One of the fun things to do every year is see what outrageous fashion appears at The Best awards. I mean, Dani Alves is always worth a look – remember when he went apeshit with a bedazzler? And Messi never disappoints in his sartorial faux pas. Ah, but our Sese in a class by himself as is his missus. The happy couple hit the plane attired in their signature idiosyncractic style. Special shoutout to Pilar’s tangerine studded leather jacket because that is truly something and Sergio is just bein’ Sergio. Note the Frankenshirt. I swear to fuck, this man cannot purchase something that hasn’t been pieced together from seven different other garments. I bet his fave Dolly Parton song is “Coat of Many Colors” Anyhow, at first glance, it’s Frankenlicious, but tame for Sergio. But you really need to see the full thing…

Monday Training, Ballon d’Or Noms & Club World Cup

The team got back to work today (and I’m getting back into it too).  The big news was that Toni Kroos rejoined the group.

The Daily Drool – Epic Bromance Month: David De Gea & Juan Mata

Tall and tiny, the Llama and the Care Bear. David & Juan bro it up at United and on La Roja.

De Gea Drama: All In The Family

Can I just tell you how very disappointed I was when I saw this headline in my inbox and clicked on the link excitedly only to find that Rafa’s mother hadn’t actually commented on our goalkeeper transfer fuckery?

De Gea Drama Part III

And the dramz continues! LFP President Javier Tebas said that Real Madrid’s story was closer to the truth than United’s. Cue the outrage!

De Gea Drama, Round 2

Oh, c’mon! You didn’t think that Manchester United would actually take that RM statement without comment, now did you? Not with a hungry Drama Llama to feed! 

De Gea Drama

It wouldn’t be Real Madrid without some epic drama, now would it? We all watched with bated breath as the transfer window neared closing, only to find the deal with Manchester United scuppered in the most clusterfucky way possible. Let the finger pointing begin!

Chicharito on El Chiringuito

Javier Hernandez was interviewed on the El Chiringuito show back in early September, and, thankfully, someone has kindly translated and added English subtitles to the video. I quite enjoyed the interview, though they really didn’t need to bring out every pundit they could to pepper him with questions.

The Daily Drool: David De Gea

Goalkeeper David plays for Manchester United. He has represented Spain at the U15, U17, U19,U20, U21, U23 and senior levels.

World Cup 2014 – Group B News Round-Up

Hello, everyone! It’s been a fantastic few days of football, hasn’t it? Our boys in Group B have been training for their next matches. No one’s caught them skinny-dipping, or managed to get Spain’s roommates list (I still live in hope), but here’s the good news and the bad news…
