No mistaking a fan of a team hell-bent on compulsive under-acheivement now, eh?.



and S'hmpton shock Younited 1-0.

United for the insta-drop. Who's with me??

And in case anyone cares, ESPN, my live game source, seems to have switched from showing Spanish to Italian league games. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. What's better? Watching Real Madrid or Inter Milan?

And finally - in the Interesting Stats department. This season, top flight Brazilian teams have sold 53 players to teams in various other top divisions around the world. That's equivalent to a quarter of the Premiership selling their whole starting team and some - if a quarter of the Premiership were English, that is.

Seems that with the pathetic prize money that teams are offered in Brazil, they have figured that the only way to make some real money is to become player farms for the rest of the world.

Great for the rest of the world. Sucky for those here, left to watch the dregs of what's left battle it out.
