A match where we could have done much better, here’s what I feel contributed to the 1-1 outcome. Injury: The biggest blow that we received was in the first fifteen minutes itself. You can’t pinpoint anybody out here, but I guess the cold, some poor warm…

In the past few weeks, we’ve seen quite a brilliant transition. Barcelona is going absolute downhill and Madrid are slowly but surely showing the world the prowess this team has. The players, the supporting staff, the whole club – they all are having a certain…

Hey listeners! I’m in a jolly mood today, courtesy of Apakshit, Tanuj and Aaron. We had quite a few laughs on the Q&A! But we still focused on the task at end –I mean, we’re serious journalists. Oh no, wait, we’re not …yet! Anyway, as…

For a moment I will let myself ride on the wave of overconfidence- the one that Mou, along with many others including myself, blames Levante's first goal on. Seriously though, a ten point gap is huge; while we could very well still lose the league if things implode,…

Sorry for the delay in this post, I wanted to christen the new layout with an edition of winners and losers. So for the record you can be expecting winners and losers as a weekly format for the foreseeable future, which means I will have to redouble my efforts when…

The past week has been a troublesome one in Catalonia. On Monday morning, it was like waking up from a mildly bad dream. The canaries weren't quite chirping as usual, and the tapas weren't tasting as good. Their cage had been rattled, and the Cules knew it. After…

Please excuse the forced alliteration in the title, but I couldn't results having Winners and Losers triple E. Here we will look at the team and figure out who ends the month on a high note and who ends on a low note. Winners Esteban Granero- El Pirata is finally…

Real Madrid are in a killer vein of form. If you overlooked 2 bleak outings and one spectacular performance against Barcelona, we've won all of our last 24 games. Home or away, doesn't matter. Mou's boys have taken care of business regardless of the opposition. There've…

This is an initiative by madridismo.org joined by @RMadridInfo and @RMadridGirl. This past couple of weeks, Real Madrid player Pepe has been caught in a storm of bad press and unflattering media attention due to his controversial behavior on the pitch during Madrid's…

I almost didn't watch this game. 1 win out of 9 against the Cules and constant lying, cheating, and/or lucky breaks for the Catalans had my blood boiling. What was the point, I asked myself? We're going to get hammered once again. Tomorrow I'll have a dozen text messages…

There's been a lot of talk about the events of Wednesday night, and that'll continue to happen. For those of you who missed it, Pepe came under the scrutiny after the game for intentionally stamping on Messi's hand, and then for orchestrating a perfect swan dive, clutching…

Not That Way Most of the articles I post on here try to stay at least vaguely objective: sure I give my opinion a lot, but it tends to be strongly based on external, objective, discrete and less on emotional response. This is not going to follow that trend. This is…

There are very few things in life that you get a second crack at, and a chance to get one over the eternal rival mere weeks after an embarassing 1-3 defeat at home is thankfully one of them. With Barcelona brushing aside Osasuna and Real Madrid huffing and puffing to oust…

We sneaked through with a very nerve-racking ordeal with a victory and it is on to face Barcelona yet again. Perhaps the surprisely stern test against Mallorca was just the recipe for the proper motivation heading into battle against our mortal enemy. It would have…

It’s coming. Yes, we could all see it coming when the fixtures were made. It’s coming because there is still an imbalance and yes, because Mourinho still needs to have the last laugh. What does this El Clasico bring to us? Well, it clearly brings us a chance to get…

It was hard to imagine that football would follow the big clash against our bitter enemies from Catalan. Despite the potential distractions that arise after losing such a crucial match, Los Blancos were able to finish 2011 with a string of three wins. In the following…

Every other saturday night, the Santiago Bernabeu turns into one of the noisiest places in Europe. On some Saturdays, it's hard to hear even your own voice in front of you through all the cheers, whistles, and ultras. You cease to be individual and blend simply into a giant…

So, we’re heading into the Christmas holidays on a high with a victory in the Copa Del Rey. Yes, the Barcelona loss hurt, but we’re League leaders so that’s definitely one important reason to cheer about. Now, that football has taken a backseat for a while, let’s…
