Village Idiot

A move to Barca should help...? Daily flights to Buenos Aires! But Real Madrid are the ones looking for a striker right now (plus I can't see us ponying up what ManCity is going to ask).

Not saying he is the father of the year or anything, but he's always been a very emotional person and I can perfectly see this affecting him, particularly after spending a week with them.

Well, I for one admit that as a person, Tévez doesn't really have an easy situation. His ex-wife will never allow to move her daughters closer to him, so he has to travel all the way to Argentina in order to see them. It's not all about money (particularly when you don't have to worry about it).

Mourinho was almost screaming for Real Madrid to sign another striker yesterday. Wonder if Tévez might be tempted to try it in Spain, since he doesn't even speak English to begin with. (I hope not!)

Ugh, the white patches. Spoil such a great striped shirt.

shockingly no Death by urine poisoning.

Just watching La Liga highlights and Getafe's Albín got sent off after taking his shirt off during a goal celebration while he was already booked. Gotta be thick Still, earned his team 3 points

You got me there.

Can I make fun of his English since I'm a Spaniard and thus it won't be racist?

Looks like George W Bush to me. Stuff of nightmares.

Sevilla sinking against Almería... 1-3 Piatti

Pardew's smile just gets me

Wrong shirt!

In another chapter of "let's link Real Madrid with anybody kicking a ball", today's turn is Pavlichenko's.

As said, it's a conspiracy theory, but the idea was suspiciously floated during the first galactico era by some of the Madrid establishment mouthpieces (that Madrid becoming a PLC would make them bigger).

There's always been this conspiracy theory around, that Pérez wants to buy Real Madrid outright by forcing it to become a PLC (his net worth is €2b). But fans would run him through a thousand sharp stakes if he did.

He obviously should have sent his players shirtless, the pansies.

suppose it just took him a bit of time to get used to the role and league, class player on his day Always thought he would excel in that position. He doesn't have the discipline to be just a sitting player but his surging runs were always wanktastic. Wish Pep had given him the "Keita role".

So far they can service all their debts (don't forget their revenue is €500m), the problem is if they want to keep the same levels of investment that Pérez has used to.

Abgonlahahahahahaor neither. Injuried again?

I've been told that those banks will only ask for the money back as a last resort because of Reals status in Spain Banks aren't just going to forget about €700m. Now, they can get favors like the training pitch business, but they had to do that because the banks were calling in the debt. Banks are banks.

These are the contending designs according to our press, apparently the board favors #1 but needs to be discussed with both Unicef and the Qataris. http://www.sport.es/vivo/recursos/fotos/foto_456/foto_456130_CAS.jpg I'd rather have us stop trying to have our cake and eating it and just drop UNICEF entirely (displaying the logo is just optional in our contract with them, afterall)

Why not? I can see that case being made for ManCity and Chelsea, but Real owe it to banks and banks aren't in the business of giving away money.

Yeah your right, it's still a big amount though. It is, and it is good that our new board has pledged to reduce it. But isn't comparatively bigger than say, Madrid, Atlético, Valencia, ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool before the takeover, and quite a few others...

Our revenue to debt ratio is smaller than a lot of clubs out there.
