Barcelona vs Real Valladolid, March 23rd

He holds onto the ball, ice-cold. He freezes the defence of Real Valladolid and eventually he finds his team-mate. And he ain't gonna miss this. It's a nice tuck-away finish by Eto'o but believe me, this is all the kid. The kid stays in this picture, alright. Look at him, he gets the ball, he looks up, there's nothing on, he doesn't flight it in, he doesn't panic, he freezes them. He dances wide, then he finds the target. Brilliant Bojan Krkić! Magic Eto'o, all this young lad.

He had more rough edges about him than a pineapple...

Incredible power, Hoover Dam power again, by Yaya...

This kid could be the best thing on two legs since Sophia Loren...

Valdés has got his boots made in China - they're full of lead. He stays on his line, he's got to come and claim this one. Ah, the lads are talking under their breath - 'What the hell's Victor been on this morning? Must have been that salmon salad that he had for breakfast because he's looking awfully wobbly, Victor'.

You left out what I thought was the best part of Hudson's comment on Valdes. After talking about his boots being full of lead, Ray says, "The lads are talking under their breath, 'what the hell's Victor been on this morning? Must have been that salmon salad that he had for breakfast because he's looking awfully wobbly Victor.'"

Yeah, I started doing the full quote last night then cut it down again as it seemed a little unwieldy in full. Anyway, it's now restored, seeing as you wanted it...
