One of the fun things to do every year is see what outrageous fashion appears at The Best awards. I mean, Dani Alves is always worth a look – remember when he went apeshit with a bedazzler? And Messi never disappoints in his sartorial faux pas. Ah, but our Sese in a class by himself as is his missus. The happy couple hit the plane attired in their signature idiosyncractic style. Special shoutout to Pilar’s tangerine studded leather jacket because that is truly something and Sergio is just bein’ Sergio. Note the Frankenshirt. I swear to fuck, this man cannot purchase something that hasn’t been pieced together from seven different other garments. I bet his fave Dolly Parton song is “Coat of Many Colors” Anyhow, at first glance, it’s Frankenlicious, but tame for Sergio. But you really need to see the full thing…

Tuesday Training & More

The players not called up for international duty had their second session of the week.

Training, FIFA Best Shortlist, International Duty & More

Nice little victory yesterday, no?  And Courtois got his debut! I’m not complaining about winning our first three games at all. Let’s keep it up.

Off To The UEFA SuperCup

The team headed off for Tallinn, Estonia to meet Atleti in the UEFA Super Cup.

It’s Official: Courtois Arrives, Kovacic to Chelsea

Well, it’s a done deal! Thibaut Courtos has joined Los Blancos from Chelsea while Mateo Kovacic has headed to Stamford Bridge on loan for the season.  Keylor, however, isn’t giving up without a fight.

The Week So Far…

I make a whole big statement about starting to post again and then promptly get felled by an epic bronchial infection that has had me flat on my ass all week. Typical.  Anyhow, I’m slowly starting to come out of it now so I’m going to try again! There’s the bulk of a week to catch up on so I’ll do a drive by.

Training For Basel, Winning! & A FIFA FIFPro 2014 World XI Nod

The team had a closed training yesterday but today we got a glimpse of their activities. (Training video) Castilla’s Álvaro Medrán joined in again. Sami & Pepe worked out indoors. Lukita worked on his recovery. Illarra returned to the group and Jese was with the gang as well.
