Off to Granada!

Iker’s Halloween costume is obviously a starfish. Well done!

Happy Halloween, watishista ghosts and goblins! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to plan a Halloween costume at all. I also haven’t had time to get a brow wax lately so I might as well throw on a Barca kit & scowl, bitch about pitch conditions, say I’m Xavi and be done with it. Alas, no matter what the state of my brows, I’m way too tall, blonde & Madridista-y to be Xavi. I also could give a rat’s about grass seed and sprinklers so maybe I’ll just skip the costume this year? Hope you’re all having fun and getting lots of candy. What’s everyone going as?

Training, Trouble & LFP Awards

Don’t know about you, but I’m still on a high from the Clasico win on Saturday. Watishista hopechaser is hard at work on the recap even as we speak.

Coach Zizou in Question

Some trouble is brewing for Zizou. The Spanish Football Association (SFA) has received a complaint that Zidane is coaching Real Madrid’s Castilla without having the necessary coaching badges. The complaint was raised by Miguel Galán, the director of the Spanish National Football Coach Education Centre (CENAFE).

Castilla’s New Mister

Or in this case, the new Monsieur. Real Madrid announced today that Zizou is taking over as Castilla’s manager for the 2014/2015 season. He will be assisted by youth coach Santiago Sánchez. Exciting!
