So Barcelona made the World Club Cup final, which puts them into the final against Santos. That is a really interesting match and a chance for Neymar and Ganso to show off their skills to the world.

David Villa looks to be out for 6 months after breaking his leg in that match. Bad for Barcelona but really bad for Spain. Spain had plenty of striking talent but none are as productive on that level as Villa.

Just saw the clip on SS. It was ugly too. Horrible, especially when you just know Barca want nothing to do with being there at all.

Also, not so super Mario and Micah Richards were fighting today in training. Nothing newsworthy, but very lulzworthy.

Yeah, its funny how the Club World Cup is almost a punishment for the European clubs, while all the other clubs see it as a giant opportunity.

The loss of Villa hurts Barcelona but only so much. He wasn't being that productive this season. I think it hurts Spain more.

Very lulz on Mario and Micah.

Well, del Bosque has no excuse not to call up Soldado now. It's not like Spain doesn't have a few strikers that can fill in.

Micah Richards afterwards:

Me & mario are all good! these things happen in training & we shook hands after. it shows passion! #ctid

Balotelli as a singular entity is absolutely brilliant for football.

I love how its little ol James Milner trying to stop two large black man from fighting

Porto v Man City in the Europa draw. Can't wait to see those games.

The self-anointed "greatest fans in the world" finally get pulled up for their half of the bigotry and respond to sanctions with this belter.



In other news, the Scottish Government has now made it officially illegal for me to tell CJ that he needs to go home. ;) I put a wink there so Strathclyde Police don't come knocking on my door!

Does anyone still check the fantasy EPL league? I just looked at mine for the first time in months, I'm sittin 2nd in the table 1 point out of first. Used my wildcard week to make a buncha changes.

Is it January yet? I want to watch Landovan.

[calgaryballer]

I have been checking the Fantasy. First! I'm doing it because I enjoy it, not doing too bad in Canada

[Lanteri]

Is it January yet? I want to watch Landovan.

God we need him so bad. Our attacking has been absolutely dreadful. The match today was pitiful until Drenthe came on. McAleny looked useful as well.

Gueye, on the other hand, was completely invisible. Why Moyes decided to start him is beyond me.

The build-up isn't terrible, but there's absolutely no end product whatsoever.

[Fappin Raptor]

I didn't watch the match to long before I fell asleep. I still don't get why Rodwell isn't in the starting XI yet. He's been out with injury for a month now but played two weeks ago.

So Chelsea took down City last week but get held up by Wigan today? Watched part of the match and Wigan was putting Chelsea under pressure after the opening goal, so its not as if it was entirely a lucky draw for Wigan.
