Category: Champions LeagueSoundoff: Who Will Be 2010-11 Champions League Top Scorer?
By: Daryl |

As far as I’m aware, there is no award given to the UEFA Champions League top scorer. Which is slightly odd, because UEFA keeps meticulous records of who scored how many, and with which body part.
Top scorer in 2009/10 was Leo Messi with eight goals, and it was Messi in 2008/9 too, with nine goals. So who do you see taking the crown (FYI: there is no actual crown) in the 2010-11 Champions League? A few suggestions below:
Jose Mourinho Refuses to Criticize Jeering Real Madrid Fans

Seems there is only one force in the world that will make Jose Mourinho bite his tongue, and that’s the fans at the Bernanbeu. Apparently Mourinho’s Real Madrid were jeered by fans during their 1-0 win over Osasuna this weekend, presumably for not playing with enough verve or providing enough excitement. When asked about the crowd afterwards Mourinho was diplomatic:
“The public can jeer if they want and I can respect it,” said Mourinho. “I work for the total satisfaction of the public and they pay me to work and not to criticise the fans. I will never say anything against the fans of Real Madrid. Is it only at the Bernabeu where they demand more? I don’t know any supporters of any big clubs that settle for less. It is nothing new for me.”

Scary scenes yesterday during an Ajax reserves game involving Evander Sno with all the hot button phrases that spawn impromptu sidewalk vigils: “collapsed unconscious”, “foaming at the mouth”, “defibrillated three times” and “heart attack”.
He’s in the hospital, reportedly doing well, where he’s expected to remain for two weeks while testing is performed.

Preview: Barcelona vs Panathinaikos - With a tinge of Inter Milan and a Herculean effort?
In truth, I'm resisting the temptation here to fill this rather hastily assembled preview with a whole heap of clever plays on words and football cliches, par example: Panathinaikos' men will each have to put in 110% if they're going to have a chance of walking away from the Camp

Striking a Balance
Steaua on Thursday, United on Sunday...triage already? With squad depth and fitness an issue so early in the season, I fear the answer is yes. I'm typically not one to want to talk at length about prioritizing one competition over another---it's too tempting to ramble on about courage and honor and
