Ready For Roma Again

Lord, I take some time off to concentrate on my personal life and all hell breaks loose. Oh Real Madrid. I can’t turn my back on you for two minutes, can I? 

I Think We All Knew This Was Coming

I’m not going to say anything about El Clusterfuck because mygypsyspirit will be sharing her assessment. However, as far that performance, I think we all knew that Julen Lopetegui would be heading for the unemployment line this week. I’m not sure that instability is what the team needs right now, but I don’t write the paychecks so… Anyhow, here’s the official announcement. ESPN had an interesting take on the situation. Santiago Solari took over as interim manager today. Do you think the sacking is fair? Do you think Solari will be the permanent replacement? If not, who will come in? (Conte appears to have removed himself from the running). And will our team ever stop feeding the Drama Llama?

– Lozil

So Yeah, We Did That

Leave it to Real Madrid to feed the Drama Llama the extra special Purina llama chow.  I just can’t. As I was telling watishista M in the comments, I’ve been dealing with major upheavals in my own life, hence, why there has been almost no posting besides the Drools since the Champions League final.  I have not been able to handle one iota extra of clusterfuckery and as we all know, our beloved team serves it up by the truck load. Case in point: our new coach, Julen Lopetegui.

Prepping For The Second Leg

Cristiano. Sigh.

Sooooooo….how about that first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, eh? That was…well…

Ready For Sevilla (Again) & Sergio Dramz

The team is all ready to meet Sevilla for the second time this week.

Thursday Training, Drama & An Anniversary

The team continued their preparations for the weekend. Pepe & The Baby joined the group.

Rain & Train, Even More Drama and Twinkle Toes

The team had a bit of a rainy training session today. Everyone was out on the pitch along with Castilla’s Marcos Llorente. Sese ran on his own.

Like A (New) Boss & Some Regrettable Behavior

It was all about the double ZZ today as Zizou helmed his first session as the boss. It coincided with the team’s annual open training so he got a lot of love from the fans and the squad.

Let’s Hope This Isn’t A Case Of “Start As You Mean To Go On”

What did I say just yesterday about easing up on the drama? Being Real Madrid, that just couldn’t happen. After spending a quiet New Year’s Day mildly hungover and binge watching Jessica Jones, I get text from Shigs about someone going on a high speed car chase with the police. First thought was Benzema, naturally. But then she said “like Benzema” so my brain said “Oh c’mon Jese, JFC.” BUT NO. She texts again and says James. JAMES RODRIGUEZ?! WTH?

This One Time At Banned Camp And Getafe Tomorrow

Soooo, as everyone has probably heard, Real Madrid has been banned from the Copa Del Rey. But has that stopped us? Erm, no.
