It’s amazing how things change on a dime, isn’t it? I’m just flashing back to the end of the last transfer window when my heart was crushed into a million pieces. I’m a neutral in this case, but it still makes me so incredibly sad. Mata loved, and was loved by, Chelsea. Continue reading
Training, More Nominations, Checking in with Sami, and a Familiar Face
4 DecMethinks Sergio is bitter about the comments I made about his hand gestures yesterday….I can see the anger in his eyes and the indecision in his hands. You’re still my favorite Pony, Sese!
“Special Ones, GO!”
29 AugMeant to post this yesterday, but Mou is getting his own Portuguese animated kids show! I read about this being developed awhile ago, but now there is a clip available. Can you imagine rolling out of bed on Saturday morning, dragging your hungover arse to the couch with a bowl of Wheaties and turning on the TV and seeing Mou? Actually, I’m kinda used to doing that because my TV viewing on Saturdays and Sunday is EPL or La Liga, but you know what I mean – animated Mou! The trailer for his new show Mourinho and The Special Ones is after the jump. Continue reading
Real Madrid Preseason 2013: Part II
12 AugLawd knows we love trophies and Lawd knows after last season, we more than deserve all of them…ok, most of them 😉 If Cristiano & Iker can lift awards and trophies in the preseason, I sure as hell am going to hold them to it when we get down to business with La Liga, the CdR, and Champions League. Who’s with me?!?!

WTF Pep?
28 Jul
Watishista number1barcachick shared this video (in slo mo) of an angry Pep Guardiola slapping Thiago Alacantara across the face during the German Super Cup. My jaw dropped when I saw it. Ridiculously unprofessional. Say what you want about Mou, but I never saw him smack one of our players like this. What’s going on with Pep? Is the pressure getting to him already?! Cules/bi-teamuals, is this normal behavior from him? I’m just so surprised by this. If that shit had gone down on an American team, I’m betting the players union and a few lawyers would have gotten involved. Not cool, Pep, not cool.

Mid-day Update
10 JulOkay, it’s only mid-day because I never seem to make it to bed until the wee hours. Here’s a couple of things and more later.
Calleti & Marta were snapped in Napoli where he underwent a physical today. I’m sure the pictures of his contract signing, etc. will be out soon. (Via @NapoliSphera) Continue reading
The End….for now
4 JunI’ve changed my mind. I take it back. I don’t want this season to be over & done, I’m just not ready. I thought I had made my peace with the fact that Mou would no longer be with us next season, along with a number of our players, but…..come the final match, all my acceptance went right out the window. Seeing Mou in the tunnel, seeing the boys chat in the tunnel, waiting for the beginning of the end, it just did me in and then Pipa goes and drops a bomb the size of his ass, saying he wants to leave?? My life officially became a Cymbalta commercial. No joke. My iTunes library certainly wasn’t helping the matter either, putting together the saddest shuffles known to man. Talk about Ode to Depression. I know at this point, there’s nothing we can do but try and figure out how to deal….it’s not going to be easy, but hopefully launching into NT mode will help. And cake. And lots of ice cream. And lots of sobbing into your ice cream. WAHHHH!
