The latest message from Paul:
Hi there again.
Well we are all back in Madrid and ready to get back to action: Atletico - Zaragoza may not seem the most exciting start to the season, but Atletico have got some good players this summer and it should be interesting.
Then we have a week off for international matches and back with Real Madrid; who despite buying the Beast, still don't look that good. THey beat an MLS side with Landon Donovan in it 5-0 on Tuesday night, but to be fair they were pretty poor (I won't say anything about MLS side to avoid upsetting anyone) however, they had only flown in the day before and only worked together once before hte game.
The Beast is playing on the left and looks a bit lost. Now we all want to see Robinho, who people say is incredible (can he adapt to Spain though?)
Madrid have got their own film out here (REAL: the movie) we went to the Premiere on Thursday - my advice is save your money, it's pretty bad..apart from the American story, when the main personality is watching a game, it is a WORLD SPORT match with Sid and I commentating!!! - clearly the highlight of the film........
Apart from L Liga, we may do some UEFA Cup games, at least until Euroleague Basketball starts up again in November, some decent trips to France i hope to stock up on wine......
Michael Owen may leave Madrid, still in the balance, Barca have been good in pre-season while Villarreal and Betis have qualifed for the CHampions League.
RIght that's it for now, I'm sure we'll bring you more up to date during tomorrows game. so sit back open the beers and enjoy the show. cheers PAUL
PS RealMadrid TV should now be available in the US, we did a lot of old games for them in English and dubbed a lot of programmes, If anyone can get it, I'd LOVE to know what you think...
cheers
Atletico Madrid vs.
Zaragoza
