If I thought 2018 was a challenge, 2019 sure upped the ante. The world has gone mad on pretty much every level. And once again, football has had to take a back seat for me.

The Ramos Gets His Model On

Don’t know what campaign these are from (if you know, please tell me!) but I found them on FY Sernando. Sergio is looking mighty fine indeed.

I honestly thought nothing could top 2017 for sheer fuckery. To that, 2018 said “Hold my beer.” Real Madrid-wise, there were highs (Decimotercera for one thing) and lows (the departures of Zizou and Cristiano, our current confusing form, etc.) but through all of it, we persevere.

Watishing Into 2018

Lord almighty, what a year it’s been. I wish it could say it was a good one, but let’s be honest, overall it wasn’t. There was so much turmoil – even more than we could have anticipated. Along with the fear, anger and heartbreak, there were some things to celebrate though…

Okay, the universe obviously hates me. Zoolander came to the Bernabeu but THE TEAM WASN”T THERE! WTF, WORLD?!

Cristiano In GQ’s Body Issue

Aw yeah! Cris is the cover model for GQ’s upcoming Body Issue along with Alessandro Ambrosio. That’s a whole lotta physical perfection in one photo…and Alessandra is cute too. 

Pup-ita And More Napoli Action

Watishista/Napoli fan extraordinaire Maria Rosaria sent me this fanstastic shot of Pipita snuggling the adorable puppy of teammate Dries Mertens. Not sure who is cuter, tbh. 

FMR* And A Peace Offering

*F—ing Mercury Retrograde. It’s eating my life at the moment. So as a peace offering, here’s some Xabi (as much as it breaks my heart).

Cristiano Gets His Skills On – Both Ball Work and Modeling

Cris was demonstrating his some of his skills this past week. First up, he was showing off his ball work on Japanese TV show.

I wonder that guy playing keepy uppie with him is supposed to be in a Sergio Ramos costume to make Cris feel more at home? I mean, c’mon! Red & blue shoes, rolled up electric blue pants, green shirt layered over a white shirt, pink jacket and straw fedora with electric blue trim (last seen on Pipita circa 2011): that is Classic Ramos Casual.  Cris probably appreciated such attention to detail and slung an arm around the guy afterward and suggested a Big Gucci belt buckle buying binge. 

Well Hello There Tim Howard!
