Summer stalking is almost at an end..

Just a few random sightings..

The holiday is almost over for Nando, woooooooooo that means he is ours again soon :D
He was back in Madrid in the last couple of days and there is a rumour he returned to the fair Merseyland on Sunday.



I'm sure we're all aware that ickle Cesc has been fraternising with the Barca boys in Uzbekistan, if not head on over to This Is Extra Time.

The elusive Mr Alonso has at some point this summer been spotted in San Sebastian playing 'Padel' (Wiki at your leisure) where he is/was apparently staying with his father.

Just a few other holiday snaps i found. Kind of getting bored of the holiday pics now.. roll on the return to preseason!

Thank the lord! ..and Dame of TIET!

A massive thank you to Dame from the fantabulous 'This is extra time' for posting this picture! The original shot that i posted the link to (with his shorts hoiked right up) seriously dented my mojo for El Nino but he looks soooooooooo much better here! Lord only knows why he needed to get his shorts up that high to put suncream on in the first place! Was he planning on whipping the shorts of at some point? and if so could he not have just slapped the cream on then? Anyway the Nando love is back with a vengeance and he will be back the red boys this week so all is well..

SON- Save our Nando

Poor boy is getting more abuse in the US press. Have a word Pavi! Come back to us Nando! We love you, we'll hold you tight and make it ok. Please lose the baby blue shorts though, with them and the hair even i'm starting to cringe..
Oh and apparently they're in the Bahamas now, ooo.

He's looking a bit red! We like him in red but not actually skin meltingly red! Start rubbing some suncream on him Olalla! If you don't want to do it i have a long list of girls who would/

Lucky number..3?

Article from daylife.com

Striker Fernando Torres, who won Euro 2008 for Spain, like many great sportsmen, is highly superstitious because he believes that his number three rituals are the secret to his success.

Liverpool's strike sensation Torres insists on doing everything in triplicate. Before each game he has three shirts, three shorts, three pairs of socks and three lots of boots laid out.

Then, he always crosses himself three times before walking onto the pitch, the Daily Star reported.

At the moment he cannot wear the number 3 shirt for Liverpool because it belongs to Republic of Ireland defender Steve Finnan.


But if Finnan heads to Aston Villa to make way for 27-year-old Gareth Barry, the shirt will be available. Part of Torres' contract stresses that he must wear the number 9 shirt because it is divisible by three.


The Spaniard has just completed work on his three-storey home, worth 900,000 pounds in Liverpool.


A Liverpool source revealed: "Just like many great sportsmen, Nando is highly superstitious because he believes his number three rituals are the secret to his success. Nobody was srprised when he ordered three games rooms at his house."

Another strange baller superstition hey, who'd have thunk it? I really don't care as long as his goal tally is in double figures and starts with '3' for many seasons to come.
Due to my insider knowledge.. (get me!) i don't know whether to believe the story though! My lovely 'friend' Stuart who took me on the tour on sunday said that kit man lays out 2 long sleeve and 2 short sleeve shirts before Anfield games and he made no mention of Mr Kitman giving El Nino special treatment.. although i'm sure a little bit of Nando puppy dog eyes would be more than enough to get his own way!

Spaniard to win the Ballon d'Or

Iker and Nando topping nominess, Messi, Arshavin and Ronaldo also strong candidates




Obviously i've edited the Cris pic so that you weirdos out there can enjoy the bod without the grease caked face.. Enjoy!

Having just read a totally gash translation on Marca I am now aware that Iker or Nando are apparently the top candidates for the 'Golden Ball', with Messi, Arshavin and that Ron-something dude also figuring.
As its a slow spanish baller news day (unless you aren't called Malin and want to see more of Nando's holiday in Miami, in which case check out Spain de Futbol.On a complete tangent how annoying must it be having your every move photographed when your on holiday! phew..) so i want some opinions on who the SBAers think should win it and why? or has anyone been overlooked? Sendy? Agger? Barton? (not very good, not very well, not very nice). I don't think our results will be a massive surprise but using the style of questioning i am given in all my worst exams- Discuss...

Look away now those who refer to him as 'El Freckle'

Blinkin 'ell! He may as well not even bother wearing shorts

Better Pavi?

We're all going on a summer holiday update

Nando was supposed to be in Houston on saturday at the 'freekick masters' tournament but had to let them down. There must have been a few broken hearts in Texas then, especially as on the website they were advertising where the players were staying and their flight numbers so you knew when they arrived at the airport! Prime baller stalking to be had there.
Note- If anyone really cares, Rafael Marquez won the 1 million prize money and David James was 'goldenkeeper' and won $500,000.

Update-
Nando has been in Miami since wednesday apparently (on his own Malin!) so all Nando stalkers can relocate from Texas to Florida forthwith!

He is getting some abuse for being pastey and while i agree its not a good look the guy has been kinda busy winning the Euro's and im glad he isn't some permatanned prat!
