"In a month’s time, it will be eight years of my arrival at FC Barcelona. In July 2008, I arrived for the first time in this club and sat in the locker room at in which I have lived the most important achievements of my career. From the first day, from the first training under the orders of Pep Guardiola, until the last of this last season, I had the good fortune to be able passionately enjoy football. I have dozens, hundreds of images recorded in my mind of moments shared with all of you in the Camp Nou, from the pitches of big stadiums in the world, to the streets of Barcelona… so many goal celebrations, much happiness in the form of titles. I am a privileged, a hardworking honorable footballer, to whom life he has allowed to wear shirt of the best club in the world in a prodigious decade for the quality of its players and coaches.

I could name one by one all the extraordinary teammates with whom I have had the pleasure to overcome challenges and difficulties in the multiple ways in which they have been presented throughout this time, but I prefer to give you thank them collectively because in the Barça’s locker-room there is no place for individuality: we win together, lose together. And we work together. And pulling of the nave, presidents, ‘misters’, technical staff, workers in the club … to all of them, thank you because I have always seen my effort rewarded with their trust and support.

With this letter I do not say goodbye, I just want to let you know that I have taken the decision to seek a new challenge in my career, because stages - also those which are beautiful and glorious- one has to know how to begin, enjoy and finish them when the time is right. And my point is this.. I am leaving but I will come back, because I am another culé.

Thank you for making me feel so loved"

By GQman2121 Go To PostNew owners not messing around. This came together from a rumor in like a week or seems.

Saints are going to be a very appealing post. Giggs definitely is going to throw his name out there.

“I rang Mark Hughes. Robbie [Savage] wasn’t in the Blackburn team and I asked Mark if we could try to arrange a deal. Sparky said: ‘Yeah, yeah, he’s lost his way here but he could still do a job for you.’ Robbie’s legs were going a bit but I thought he might come up to us [at Sunderland], with his long hair, and give us a lift – the way Yorkie [Dwight Yorke] had, a big personality in the dressing room. Sparky gave me permission to give him a call. So I got Robbie’s mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: ‘Hi, it’s Robbie – whazzup!’ like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: ‘I can’t be fucking signing that.’”

Alan Shearer 'threatens' Sunderland fan with envelope full of EBOLA

The footie legend lashed out at Sunderland fan who claimed he would rather receive a package of the deadly substance than a signed t-shirt by the retired striker.

Andy Miller posted: "I'd rather get an envelope full of Ebola in the post than a shirt signed by him."

He also branded the ex-Newcastle star a "Weetabix headed c***".

Shearer, 45, was autographing England shirts for a competition by bookies Coral.

He shot back: "Send me your address and I'm sure I can arrange that".

But now the former Blackburn Rovers ace has been accused of trying to launch a "terrorist attack" on keyboard warrior Andy.

-I want to do something important- said Lucas Vázquez. The players looked at each other. When someone speaks like this you should leave him alone. "Let him take all of them", said a player.
There's an agreement in the dressing room: Lucas' penalty made them believe for three reasons. First, Lucas' childish gesture of rolling the ball in his finger as if he was a Globetrotter. "Some of us couldn't even walk, others couldn't even look, and that bastard goes to take his penalty as a child in a friendly", says a player. The second reason to believe was that he shot with the same tranquility, giving them the feeling that this wasn't going to be Oblak's night. And the third was that later, after his goal, Lucas addressed the fans grabbing the crest. "That gesture! The fans went crazy! It was the first penalty and it looked like if we had already won"
