Andy, interviewed Rivaldo this week and says he's a fine guy. He feels unwanted in Barcelona and just wants to be loved - why his form has dipped? he's meant to be very knowledgable about football in general and extremely unpretentious and unflashy.

Have to say though, he was pants in the 'Derby', as they all were. Though Enrique or PK are top players.

Just wants to be loved? It's a two way thing matey - sounds like irreconcilable differences. Not sure that kind of attitude would get you far at St James Park. We tend to like players to earn our respect (and love).
