Grapevine News Round Up
By: Corey |I searched “international break” in Google images and that was what came up on the second search page. If the image looks familiar (besides being hilarious and very creepy) its because almost a year to date I posted the same image as the intro to a international break post of news. Funny how these things [...]
Roberto Carlos Returns to the Bernabeu
By: Corey |Roberto Carlos, one of Real Madrid’s greatest ever players and possibly the club’s best left back (we can debate that if you would like to), returned to the Bernabeu recently for a little tour of the ground and an interview with the official site and a few other news outlets. International breaks for ex-internationals are [...]
Be Still My Heart 2.0 – Arsene Wenger
By: Steve |Hala Madrid! This is a quick post as I’m off to bed, but ESPN Soccernet and Yahoo! Eurosport are both reporting that Florentino Perez will target Arsene Wenger as his new manager if (when?) he is elected president of Los Blancos again. Never mind the ridiculous notion that Wenger might ever leave Arsenal, [...]

Robinho – Good As Gone?
By: Steve |Hala Madrid! What up, Madridistas? I feel like I need to throw in a post here and there to take some of the heat from Corey, who’s been doing a ridiculously fantastic job blogging here. I just don’t know how you find the time to do it.
Anyway, as a follow up to [...]

By: Steve |Hala Madrid! What up Madridistas and visitors? Y’all enjoying Euro 2008 so far? I’m gonna do a writeup of the first few matches after the end of Group Stage 1, and especially of the Madrid talent on display – were Pepe and Sneijder the dog’s bollocks or what? Sneijder’s goal was [...]
Monday Morning Grapevine
By: Corey |The season is officially over now, with a 5-2 win over Levante yesterday at the Bernabeu. It was an interesting game, Schuster opting not to play any of the underutilized elements of the squad. A strange decision, but we were treated to some flowing, free scoring football none the less. I do not want to [...]
What Should I Write About?
By: Corey |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 [...]
Tuesday Morning Links
By: Steve |Hala Madrid! Well, i haven’t done one of these in a while, and in light of Corey’s recently busy schedule, I thought I’d take the time to post up some links for y’all to enjoy. Holla back in the comments!
Phil Ball’s latest column on Soccernet – The old master writes his latest masterpiece. [...]
