Pre-Clasico Training/Rumblings In The Press

I’m very sorry to say that Albiol has not cut his hair as I thought. Look at that mess on his head. What is he thinking?! Does he not miss Arbeloa? All the papers are going on about team unrest.

As we’ve probably all heard, there was a story in Marca (grain of salt taken) which supposedly was a leaked conversation between Sergio and Mou.  Sid Lowe wrote an article about it and the whistles when Mou’s name was chanted yesterday and he makes it seem like a done deal that there is major problems with the team. Not sure if I believe that either.

Bits and Bobs: May 19

Little bits of news from here and there today. This is a doozy though. The other day in London, Kaka and Robin Van Persie played paintball in a novel way. There were soccer balls covered in paint that they kicked at a bunch of kids that are running around. Um, okay. Not sure who thought that would be a good promotional idea but there you go.

Bare Arses, Kittens, Curlers, Happy Returns, Sad Leave-Takings, Inspirational Tales, Tired Boys

Hooray for the Internet! Yesterday’s arse slide was bound to show up on YouTube and sure enough, one quick Google and I had the footage. Poor Filipe Luis. Can’t be easy having your arse bared to millions of people on live television, but honey, you have nothing to be ashamed of – that’s a nice booty! And check out my boo getting all aggro and shove-y. He’s a little spitfire when he’s after the ball. Remember when he shoved the referee?
