Updated: A Few Quick Bits & Bobs

Arbeloa, I know you love me because you’re wearing a Brooklyn Nets jacket. It’s your secret shout out to me and I thank you. Don’t worry, darlin’, I won’t let any one know of our love. WHOOPS!

Wednesday Training, Lots of Goodies & Leo Torres Falls On His Bum Some More

Spring has sprung and our sexy croissant is throwing flirtatious looks around (and for once, they’re not into his own camera phone).

A Bit Of A Catch Up

I’ve been incredibly busy for the past 5 days so I’m going to try to do a quick catch up post, although I know that I won’t be able to fit everything in. Yesterday was Mother’s Day and many of the players posted shots with their mamis and/or partners. Easy to tell Marcelo’s grin anywhere, isn’t it? He’s barely changed!

Toothy Bits & Bobs

Lots of bits & bobs to get through. My emergency dental appointment was fraught with drama and insurance snags. In the end I was begging “Just yank it! For the love of all that’s holy, just yank that damn thing!” And after several hours wait, they finally did. I’m home now with an ice pack on my face, less one wisdom tooth. I’d rather be having some of Calleti’s birthday cake, that’s for sure.  Alvaro & Carlota provided a lovely Oreo cookie cake, which everyone had to pose with and/or photograph.

Karim Gets A Captive Audience, Mesut Speaks, Bits & Bobs

We were today gifted with 10 minutes of translated presser (translation kicks in at about 30 seconds or so). I particularly enjoy how annoyed Karim gets with the headphones in the beginning. I know they’re not Beats, hon, but try to cope. Especially when you have a whole room of people hanging on your every utterance, Mr. Forever Alone.

Bitsy Bobsy

It’s taken me hours to get this freaking post up. One work crisis after another. Sigh.

The birthday boy posted this adorable shot with Alba today and said the cake was courtesy of the “Family Callejon” aka Jose and Marta. (Arbetti, it’s so on!) Fabulous sex beard intact, Arbie makes 30 look soooo good. Albiol charmingly posted a tweet that translated to “Happy birthday to my friend @ aarbeloa17 you’re on the third floor … soon in the attic and no emergency exit 😉” NICE.

Play Misty For Me*

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.

Bits & Bobs: Now We’re Cooking With Sass And Extra Added Peen, Apparently.

Sese tweeted a shot of himself cooking and said that he enjoyed his day on his friend’s farm. *I* enjoyed these half naked shots of him on the beach in Ibiza.

Bits & Bobs: New Hats, Old Hats, Class Acts – Jakarta, Marbella, Mallorca, Brazil, Jaizkibel

Well apparently Sergio survived the bachelor party (hopefully Carlos did too) and it turns out that they’re all in Marbella. Here’s Sese on the beach today with his new hat. This time, he’s repping the Yankees. I’m sure at least 8 of you will have a shitfit about that. 😉

Lotsa Bits & Bobs: Bebes And More

So Spain progresses to the semi-finals and will meet Portugal. Argh. It’s hard being a Madridista. Congratulations to Xabi Alonso who not only celebrated his 100th cap for Spain, but scored a brace to carry them on to the semis. Hala Xabi!
