Looking Ahead to Next Year

By: Corey | Comments 6 Comments

This will be a discussion about where our players fit into our formation that was used last year and how tactically Schuster could use the massive squad he has at his disposal. So lets begin with a breakdown from the back.
GK:
Casillas
Dudek
Codina
Adan
Casillas will be the starter again, not that its a problem. Dudek has not left [...]

The Double Standard of English Football

By: Corey | Comments 19 Comments

For awhile now we have been hearing about how Real Madrid is using all avenues possible, whether legitimate or not, to lure Cristiano Ronaldo form Manchester United. And we have also heard of the backlash from the Manchester United camp of Real being less the honorable business men. But the truth is Real has made [...]

3 Young Spanish Midfielders

By: Corey | Comments 20 Comments

So after a terrific La Liga title winning season, we have all but a game that may or may not happen against Levante this weekend. So all eyes are on the moves that Real makes this summer in the transfer market, as its pretty certain that barring a bust-up, Bernadine Schuster will be the coach [...]

What Should I Write About?

I Wish Upstate New York/Connecticut Looked Like This
So it is officialy summer for me, which means I have started out a little lazy with posting as I sleep copious amounts and workout like crazy. But I will go back to every-other-day Grapevine posts, and remember everyone, my 1 year anniversary writing here is at the [...]

Thursday Morning Hangover

By: Steve | Comments 16 Comments

HALA MADRID!!! I don’t have a real hangover, just a lingering joyous delirium.

I re-read my liveblog and it doesn’t grow old - i love the fact that we were the hungrier team, playing solid, stylistic, beautiful football, the type Barca used to play and only wishes now that they could play. What a [...]

Real 2-0 Santander

By: Corey | Comments 5 Comments

Real got another important victory against Racing Santander this week to move one step closer to the Liga title. In what was looking like a tough game at Santander, Real acquitted themselves well with an assured performance and two opportunistic goals from Raul and Higs. Because Barca could only manage a 0-0 draw in the [...]

Island Hopping

By: Corey | Comments 15 Comments

In what was the beginning of our plunge into mediocre form, we take on Mallorca at the Oni Estadi this Saturday at 4pm. If you remember, the last time we visited the island, we were handed a shockingly bad loss by Mallorca, the only bright spot being Higuain’s wondeful strike (yes, a clean shot that [...]

What Is Wrong With Our Team?

By: Corey | Comments 9 Comments

After another embaressing loss to Deportivo on Saturday which keeps the “curse” alive for another year (18 in total), I question everyone as to why our team has suddenly began loosing games like Elliot Spitzer visits whore houses? It seems like they cant get a sniff of a win on the road, and in the [...]

Real 1-2 Roma

By: Corey | Comments 19 Comments

We all hope Steve did well on his date tonight and this recap will let him know he did not miss anything entirely exciting. Real went down 2-1 to a resugrnet Roma in what was an equally entertaining and boring enconter. The match started off with fluid passing and a flurry of chances for Real, [...]

What Exactly Is Our Transfer Policy?

By: Corey | Comments 19 Comments

Opinion Salad Yummm!
When Ramon Calderon took over last year, he promised some high profile signings. I didnt really care to much about that. Sure Fabregas, Kaka and Ronaldo are good players, but did we need all three or even any? Seems like we didnt, hell we dont even really need Robben seeing as how he [...]
