Sorry, couldn’t resist with all this fog. *Here’s your soundtrack for this post. I just want to note that the obsessed footy fans here have NOTHING in common with psycho Evelyn Draper in Play Misty For Me. Honest. For reals. I swear. (If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s well worth a rental. It’s the proto-Fatal Attraction, young Clint Eastwood is pretty damn hot and seeing the future Lucille Bluth go absolutely apeshit is priceless.). Anyway, back to our misty boys.
This was the last training session of 2012. The poor guys have to be right back to work tomorrow as we have a match on Sunday vs. Real Sociedad followed by a Copa Del Rey match against Celta on Wednesday the 9th.
And now a few bits and bobs to round out the old year. Sergio posted a picture with his dad and grandfather toasting the new year.
Calleti posted a few shots: with Sergio, with Marta, Paula & Curro, reminiscing about the team’s year and thanking all the madridistas for their support.
Mesut wished us all a happy new year with this cute photo. Happy New Year to you too, boo!
The Baby is having a contest to win one of his autographed jerseys. All you have to do is send him your most original tweet with the hashtag #varane2013 at his Twitter account: @varaneofficiel
Marcelo gave us a picture of him wearing a sweatshirt of his favorite video game Call of Duty: Black Os and Caio posted a picture of Uly.
I haven’t checked in with Carol Celico recently. She posted a picture of her graduation from her first year of culinary school. I’m sure Shiggers will have something to say about her learning knife skills!
She also posted a shot of wee Isabella wearing her shoes. Now we’ve all done that as kids, but most mamas don’t wear 6 inch stilettoes! I worry that the little one is going to break a tiny ankle in those skyscraper heels!
Since Karim hasn’t been updating his Facebook selfies, I turn in desperation to Remy Cabella and friends to give me my French duckface fix.
That one guy with the hideous chin beard (I believe it’s Remy’s brother) MUST shave. He is too damn cute for that nonsense. It’s like, yes, you’re old enough to grow facial hair and we’re proud of you for that, but must it be so UGLY?
And finally someone who is very happy to be ringing in another new year and rightfully so: Fabrice Muamba and his wife Shauna.
And now it’s time for me to take a power nap before heading out to dinner and to celebrate. Whatever you are doing tonight, have fun and be safe. We’ll be back just before midnight Eastern with our traditional year ending shot of Nando’s butt. Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2013!

I just saw this too. I hope the coming baby is a boy. The world needs a wee arbie. Happy New Years, all!
I love Fabrice and Shauna! Beautiful couple
They are, aren’t they? I’m so glad that they have the chance to be together and raise their beautiful little boy. His recovery was a miracle.
They are one of my favourite football couples. She seems like such a cool, down to earth chick!
