two goals with "other" parts of his body), 28 have come from outside the box (207 inside) and he has scored 21 penalties and six direct free kicks. Dani Alves has been his best foil, assisting 31 of his goals, seven more than Xavi (24) and 14 more than Iniesta (17).

    Record breaker

    However it is his performances this season that have finally confirmed him as one of the game’s greatest-ever. The Argentine has scored more goals than the previous season in all but one of his eight seasons since his debut (he bagged 16 in 07/08 after scoring 17 in 06/07): in 2008/09 he scored 38, in 09/10 47, in 10/11 he scored 53 in all competitions, the same number as Cristiano Ronaldo.

    This season he has already netted 55, 10 more than his Portuguese rival, with potentially 15 games remaining in his season to improve on this.

    This incredible haul includes five goals in a single game against Bayer Leverkusen in the Last 16 of the Champions League, the first time he had hit five in one match and the first time any player had done this in the modern itineration of the competition.

    His next goal in Europe will be a special one in two separate ways: first of all it will be his 50th in the Champions League, as he becomes only the fourth player to reach this milestone after Raúl (71 total), Van Nistelrooy (56) and Thierry Henry (50) and the youngest to do this by over three years (Raúl was 28 years and 3 months).

    It will also be his 13th goal in the Champions League this season, setting a new record for most goals in a single edition of the competition, having equalled the previous best last season (12).

    A Messi goal is often special, however any strike against AC Milan on Wednesday will be even more so as he breaks yet more records in his quest to further confirm himself as the world’s best.
    God. Freak.

    Marina Hyde was saying in the Guardian's extra live Football Weekly podcast that it's brilliant Messi happens to be doing this while Cristiano Ronaldo is around so that greasy prick is put in the shade. I agree wholeheartedly. The stat that Casillas is his most scored against keeper is wonderful, it affirms that he really is a player for the big occasion.

    Or it shows that there is no competition in Spain, and Madrid and Barcelona end up playing each other about 8 times a season in various competitons.

    They don't usually, that happened last season and then they had the "charity shield" too obviously arising from that. Regardless, it shows he tends to score against Real Madrid when he has the chance and he's not just a flat-track bully.

    Is it not also likely that other teams have had more keepers in that time where Casillas has been number one for Madrid at all times. I don't even know who Madrid's second keeper is now, is it still Dudek? But the point still stands, he's just as good in big games as against the weaker sides.

    Just watched the highlights from tonight's Dortmund/Stuttgart game, absolutely insane. The first half hour there were about ten chances each but somehow it was nil-nil, then Dortmund finally broke through just before half-time and doubled their lead just after...20 minutes to go, it's still 2-0 Dortmund (with LOADS more chances for either side), Stuttgart score 3 times in seven minutes to turn it around. Then Dortmund go right back up the other end, equalise immediately, and then get the winner just before the end...except it isn't the winner, because Stuttgart come forward AGAIN in the last minute of injury time to equalise, and it ends 4-4. Just a bizarre, mad, brilliant game. Well worth watching the highlights if you have a spare five minutes.

    The Russians are much more subtle than we are with their wind-ups of each others fans. The Spartak fans got hold of a Zenit lion mascot banner, and...

    Imagine the fans meeting for that one. All of them thinking of all the witty phrases they could write on banners or hilarious songs they could sing, and then a lone voice at the back of the room is like "we...we could stick a dick in the lion's mouth. A great big cardboard dick with painted on hairs".

    I think it was someone on the Football Ramble I heard making the point about how difficult all of these twats who feign injury may make it difficult for refs when there's a genuinely serious problem like the Muamba situation. It seems futile to even suggest any more that they show a bit more wit and pride in themselves. It's the most embarrassing thing about the sport seeing grown men roll around pretending to be in agony. It's beyond time that we expected them to have any shame and now into starting to make it a disciplinary issue.

    The Spanish title race is hotting up nicely just as the English one has croaked it.

    Piermario Morosini, who was at Livorno on loan from Udinese, collapsed on the pitch during a Serie B game earlier today and has died following a suspected heart attack. He was only twenty-five years old.

    Both his parents died before he was 18, his brother killed himself shortly afterwards, and his sister is disabled and in a home. Tragic

    The fuck is happening in Genoa at the moment???

    From marcotti on Twitter
    Quote:

    OK, will try to sum up what's going on in Genoa, where home team losing 4-0 to Siena... Match stopped following flares on pitch..

    Genoa Ultras (a minority should be said) demanding that players take off their shirts ("not fit to wear the shirts, etc").

    Which is exactly what they're doing. Shirts off. Siena, meanwhile, have abandoned pitch. Grotesque and bizarre.


    Now Genoa captain Marco Rossi is collecting shirts from his teammates. Guessing he'll do something with them. Grotesque.

    Sculli refusing to take off his shirt. Now arguing with Ultras. Good for him. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    Sculli crying and embracing Ultra. He won't vive up his shirt. Now Marco Rossi wandering back with his stack of shirts. Unfreakingbelievable

    Rumours abound that Guardiola is ready to leave Barcelona and take a year's break from football.

    Would that put him in the frame as Ferguson's natural successor, or would he end up elsewhere? Chelsea in 12 month's time would be an interesting prospect if Pep was given funds and the ability to tell Terry, Lampard, Cole et al to fuck off

    For the same reason he got rid of Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o I'd imagine.

    Because to try to mould a squad around three aging players with massive egos and close ties to the owner would be suicide.

    RDM is getting a lot of credit right now, but this is the same group of players that essentially got AVB sacked. Chelsea need someone to come in and build for the future, and I don't feel Di Matteo is really going to make the difficult decisions that will have to be taken in the coming season or two.

    Rumours about Guardiola going have went round before. Every season he has been in charge I think. That said, if it turns out to be true this time then I wonder if Barca might fancy trying to nick Bielsa from Athletic Bilbao. He's the closest in tactical philosophy to Guardiola.

    It's hard to see Guardiola managing anywhere else, particularly a side like Chelsea.

    Guardiola's been pretty open about taking a sabbatical for a year when he finishes with Barca so that he can study the game further and work on fresh ideas. ECG - every year he holds out on signing a new contract because he is wary of becoming stale, but this seems a little different, he's usually very quiet about contract issues, whereas the comments yesterday seemed those of someone who thinks maybe now is the right time for both him and the club to end the relationship, at least for a while. I'm sure he will be back in the future.

    I could see him just waiting until the Barca job comes up again.

    It's been confirmed, Pep is out at the end of the season. From a careerist point of view it might be a good time to step down, as it makes the era-defining team of the past four years unarguably the Guardiola years more than a side that will be defined by Messi or any other player. I hope he does take a year off rather than run off to whatever huge club offers him the most money.

    Look at Cesc crying there. Goes to Barca to play under his idol and he leaves after nine months. It's ok Fab, that's why the buy-back clause is there.

    Over-rated. Took over one of the best club sides of all time, let them win a load of stuff and has pussied out as soon as the going has got tough. Most of his cheaper signings have been crap as well, poor means Steve Coppell.

    Pep definitely gives Jose a good fight for 'suavest motherfucker' in the manager stakes. Bobby Di Matteo isn't far off either.

    The Fabregas effect. Wenger looked ill by the time Cesc left Arsenal and he has had the same effect on Guardiola, who was a beautiful man but now looks like he has leukemia.

    Stop this player from destroying great men.

    Milan derby was brilliant last night. 6 goals, dreadful defending, shocking refereeing decision by one of the favourites to ref the CL final, Cordoba's last game at the San Siro, tension between Julio Cesar and Ibrahimovic. And as a result, Juve win the Scudetto with one game left. Unbeaten all season, pitch invasion etc.

    In April, Didier Zokora, the former Tottenham midfielder, was outraged after a Super Lig match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce, as he claimed Emre (previously of Newcastle) had racially abused him.

    Zokora said: “Emre and I came face to face during the match. I’ll tell you what he said word for word. He called me: ‘A dirty n*****’.”

    Subsequently, Emre was banned for two matches by the Turkish Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) after Trabzonspor filed a civil law suit at an Istanbul court.

    Emre and Zokora came face to face on Sunday night again and the temperature was raised a notch when Zokora refused to shake Emre’s hand after the two teams lined up pre match.

    The Ivory Coast midfielder then took out his retribution with one of the most painful challenges you will ever see just before the break with Trabzonspor 2-1 down, in a match they would go on to lose 3-1.

    I love 101greatgoals weekly update of moments where Neymar has done something flash and then immediately been hacked down. I don't know if anyone remembers Graham Stuart getting the hump with Ronaldo's tricks in his first season in the Prem and just destroying him, Neymar gets that x10 in every game, it's fucking brilliant.
