No Vela huh? I thought there was whispers of him coming back to play but then he wasn't included in Vucetich’s list of European based players that were to appear in next month's qualifiers.

Saturday's el derbi Madrileno should be a good match. Looking forward to seeing how Simeone's Atleti side plays the new Blancos side. Should be a firey/physical game. Los Blancos should win since their home.

Villas Boas vs Mou. Nice.

You would like that match up wouldn't you? In all seriousness, it should be a good game. The story lines are interesting. Will Chelsea finally hit their stride? Will Mata play (I think he is listed to play)? Are the Spurs legit? Interesting indeed.

Ronaldo asks that charges against Miami pitch invader be dropped

Cristiano Ronaldo and the pitch invader from last month's friendly in Miami.

Cristiano Ronaldo has written a letter to the Miami police force requesting that they drop the two criminal charges brought against the pitch invader who made his way onto the turf at the Sun Life Stadium during a preseason friendly in August and shared an intense, slightly uncomfortably long hug with the Real Madrid star.

Twenty-year-old Albanian student Ronald Gjoka has been formally charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct after being arrested by police at the game. His attorney has pleaded in the local press that the charges could lead to problems with immigrations and with Gjoka's college if they stick.

After hearing of Gjoka's plight through his advisors, Ronaldo plucked his biro from behind his ear and wrote the following letter to the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, politely asking that the charges be dropped:

"I understand your position and the importance of enforcing rules and law. However, I respectfully request that you and your office reconsider this decision and dismiss the two criminal charges this young man faces."

As far as we know, the Miami attorney's office are yet to reply, but it's nice to know that Ronaldo -- a player most fans deem to be entirely self-obsessed -- was concerned enough to get involved and come to Gjoka's defence.

Good on him, we say!

Ronaldo's the man, shows mad love.

However it's the Florida court system in the United States, security tazes and players tackle fans who run on the field. No mercy in the US of A.

Pawlowski's goal against Valladolid

Chelsea's McEachran joined Waterford on loan until Jan

@AFCAcademy Arsenal are investing in recruiting new fitness and strength & conditioning coaches within the academy.
- Arsenal will also be be significantly upgrading the facilities at Hale End, in a phrase process.
Hopefully this will help keep players fit and avoid injures.
Clearly Kroenke is trying to win over fans. Dude has never showed passions for any of the team's he has owned.

Early wake-up call for Spurs and Blues.

 

[feenixs]

Blues bout to paint white hart lane something nasty. Look for Hazard to make Walker tap dance and Paulinho to get out classed by a bright Ramires.

 

[jcs11702]

No vela for October WCQs. Can't wait to hear the rumors as to why.

IMO there's 2 reasons why he rejected;
1. Doesn't want the pressure of the nation on him. He knows all eyes will be on him for those games.
2. Wasn't assured of a starting spot.

 

[demps]

vela is a straight *****...thats the reason.

 

[dlo13]

Today's team to face Chelsea: Lloris; Walker, Naughton, Dawson, Vertonghen; Paulinho, Dembele, Townsend, Eriksen, Sigurdsson; Soldado

Team v Spurs: Cech; Ivanovic, D Luiz, Terry (c), Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Oscar, Hazard; Torres.

At least Mou picked a striker...?

 

[Sinner]

Good afternoon, Eva.

Gylfi! get in!

Guess I'll stay up.
