last summer.
The superb run of form that has lifted humble Real Mallorca to fourth in La Liga faces a stiff test
when Gregorio Manzano's side travel to the Bernabeu to face Real Madrid on Sunday. Undefeated
leaders Barcelona, who were held 1-1 at home by Villarreal last weekend and have a two-point
advantage over Real, will be without striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic when they play at promoted Tenerife
on Sunday.
Real Madrid's tour of the U.S. West Coast to take on the San Jose Earthquakes and last season's
beaten MLS Cup finalists Los Angeles Galaxy will likely not be the only contribution Los
Galacticos will be making towards the development of U.S. soccer this summer. New manager Jose
Mourinho's implementation of policies that are significantly more strict than the ones in the past
is poised to result in club veterans Raul and Jose Maria Guti being forced to exit the
Bernabeu.

Cristiano Ronaldo has enjoyed a successful debut season at the Bernabeu even if his side as a
whole did not. Scoring 33 goals in 35 starts would be considered phenomenal by anyones standards
but such are the 25 year old's achievements some could feel that the former Man United man could do
even more and here he stands ready for a World Cup that could prove very difficult for his
Portuguese side.

Real Madrid 0 - 2 Barcelona(0-1) 32' Messi, (0-2) 55' Pedro
Barcelona dealt a decisive blow in the title race, with a dominant display in the Bernabeu in
Saturdays
Clasico which yielded a deserved 2-0 victory. A match that was
relatively lacking in quality but fraught with tension, two moments of sheer class from
Xavi Hernandez set Messi and Pedro free, with both finishing emphatically past
Iker Casillas.
Amigas, all we have to say about last night's game is that the Rossoneri
threw it away like a Carl's Jr burger wrapper on a marshmallow stove. Despite The
Dinho's brilliance, men like Huntelaar and Dida need to
be taken out because they obviously switched off in the second half and Leonardo
couldn't locate their manuals so that explains the 3-2 loss.
Sorry for the delay, sports fans, but I've been in Venice and I had the same problems trying to
get an internet connection there as I had in Milan. What the hell is up with Italy and the
internet? And the television, for that matter? Anyway, I'm in Nice now, with a connection, hence
this week, we have the Nice edition rather than the Venice edition.

Though Mourinho will forever love Internazionale, let's all remember that he really wasn't a
huge fan of Italian calcio. "I am very happy at Inter but not in Italian football," the former
Chelsea coach told Sky Sports. Asked why, he said: "Because I don't like it and it doesn't like me,
simple.
On paper it is a match made in heaven. In one corner we have Real Madrid, the biggest club in the
world, a side with some of the biggest superstars on Earth, men who are used to winning trophies
year on year but have recently been usurped by their bitter rivals.
In the other corner we have Jose Mourinho, the self-styled Special One - a born winner who has now
won the domestic title in three different countries as well as the Champions League with two
different clubs.

This one actually makes sense, as with Sami Khedira now installed at the Bernabeu, you imagine
Diarra's first-team chances will be strictly limited this season.

Whilst the summer of 2010 was a relatively quiet time for Real Madrid, all previous years taken
into account, January of 2011 could well see a return to form in the transfer window.
As his way, Jose Mourinho has made his mark early on at the Bernabeu and it seems that some of
the players who are not part of his plans could be shown the door mid-season.
Real Madrid will look to build on last weekend's morale-boosting victory over Deportivo La Coruna

From a footballing point of view there isn't much left to look forward to as far as Arsenal fans

No shocker here but a very good pick up for Jose Mourinho as they get a very efficient defensive
midfielder that covers a lot of ground, has good size, and has great pass completion numbers. For

Real Madrid 6-1 Deportivo La Coruna No-one is crapping themselves about awful Depor is a post
from: Just Football
"One day a team is going to pay for all the chances we are missing." - Jose Mourinho,
September 2010.
It didn't take long for that day to come. Deportivo La Coruña turned up at the
Bernabeu just weeks after Mourinho's bold assessment of his team and, over the course of ninety
minutes, put in a performance so unfathomably limp it prompted their own manager to describe them
as "the worst team in the league.
Jose Mourinho is often referred to as the Special One, but one thing Mourinho doesn't want to
be called is Harry Potter or any type of miracle worker. And just because the world's hottest
coach at the moment has arrived at Real Madrid don't expect trophies to just fall from the
sky.
Mourinho recently repeated his now famous line that he is "not Harry Potter" and the wizardly
coach also stressed that he hopes to improve the team other the span of years rater then just
days.
