For no particular reason except that I like the photo (a recent version of many similar ones). There’s something sort of magical about going up a stadium stairs and that moment the pitch first comes into view, all bright and green and almost overwhelming.

When Villarreal signed Diego Forlan, they tried to get Manchester United to come and play a friendly. United said no. “Don’t worry,” the president said, “they’ll come — and for free”. The next year they did. They’ve played five times now. Villarreal have never lost.

Watching that Bale video. Is the overhead kick against Liverpool the most underrated goal ever? Not that no one thinks it’s brilliant — they do — but that it sometimes doesn’t seem to have the status it should. It’s an overhead kick in the European Cup final for goodness sake.
