Tracked down Emi's mural (they just call him "Dibu" here) in Buenos Aires yesterday. Have my Villa '81 retro shirt with me but it was too hot to wear it.




If anyone doesn't know the Dibu thing it's because they think he looks like a cartoon character:

I wonder why Owen's getting involved with all those friendly trips to Anfield he had to endure after Madrid. Don't be a ****** then, Michael.

Nice find, didn't realise you were heading to Bs. As. as well. Hope you made it to Iguaçu Falls in the intervening days, and managed to catch a game before the league ended. It's a funny city. Great food and wine, Porteños aren't always the friendliest, can be sketchier than Rio, but on the whole I've really enjoyed my trips there.

Obviously brilliant, wouldn’t change him, but in overall level I think this has been his poorest season for us so far. He’s still made some amazing saves, but he’s bern quite indecisive. Hope he finds his best form again for the remainder.

He's saving himself for the penalty shootout in the Champions League final.

Been a bit off in the last couple of games.  Poor positioning for the second, although a lovely finish.

He saved like 5 1v1’s today.

Letting one get by on the near post was poor, but he had some great saves today.

He's definitely having a poorer season, guess he's not alone.

I can’t believe anyone is criticising him for today, his positioning was fine for both shots he stood no chance.

Looked like he was on painkillers during the game.

I doubt he won't be criticising himself for being beaten at the near post, even if it was a good strike.
