What a day! In the midst of a grueling post-celebratory hangover, work, fandom drama, coming home to do schoolwork and answering your many super sweet supportive comments, I just realized that I forgot to actually write up the game recap! ARGH!
That’s going to have to wait until tomorrow (well, today…). But in the mean time, please accept some links to some other articles that caught my eye today. I may not agree with all the viewpoints, but definitely interesting reads:

Cesc, looking cute, but making highly controversial comments in Don Balon
The boys returned to practice this morning (seriously?! I feel their pain). The session was closed to the press probably so no one could see their hung over arses and so that Sese the Cup Slayer didn’t have to endure taunts from the press every time he picked up a water bottle, snood, cell phone, etc. (“Watch out! He’s gonna drop that phone and someone’s going to drive a bus over it! Aiiiiieeeeee!”) I’m sure he took enough crap about it from his teammates. Poor bebe! The game vs. Valencia is Saturday at noon Eastern time in the US. Will we (the fans) survive April? I’m starting to wonder…
And I will leave you with a lovely picture of my boo, enjoying what I hope is the first of many titles with Real Madrid:
Poor Sergio is going to be hearing copa jokes for a LONGGGG time! Someone tweeted that if he ever has children he wont be allowed to hold them
