[Shaggy]

Surely he's going to retire. Permanently injured.

[Muddled]

I thought Guilem would know? Isn't he down with the Barca boys?

Puyol dreamt in the past of playing 4 AC Milan. MLS would welcome him. But his recuperation has been tortuous, made him cry lots in pain

[Pablo]

Wimp.

Puyol leaving barca at end of season

[G]

That's Aggers summer transfer sorted so

[Gibbo]

Nah, they'll go for Ingo Martinez I reckon.

[Fernandinho]

Hummels maybe?

[Fosterbloke]

Hummels maybe?

He'd be great for us. Hummels and Sakho as first choice with Ilori, Agger and Skrtel in reserve.

[Fredo]

Barca lost today.

[Bender]

Barca lost today.

Barcelona have lost consecutive away games in La Liga for the first time since the 2007/08 season.

Taxi for Martino

[Shaggy]

Makes Pellegrini's decision to alter their set up and go more defensive look even more foolish. Missed chance for City.

[Bender]

Neymar, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta as Simpsons characters

I've read a few articles about Ronaldo helping kids and doing charity work. I remember reading about him helping a kid we his cancer treatment. Didn't he buy new cars for all the physics at Real Madrid? Comes across as a bit of a tit at times & seems a dislike for him on here.... but maybe he's a good guy after all

Cristiano Ronaldo Can Be An Absolute Class Act Sometimes

So Cristiano Ronaldo has yet again proved that his off-field persona might actually be fairly sound and in touch with reality, after he paid for an operation on a 10-month-old boy with cortical dysplasia, a brain condition that can cause 30 seizures per day.

Erik Ortiz Cruz needed a €60,000 procedure to remove a part of his brain, before a series of treatments that cost €6,000 apiece. Neighbours in his small town near Toledo ran fundraising collections for Erik, and his case came to Ronaldo’s attention when he was asked to donate some boots or kit for a charity auction.

Not only did Cristiano pledge the equipment, he offered to pay for all of Erik’s treatment. The Portuguese star is no stranger to charity work with kids, and it’s not the first time he’s done something like this for a young Real fan.

Fair play to the infinitely wealthy global superstar and sponsor’s dream.
