I'm with Ricardo on this one. Leaving aside the fact he's in my fantasy football team - Last season, 3rd best central defender in the Premiership behind Terry and Carragher. He's pacy, can pass well, got a good head on him and tackles like a demon. He's better than William Gallas.

Not that I'm saying Gallas is a bad defender, far from it. I'd love it if his rumoured transfer to 'Pool had actually happened. But he's not as good as Carvalho, not by a long shot.

So, me and Carvalho are united in our confusion at the tactics of Jose.If it was just to give Gallas some playing time so he'd stop crying like a big Gallic baby all the time, I'd understand. But (1) He'd have told Carvalho and (2) Jose doesn't pander to player's whiney little protests, good man.

So, I ask you, why has he been dropped? I want clean sheet points. Carvalho, my friend, I must transfer you from my team. But I love Portugal, I have been there many times. You shall be straight back once Jose stops taking the crazy Francophile pills.

In the mean time...make your cases for my team, messers Del Horno/Carragher/Ashley Cole

Well Mourinho was quick to respond...and what a response. I think he went a bit too far :/
"Ricardo Carvalho seems to have problems understanding things, maybe he should have an IQ test."

Ouch...Carvalho on the bench the whole season? Hopefully they'll work it out.

Heh. Bring back "Big Peter" too. Now that's entertainment.

*dares*

Wow, 100,000 hectares? That's...well, that's a lot. Wildfires are part of life in Iberia, though. Not to sound harsh or anything :)

Well to put it plainly the whole country is burning down :( Fires are everywhere due to the high temperatures...some go on for days until people manage to put them out. [URL]http://www.eubusiness.com/afp/050811110144.tl6nba4o[/URL]

Damn, I'm slipping, it should be second nature to me by now.

Tut tut, Stryke. You missed out on a perfect chance to make fun of Dringo.

That's one strike, laddy. You don't want to get to three.

Why? You don't OWN Lisbon or anything. If someone comes up to me and says 'Wales - pretty nice place', I don't say 'Oh yeah, ta, we've been putting a lot of work into it. Put some decking down last week'
