Random musings of footballers before they fall asleep...

Lionel Messi

Hahaha sleeping on my head feels funny. ... I wonder if Santa got my letter. ... I really need that Lego Hogwarts Castle. ... I can't believe Dani Alves said Santa died in grease fire. That's not true at all. ... If everyone gets me Lego sets this year it's going to be the best Christmas ever. ... I really hope Pep doesn't give me a vest and a skinny tie like his again. ...
