That's some bench!



They say that you can often gauge the strength of a club by who is sitting on its subs bench. Well tonight, Barcelona away at Real Sociedad has the following: Pinto, Abidal, Puyol, Iniesta, Mascherano, Villa nd Messi.

So that's: 3 World Cups, 3 European Championships,  12 Champions Leagues,  20 La Ligas, 1 Argentina Championship, 1 Brazil Championship, 3 French Leagues, 3 French Cups, 18 Spanish Super Cups, 9 UEFA Super Cups, 3 World Club Cup and 7 Spanish Cups, plus 3 Olympic Gold Medals and a Olympic Silver Medal.

Plus the reserve goalkeeper who looks like he should be a gay pornstar and who also has 3 La Ligas, 2 Champions League simply for being there and a Spanish Cup medal when he did actually play in goal.

Ah, the Camp Nou tour!

Impressive stats though. Pinto also has the habit of managing to appear at any fight/push and shoving that occurs on the pitch even if he isn't on the bench or even in the country! (OK that last it was exaggerated)

Ah yes Pinto, banned by UEFA last season for impersonating a referee's whistle - who says there aren't any personalities anymore.
