Ready For El Derbi

Oh boy, what a disappointing few days, eh? That midweek loss sucked and then there are the sick and injured.

Training, FIFA Best Shortlist, International Duty & More

Nice little victory yesterday, no?  And Courtois got his debut! I’m not complaining about winning our first three games at all. Let’s keep it up.

Wednesday Training & Events

Lots of activity today! Training, an Audi clinic and a Movistar event.

Ballon F’ive

I’m back! Kind of…I brought back a very special souvenir of my vacation – some sort of tropical crud that ended me up in the hospital last night – I kid you not – so I’m on doctor ordered bed rest for the next few days. But I would be remiss if I didn’t do a brief post to celebrated Cristiano’s fifth Ballon D’or! Well deserved!

Ready For Tottenham: Leg 1

Tomorrow, the Champions League resumes and this time, we welcome Spurs.

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.

International Break Time

The international break is once again upon us. Doesn’t it seem like the last one was like a day and a half ago?

And You Get A Contract Extension, And You Get A Contract Extension And You Get A…

…”partial tear of the adductor muscle tendon in your right leg.” Okay that SUCKS. Animo Mateo! Bring your lovely self back to us soon.  Let’s hope there are no more injuries to our boys.

But some good stuff happened as well. We started off our Champions League crown defense with a 3-0 win over APOEL. And then there was the matter of some contract extensions that make me, for one, very happy.

It’s Time For International Duty

The great international duty exodus has begun…

UEFA Super Cup Campeones!

We’ve won our first trophy of the new season (despite Sergio’s haircut). Start as you mean to go on I always say!
