It’s Official: Illarra Returns Home To Real Sociedad

Another one that we knew was coming…. Baby Xabi is returning home. (Heck, if I was from Basque Country, I probably would have never left. THE FOOD! THE SCENERY! THE MEN!)

Real Madrid C. F. and Real Sociedad have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Asier Illarramendi. The club would like to express its gratitude to Illarramendi for the dedication and professionalism that he has shown during his time with the Whites, and wishes him the best of luck at his new club.

Thanks Illarra. Give our love to El Pirata and Jailbait!

Tuesday In Melbourne

Another driveby as I’m heading out to meet watishistas Shigs & ForzaSusan for a spot of dinner before the PSG/Fiorentina game tonight.

Off To Sevilla & The Return Of G-Money!

Good news we’ve got the services of Gareth back. Good to know as we head into a crucial game.

Happy Birthday Illarra!

The fun continues! Sami looks mighty fine but I have the urge to scold Illarra like a nana: “SIT UP STRAIGHT, ASIER! YOU’RE ALL HUNCHED UP AND YOU LOOK LIKE A NO NECK MONSTER!”

Training Bras, FutVolley, Keepy Uppy & Other Tales From Marrakech

Jese, excuse me, *Jey M* (ahem) shows off his training bra.

I’ve got a bit to catch up on. Getting home after 10 PM from work last night didn’t lend itself to posting. It did however feature ordering take out and falling asleep while eating said take out. It was one of those days.

Time For Levante & Our Overpacked Month Begins

The team seemed to be in good moods today as they had their final training before traveling to Valencia. Sami certainly seems happy to be back and did exactly what most of us would do when confronted with Marcelo.

Monday Training

There were some great shots from training today. Marcelo, Arbie, Illarra , Nacho were put through their paces with U19 goalkeeper Marcos Lavín. Fabio trained on his own while he continues his recovery.

Prepping For Bilbao

After a day full of internet connection problems that kept me offline, I’m finally back and able to post. The team had their last training before tomorrow’s match against Athletic.
