Someone Broke Gareth, Well Suited, The Circus Visits The Circus & More
17 DecSo the mothership isn’t exactly saying who did the damage but they released this statement “The player Gareth Bale was involved in a collision with a teammate during today’s training session and received a blow to his left calf.

That’s The Spirit, Olímpic de Xàtiva!
17 Dec
What an absolutely delightful thing to wake up to! Our opponents in tomorrow’s Copa Del Rey match, Segunda B side Olímpic de Xàtiva, made this adorable commercial for Vodafone. Smiling and dancing around singing “Don’t Worry Be Happy” they couldn’t be more charming. Considering that they held us to a 0-0 draw in the first leg, I’m sure they’re in a relatively decent mood. Let’s hope our “good” team shows up and it’s not our evil twin that seems to fall apart at the drop of a hat. But in the meantime, enjoy the cute boys being cute. (H/T to 101 Great Goals)
