Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:55:25 +0000 http://www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/?p=589#comment-1396 This was the most unbelievably biased piece of spin I have ever read... You seem to gloss over the fact during the first tenure as president he did quiet a lot of good things before he got carried away... and unfortunately he made some errors, grave errors. You've, unsuccessfully, attempted to portray Real Madrid as a farce and a joke but... it's a testament the great club that is Real Madrid that they still have been the highest earners in football even though they have been knocked out in the last 16 of the UCL for the last 5 years. You seem to enjoy focusing on the problems of Real Madrid rather than providing the average Joe with a fair and unbiased view of who Real Madrid actually are... there is no argument statistically they have the best history of all time... an unparalleled 31 domestic titles over shadowing 19 of Barcelona, who I might also add believe they are Catalan first Spanish second... Real Madrid's European Cup Haul is more than Manchester United's and Barcelona's combined... and being voted best club of the 20th Century make's your whole argument seem rather toothless... Might I add... your very biased blog seems to condense the whole history and glamour of Real Madrid into a mish mash of 5 years underachievement of spin and half truths... associating them with the likes of the nouveau riche Chelsea or Man City... You cannot deny history and you cannot predict the future... Why does Kaka reject £500,000 a week and a whopping £105 million fee to move the the so called "farce" of Real Madrid and agrees a mere £120,000 a week wage and AC Milan agree for a £56million fee... One of the most respected talents and a devout Christian signs for Real... because he wants to embarrass himself? I doubt it very much... People learn from their mistakes and I doubt you can call the appointment of Zinedine Zidane a bad move... Perez has indicated and expressed to the fans that he has learned from his mistakes and being a Real Madrid Fan I am obliged to trust his actions and intentions... although Im going to be cautiously optimistic... Perez faces an uphill battle to regain face with the Bernabeu faithful and also restoring the glory days... I wish him good luck... He's going to need it! As botched daylight robberies, blatant tap-ups, poor transfers and wild goose chases are synonymous with the Calderon and Mijatovic regime... the speed at which Perez can acquire players is astonishing so there's maybe something good about him after all... Speaking of tap-ups, Perez tapped up Zidane by writing "do you want to play for me ?" on a napkin and passing it to him in a restaurant... a nicer type of tap-up wouldn't you say...

I wouldn't include Ronaldo, I don't think he's had that great a season. Most of his goals have come from penalties and free kicks and a lot of games he's done nothing else. I would choose Anelka as the second striker. Real Madrid remind me a lot of Newcastle.
