Eto'o is out, apparently a last-minute change cause Henry was out yesterday.

Pep, you wrote Milito and Abidal are out because of injuries, I think you meant Iniesta instead of the Frenchmen.

pep said...

Changed that. Thanks, Anony!

Abidal INJURED?

Didn't he has an brilliant game on Sunday out on the left or was I taking one too many hits from the bong...

Eto'o rests up for the R.Madrid thrashing!

Pep what is the situation with Gai at the moment?
Also amazing blog

pep said...

Thanks, Anony.


On Gai: he's still looking for his best form. It's probably a consequence of not having done the full pre-season with the team (because of games with israel under-21) and of the constant rotations of Luis Enrique.

To give the guys a face: on the second picture you have (from left to right) Victor Vazquez, Botia, Xavi Torres and Abraham. The guy on the one but last picture is Xavi Torres.

Hopefully my boy Victor Vazquez starts.

pep, are you saying the Spanish passport thingy of his is over? he can alter between the the first team and atletic?

pep said...

He hasn't got the Spanish passport yet, so I don't think his situation has changed.
