Ready For Leganés, Players On The Move & More

Mariano took part in the final training before meeting Leganés tomorrow. He’s been given the number 7, so no pressure there or anything. Lord.

Training, Mariano, The Return of Xabi And More

Hello! I’ve been off the grid since last week because mygypsyspirit came for a visit and we were busy catching up and eating all the things. Seriously, ALL the things.

Coming & Going

It’s that time of year, people. Lots of coming and going…

Arrival in Malaga

While I’m waiting for the match to start and freaking out, I thought I’d post some stuff from the team’s arrival in Malaga.

Ready For Eibar and More

The team had their final training session before heading off to meet Eibar.

New Year & Holiday Fun

Hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve and have been enjoying the day today. As promised, a bumper crop of what various ‘ballers have been doing on their holidays. There have been engagements, baby announcements, singing in the mirror while dressed in a towel (Cristiano), blue gradient shoes (Sergio), celebrating on a camel (Mateo & Lukita) and a rather ungracious joke about a rival (Toni Kroos, being a bit rude, IMHO).  Let’s dig in! (It’s long so be prepared!)

Didn’t think I would forget our boys, did you? Forward Mariano joined our cantera in 2011 and was promoted to the first team in 2016. He has represented the Dominican Republic at the senior level.
