Wanted: Decent Midfielders

It seems that the Bianconeri are determined to make me as miserable as possible. First, they don't broadcast their midweek game to Dirtbunny. Then they lose it. To Toto and Quag, of all people.



Then they start the worst midfielder in Serie A. Then he gets injured quickly and they have to blow one of their subs right away to bring in a player who should have started in the first place. Then they give up three goals to the sardines. The Sardines! The only player making any passes to the center, the only one delivering any service at all was ADP. Which is all well and good except that he's a forward.

The midfield needs some serious help. In honor of that, Dirtbunny calls up two midfielders to FC Dirtbunny in the hopes that some of their karma will rub off on the Old Lady. Today we bring you two Iberians. They are both injured right now and not playing, but Bunny hasn't forgotten them.


First, Chelsea midfielder and Portuguese international Deco (although he's one of those Portuguese internationals who is actually a Brazilian).




And second, Arsenal midfielder and Spanish international Cesc Fabregas.






God bless them both. They can handle the ball, they can make plays, they can provide outstanding service, and I'll bet they both can tell good sangria from crap sangria. Rangers fan will please note that they both play in England right now, although the rumor mill is that Deco has had enough of Europe and is ready to go home to Brazil when his contract expires. If he does that, we'll never see him again because there is no coverage of Brazilian futbol here. Of course, now that he plays for FC Dirtbunny, Dirtbunny has his passport, so he'll stick around as long as Dirtbunny wants him to.


Also, if you hadn't noticed, they both do their talking with their game, not with insolent hairstyles, and that's what I call a good example.

That's a heaping helping of good karma for the Old Lady! Marchioni wishes he was that good in his dreams, poor guy.....
