Desculpe, but it's our third Greaseano Saturday in a row and unfortunately, his persistent ankle injury means that he'll not ferociously parading around the field in the Derby Madrileno tomorrow. Yes, we hear the dejected howls all the way from the Moon, but they're doing all they can for him in the trance land of Amsterdam, so ya'll better APPRECIATE.

Vale, you gotta admit that Baby Benjie is adorable but bears no resemblance to his grandpa, The Dona. He does however, look a lot like Kun Aguero. Speaking of your favourite Grammy award-winning singer, he has been included in the squad list for tomorrow's Madrid derby.

Is this the curse of Rubin Kazan? Even exasperated Pep has run out of hand movements to last the entire game... and you know that's bad!

Anyway, after pulling off a shock victory at Nou Camp, everyone from the strange bloke who looks like Robert Pattinson on crack to the stray cat next door is wondering if the mighty Barca are really faltering.

What a great show the tifosi put on last night! Perhaps they couldn't all contain their whistles when Ricky got hold of the ball, but they certainly showed their cuori che sono grandi (big hearts) nevertheless.

NOTHING excites us more than meeting a fellow chica who plies her trade in the truly madcap world of the football media. So when Futbolita encountered Kay Murray, the fresh face of Real Madrid TV (which telecasts on Sky TV and Digital in Spain), it was a bit like talking to a long lost hermana.

Palmeiras-Corinthians will forever always remind us of that louco Brazilian film, Romeo and Juliet Get Married where the characters come from a family of opposing hardcore supporters. They would've loved result in yesterday's 2-2 draw!

Belleza! Napoli's Marek Hamsik and The Pied Piper of Higuain both netted in unexpected braces to steer their teams to a neat victory last night. Both of them deserve our Sunday Senor cap for this week... especially Hamsik who scored the decisive winner against Juventus.
