Merry Pre-Season Eve!
20 JulOh pre-season, how we’ve missed you! Peeps, are you ready?! Those tanned & toned legs sure look like they’re ready. I love this time of the season, when everyone’s all mushy, gushy, optimistic, energetic, and damn ready for some footy & a fresh new start. Breathe in the good, breathe out the bad, and visualize lots & lots of goals & trophies.

Animo Tito Vilanova
19 JulSadly, it was revealed today that Tito Vilanova has resigned from his coaching duties, due to a recurrence of throat cancer. As you may remember, Tito took a couple of months off last season, to get treatment after a relapse, so it is very saddening to hear that he is sick once again. We wish him and his family all the best and hope he kicks cancer’s ass once and for all. It feels wrong to speak of his replacement at the same time as his resignation, given the circumstances, but a club is a business that must keep running & these are the details they chose to share – assistant coach Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia, ‘Rubi’, will temporarily assume Tito’s duties and a new manager will be announced next week.
Animo Tito!

Updated: Get Well Soon: Tito Vilanova
19 DecI was very sorry to hear today that Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has suffered a recurrence of his cancer. He had a cancerous tumor removed about 13 months ago. Barca will make a statement later today about the 44 year old coach’s condition. Real Madrid made an official announcement wishing him well and extending support to his family and club. Several RM players have also offered support through social media. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tito and his family. Let’s hope he makes a speedy recovery. Animo Tito!
UPDATED: Tito will undergo surgery tomorrow with a hospital stay of 3-4 days followed by 6 weeks of chemo.

1 El Clasico Down, 1 to Go….for now
27 AugAfter yesterday’s Liga result, I thought I’d get to this recap first since the first leg of the Supercopa was a much better turn out. Sure, we lost….BUT we did score first, got two away goals, and we had Di Maria – oh how I loved that little moment with Valdes! Di Maria’s goal made the loss bearable, I think. And best of all, we still have a chance to win this thing. In two days time, the first title of the season will be decided and it’ll be on our home turf. Vamos Real!….and if we don’t win, we didn’t want it in the first place. 😉 Continue reading →
