Calderón certainly sees the hand of Florentino in his recent defeat at the Extraordinary General Meeting; he said as much. The thing is, some of...
This is the same Helguera who was paid a 1 million euro bonus when he was allowed to leave on a free transfer to Valencia a year ago. The bonus...
Laporta's just announced Guardiola will be replacing Rijkaard at Barça from the beginning of next season - risky gamble or inspired choice? I know...
I thought picking Casillas was cheating? ;) On the consistency angle, I think Raúl's away form has not been anywhere near as good as his home...
Yeah - I note Sid didn't pick up on that in his reply to the forum - too embarrassed? But then, who would have put any money bacn in August on...
I went for Sneijder - I think he has what it takes to build a team around
Totally agree, laudrup. The medical team only advise, however, and are frequently overruled by either players too eager to return, coaches...
It was in Marca as well, but that doesn't guarantee that it is going to happen. So far this season, Saviola has been consistently passed over in...
I guess that last point is where we disagree, madridismo (respectfully, of course). I don't see Heinze as a great player, either at CB, or LB. In...

OK guys, if putting my blog address as part of my sig offends you so much, I'll take it off. Thing is, Heinze is not just a reconverted CB, he's...
It's not Marcelo's fault that he has been touted as Roberto Carlos' successor. And you're right, world class defenders in their teens (or even...
Who are the 3 LBs? If you mean Marcelo, Torres and Heinze then the first clearly needs to step up and fulfil the promise, the second is...
Refereeing decisions even out in the long run, whether the refereeing standards are high or not (and they're not high in Spain). Those who spend...
Thanks rhexis - glad you like the blog. Feel free to comment and make it better!
Oscar Fernandez's tactics were amazingly naive. Diarra and Gago were more than sufficient to own the midfield and give Guti enough room and time...
I think England is the more settled team - still, I don't know if Eriksson is going to make wholesale changes, given that this is a friendly. Does...
Re: Guti Beckham is still doubtful for that game. I think you're unlikely to see a very high-intensity game from the Real players, given that...
While I don't think that Camacho is likely to disclose any time soon the incident or incidents that triggered his resignation, he's clearly...

Real Madrid B play in Group I of the 2nd Division B (in effect, the 3rd Division). Marca has the latest results and standings at...
I don't disagree with him, based on current form - Real are not a team that instills any fear in the hearts of the opposition this season -...
