The exodus continues. Our goalkeeping woobins Jesús is off to Levante, doing the ol’ switcheroo with Keylor Navas. Wishing him all the luck in the world.

This all went down yesterday, but I couldn’t cope with talking about it once I got home. (He’s signed a 6 year contract and will be presented tomorrow. Here’s some more info)
No doubt in my mind that Navas is a terrific goalkeeper, but…did we really need him? Nah. And of course, we already have plenty of drama surrounding our goalkeepers. Continue reading
Love was in the air this weekend when Nacho married his girlfriend Maria Cortes. Many of our players (present and past) were on hand for the ceremony with their ladies. Illara, Morata, Isco, Dani Carvajal, Jesus Fernandez, Arbeloa, Joselu & brother of the groom Alex. Continue reading
Someone has gone clean shaven for the trip to Vigo, I see. I’ll take my Xabi in any way, shape or form, so works for me. Continue reading
I love that once the title is secured, we know exactly what to expect next….locker room dancing, heavily gif’d shenanigans (bless the giffers!), and DRUNK XABI. A win just wouldn’t be the same without the latter!
Final training session before CL quarter finals tomorrow? Check. Another player to add to our growing list of injured boys? Check. Seriously, can we STOP with the injuries please?? It’s like everytime someone is close to rejoining the team, we find ourselves with another player on the way out. Ugh.
It looks like everyone is feeling the need for speed, except for Pepe. Look at that poor, little, gloved grip on the side of the golf cart! He probably would’ve jumped out if Benz was in the driver’s seat 😉 Given the weekend we had, it really is nice to see the boys in such good spirits. I know the smiles are helping me move on, that still doesn’t mean I don’t want to see them tear into Sevilla tomorrow!
I’m imagining that Chori saw this picture of Arbeloa’s flexibility and walked into a wall. I don’t blame him. Always good to show ’em what they’re missing! Lots to cover so let’s get to it. Continue reading
The world’s number one 300 fanboy, Arbeloa, got to go to the premiere of 300: Dawn of an Empire and he brought some buddies along: Dani, Isco, Illara, Nacho, DLo & Jesus. I bet Arbie annoyed the hell out of everyone by yelling “This is Sparta!” and “Tonight we dine in hell!” before the movie started. I’m also betting he added a whole bunch of new quotes to his vocab to repeat over and over on the way home in the car. It will be a miracle if one of those guys doesn’t leave him by the side of the road. Bless. I love how excited he gets by about things. Remember, this is a man who owns his own Game of Thrones broadsword. He is a hot nerd and I love him for it.
