Messi was on the ground after being fouled by José Callejón when Pepe appeared to deliberately tread on the left hand of the world player of the year. The referee booked Callejón but took no action against Pepe, who was on a yellow card.
The Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who had been following the match on television, tweeted: "Pepe. What an idiot."
That drew a response from the retired former Real Madrid player Guti, who wrote: "I laugh at Rooney. There are plenty of saints – in heaven. If he wants to be a saint, he should set an example. Making mistakes is human."

Why does Agüero have a ü in his name, is it some sort of Motörhead thang?

U-diaeresis
Several languages use diaeresis over the letter U to show that the letter is pronounced in its regular way, without dropping out, building diphthongs with neighbours etc.
In Spanish it is used to distinguish between "gue"/"güe" and "gui"/"güi": antigüedad (antiquity), pingüino (penguin). This is also the case for the Nicaraguan demonym, Nicaragüense. Similarly in Catalan language,
"gue~güe" are [ɡe]~[ɡwe], "gui~güi" are [ɡi]~[ɡwi], "que~qüe" [ke]~[kwe], "qui~qüi" [ki]~[kwi],
as in aigües, pingüins, qüestió, adeqüi. Also ü is used to mark that vowel pairs that normally would form a diphthong must be pronounced as separate syllables, examples: Raül, diürn.

i think both of these players are kind of disappointing given they were the best teenage players (messi excepted) ive seen
twp we know abt but aguero has developed as a predatory forward without quite becoming the allround player suggested by his destruction of barcelona in 2008
hes still pretty great tho and he could get there
twp is still prone to patchy form but now he at least converts chances during times when his general play is lacking

I wonder how Aguero'd look in a tactically looser side, where he could be the fulcrum of the attack. Like Spurs this season, in the role VDV tries to play or a little higher, with Adebayor and Bale pulling defenders wide. I expect he could be individually great like that.
If he were something other than Argentine he might get to try it at int'l level. But at least he and Messi seem to combine well.

he missed about 4 tap ins if he had put them away (and then others magic another 3 goals) maybe their team could have won on goal difference.

He took that goal extraordinarily well yesterday, it kind of got lost in amongst everything.

his mediocrities are lauded as brilliance, so tbh it's fair

yr thoughts
it's been a week for the twp debate.
there are those will point to his status as the main/consistent goal threat for the champions/runners up for the past how long, but i mean the alternative view could ask whether that omnipresence as focal point is not typical ferguson fuckyousery and that omnipresence explains the stats rather more than his performance explains the omnipresence. So it is, and has been, since maybe 2005ish.
That he has declined dreadfully in technical derringdo and competence is, we hope, not in question, nor that he has perhaps consciously (word loosely utilised tbh) reined in street striker wayne in order to bulk up the stats already referred to. benefit of doubt accrues to twp here, but it feels like the subjugation of a leviathan talent in the service of an unworthy cause, darth vader or w/e, rooney's comfort eating, opponent mangling and contract wrangles are akin to the fallen anakin's mindchoking of deathstar planning officials, a manifestation of protest from a trapped and frustrated former prodigy freak beast genius.
Moot as fuck, of course. Nobody would pay what utd would have to charge.
In the meantime, berbatov slinks off towards fulham and the sinister bearhug of a jol previously wronged. What smooth beast slouches toward futhlaham to be born? Strange days.
Anyway, aguero.

anyway you're right, no one's going to pay the required price at the moment so there's probably going to be at least another couple of seasons of under performance
