Put it in the game thread please

 

In my defense, there wasn't one when I clicked reply, it just took me that long to figure out the damned brackets. I don't like the formation options, waste of time .

 

Damn it!

I didn't know this was for real until 5 minutes ago. There were several reports in late 2009 that RM will come in Albania and all of them turned out to be false. If i knew they were coming here i could have been there to watch it .

Anyway, in Albania 90% of the people support AC Milan. They don't like CR9 either so he might have a "special welcome" just like his last visit.



As far as the security goes the whole center of the city will be shutdown for a few hours. There will be extra police. I doubt that there's anything to worry about.

Although i am Albanian and i like it that RM is playing there i don't like it that it's for Taci Oil Cup. The owner of this company, Rezart Taci (oil magnate) has beaten up a very good journalist in Albania just because he asked him some questions that he didn't like. Of course, he was let go from prison because he is an important business man and he can't afford to be in prison. This same guy wanted to buy a few Italian teams (AC Milan was one of them).

I can't forgive myself for not traveling to Albania to see this game. I feel so dumb right know

I will try to post as much info and news about this once i read/watch them on local news.

 

indeed, very cool.

 

I'm sure Capello had something to do with this.

edit: Sheikh Mansour denies plans to buy Real

 

He couldn't anyway, so there is no point denying that he wants to, it's not even a talking point, he simply can't.

 

Investments aren't his strong point clearly.

 

Any suggestions that former Madrid president Lorenzo "Arrested For Fraud" Sanz



is related to Johnny "Underboss In The Sopranos" Sack



is wide of the mark. Any such allegations will lead to a lawsuit for defamation from Johnny Sacks' lawyers.

 

...and a visit from the boys with a horses' head from Sanz.

The ones with Guti are the best...
