"Miscellaneouses"

1 - Güiza: despicable the fans, as habitually (not a Cádiz problem, overall I say), for all we know he only told he would never play for them, not that the city and/or the locker room smelled funny; 2 - Fàbregas: ¿Por qué no te callas?. Oh boy, everything was simpler - and BLOODIER - with Terry Butcher and Stuart Pearce...

More stuff about the "beautiful" game, read my updates on Mehmet Topal in case you have not heard of them. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 18:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

• Seriously? Serves him right for having cancer! Now, poor jokes aside, completely inhumane showing from the club. About the Cádiz faithful, I surely preferred their old approach (here http://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/mar/27/europeanfootball.sport1)... --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:11, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Christian Stuani

1 - I see 100% eye to eye with you on that grammar remark, seems like a typo and it should be "de Stuani", not "d'Stuani"; 2 - someone has commented on the article talkpage that his Twitter says he is named "Cristhian", but pending better proof (creator could have given birth to the TW page while drunk!) I think we should "call" him "Christian" per most reliable sources; 3 - on an unrelated note, why is the page protected, for a couple of wrong box additions and no vandalism? Who ordered this?!

Feedback

Hi, I noticed you have some experience in promoting good articles, DYK and also reviewing them yourself, plus have ventured into Portuguese football in some articles I'm considering nominating 1999–2000 S.L. Benfica season and 2000–01 S.L. Benfica season to GA, and since it's my first adventure into GAN, I'll though of getting a unofficial "peer review" of someone else before deciding. Can you have a look at them and point me what's wrong, or missing, so I can fix it? You know, that well-written, verifiable, broad, neutral, etc...--Threeohsix (talk) 13:09, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, do you think they'll pass a GAN review as it is, or they still need work? Should I put it to peer review or would be a waste of time?--Threeohsix (talk) 10:48, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

"Portuguese" championship / Others

Today, S.C. Braga finished their game against C.D. Nacional with...ZERO national players, pieces of garbage (or "piece")!! Of course, they won.

Happy week --84.90.219.128 (talk) 19:07, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

• My bad, they did finish with one (Pinto) in 11, stop the presses! I stand by what I called Fonseca (and 99% of the managers of the Premier League, and Stefano Pioli - S.S. Lazio has THREE (!!) nationals in the entire squad - and so on, and so on). Thank you Athletic Bilbao! --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:03, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I think Guadalajara may be acting a bit too extreme, I don't mind teams (not national teams!) having foreigners, no sir. The joke was not poor, you need humour in these days, wish I could have more of it sportswise. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 21:12, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

• Methinks a 200-game ban is in order, how dare McKay (mildly) speak his mind? --84.90.219.128 (talk) 18:45, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

"Journalism"

Much like in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group F match LUX-POR, Hélder Postiga scored the winner (not the equalizer, the WINNER!), but who made the cover of A Bola (if I'm not mistaken, 99% sure, but could be Record), with the headline "X gives win"? Think you can guess who it was? --84.90.219.128 (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

• Could not agree more, kind sir. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Re:

Yes, you're right they seem to have gotten confused and made a mistake! I've never created a page before but I would be happy to contribute on this footballer! Cordiali saluti, Messirulez (talk) 03:50, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I will take a look at it tomorrow and see what I can find out! Best, Messirulez (talk) 04:07, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I see you supported the Liverpool F.C. FTC nomination. Would you be interested in checking out the York City F.C. supplementary nomination? Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

TPS

I don't know if you are aware of (you could be and say "None of your business, pal"), but the post you sent as a message to SLBedit, from Facebook, is a complete apology of hatred in sports. Maybe a language thing there that made you misunderstand any contents? Again, you can go Baldrick on me and say "Sod" (his middle name, one of the episodes tells us). Maybe you understood everything perfectly well (you are A.O.K in Portuguese) and were just being sarcastic?

Not saying that Benfica has a worse fanbase than any other club, nothing farthest from the truth, it's an epidemic. Even the players act out as loonies, I bet my soul Francesco Totti, due to his antics in several derbies, hates S.S. Lazio with a passion. Everybody (EVERYBODY, coaches, players, journalists) is also a fan, besides the ever-so-important-and-almighty fans!

Kind regards (ah, and what about this player Deportivo de La Coruña has just iced from contract after they found this demonstration of "love"? http://www.football-espana.net/52881/depor-cancel-julio-rey-over-tweet, practice your Spanish afterwards and see the "love" http://www.marca.com/2015/07/20/futbol/equipos/deportivo/1437423701.html) --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• Notice how both the Sporting and Porto figures have the smell of excrement emanating from them, while the Benfica, Braga and Belenenses ones (ranking first than the hated Zbording - insulting name for Sporting, don't ask me why - and Porto, of course, I am surprised they did not draw all 18 clubs and placed SCP and FCP 17th and 18th or vice-versa!) stand proud and erect. And the Sporting figure is also in the likeness of who, Mussolini?! I've seen/heard too much of this not to understand what's "cooking"... --84.90.219.128 (talk) 22:10, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I hope I did not step out of line with this "message about your message" man, not my intention. It's just that sporting rivalries really get me going, I find them absolutely nojento (dictionary moment for you, I wager). --84.90.219.128 (talk) 23:34, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• You seem cross. That's OK my conscience is clear, my aim was no enlighten not to judge. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Glad to hear it, me and my hastiness... I always react like that when I see people are wikiactive and don't reply to my messages, Nobody's Fault but Mine of course. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:32, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Memphis Depay

It clearly says "league only"? Yeah, you could've told me that in a less sarcastic way thanks. It can't be that clear or I wouldn't have made the edit and I tend not to read small print like that. I just made the (actually rather common sense) assumption that that figure is the total number of goals scored for a club in ALL competitions but, of course, there isn't much of that around in this crazy world these days.

Don't worry, I'll make sure I learn from my mistakes as, believe it or not, I do tend to make them from time to time but please don't address me as though I'm some sort of criminal just because I made an edit. I'm sure you're not that perfect yourself.
