Good morning to you, after a week of wonderful weather it's finally raining again - on the day of an old friend's wedding. How typical is that?

I had very strange dreams last night. I was the campaign manager for Kajagoogoo.

Hot summer in Madrid might be the year of turnover in Real's wandering campaign. The Illusion with Schuster cost Calderon and Mijatovic dearly. And it is most likely that now Galacticos era 2 is about to start under the lead of Florentino Perez.

Global financial crisis will prevent most of the clubs from starting aggressively on the summer market; Real and Barcelona with their practically unlimited budget, are definitely a potential main destinations for world football elite.

Real Madrid defeated Valencia with 9 men on the pitch. ok. Robinho didn't play. ok. Madrid played better with Raul and Guti off the field. ok. Robben can't score, dribble, pass or take on defenders better than Robinho but at least he can run down the right and left flanks with passionate strides of skillful dribbling until Real Madrid figure out what to do with the outstanding Brazilian who looks like he is on his way to Chelsea.

As a Madridista I'm already experiencing withdrawal from having to accept the fact that Robson de Souza "ROBINHO" will be taking his 'fantasy futbol' skills to Chelsea. Still, although I'm upset, I realize I'm not upset at ROBINHO, I'm upset at CALDERON and Mijatovic.

First off, let me explain why I've been lacking on the actual content side of things lately.
I hate the off-season in all sports, but especially so in soccer. There is no other sport with a "silly season" as public and pronounced as soccer. Papers and media outlets with little else to talk about speculate on rumors about where players are headed, who managers want to sign, where managers may take another job, and other similar topics.
