I was looking around the network today when I came across this story on the Lion Of Vienna Suite, SBN's Bolton blog. In short, Sam Allardyce claims he had the opportunity to sign Eto'o while he was manager of Bolton back at the start of the millennium. Eto'o playing under Allardyce is a horrible thought anyway (no disrespect to Bolton), but just imagine how different things might have been if Barca missed out on Samuel...

I answered some questions for SlickR who runs a Valencia blog, feel free to check it out! Also, for those waiting on the Player Ratings for the match, I ran into a few computer troubles, but I hope to have them up within the next day or so

The senior team were not the only ones in action last night, and they were not the only ones to draw as Eusebio's B team were held to a 1-1 draw by Segunda Division B side UD Logrones. Javi Espinosa got the equaliser from the penalty spot in a game that also saw the débuts of Agostinho Ca and Sergio Araujo.

A nice piece from Marca
