I have watched you play many games, and have observed your remarkable talent for Diving. That is, falling down like a clown when no one has actually touched you. In important games. And getting carded for it. Interesting then, your take on what is an acceptable tackle, in a relatively meaningless game, against a team that has little bearing on your own club’s future. Because that was pretty bad, that tackle. And pretty, pretty, pretty obviously intentional. Meaning, you meant to take Sneijder down. So, dear Abou, I’m going to go ahead and lose my composure here. Fuck you, you fucking cunt rag. love,

p.s. sorry Corey, I usually try to avoid profanity. But that shit really pissed me off.

Unfortunately, they can’t say the same for Ruud, so here’s hoping that Calderon has been doing some shopping that we are unaware of. Whatever happened to offering Klaas-Jan Huntelaar? I saw today on goal.com (I know, shaky sources) that Van Basten reported no one has offered Ajax for the striker. Let’s just sign the rest of the Dutch national squad while we’re at it, Calderon must really like that country for some reason (hmm?).

Oh yeah, 9 Champs League, I agree that Gutierrez is the man who takes responsibility, let’s hope that Guti handles that well. In my opinion, more of Real’s attacking capability hinges on his shoulders than any other player out there. When he’s focused, his passes are pretty much unstoppable. Madrid needs his leadership in the midfield.

I can’t wait for the season to start.
