Back To Madrid, Accolades & Families

The team returned to Madrid after Wednesday’s win over Bayern Munich arriving home on Thursday. The game was fun but exhausted (the trip back seemed to take forever). Mygypsyspirit and I spent the following day recovering and hanging out. She left today so I’m getting back to work on things with a very quick catch up.

Man, Sergio is going to be so jealous when he sees that monstrosity that Karim is sporting, actually that should be monstrosities plural. The hat is wretched too. I know it’s raining here in NYC but jeez!

Hot For Teacher

Crispy is off on vacation in Saint-Tropez with his buddies hanging out on a yacht. As you do.  He took time out of his busy lounging schedule to teach the bros his famous goal celebration.

First (Double) Training At UCLA

I know mygypsyspirit is gonna love this Sweaty!Arbeloa photo so I had to put it first.

I apologize for the slow updating this week. My family is in town visiting. This is a phrase that incites bone deep fear in any adult New Yorker. That means going to places you normally avoid like the plague (Times Square, for example.) Pray for me. I’m gonna need it.

He Hasn’t Changed A Bit

Well, except for the hair. But other than that, it’s easy to identify Karim Benzema. He’s even got a wild hued/patterned shirt on.  (It starts early, apparently) Too fabulous. Let’s hope Melia gets Chloe’s brows, though.

Mami, Papi & baby were in Ibiza on vacation this week.

Sometimes life is so unfair. Andrea Pirlo is chillin’ in New York and I have yet to run into him.  C’mon out to Brooklyn, Andrea. First beer is on me. However, if you intend to get as drunk as you did celebrating Juve’s Scudetto, you’re going to need to pony up some cash. I’m not made of money, sir. But no matter what, CALL ME.
