  Dear Soccer fans,

  I was pretty amused when I received the following message from a diehard
  Real Madrid fan (I've edited it to protect the guilty party w) *'s): 


>You stink man, Courna stink, everything stinks,....
>But we will be back, darn it we will be back,
>we will RULE again, and show it once again....

>You guys , all of you, you just compete for second place..

   How to analyze this literary marvel, Real Madrid fans?  Let me count
   the ways...

   1)  OK, I admit it, I stink, what is your point?
   2)  What the hell is Courna, anyway?  At least you should be able
       to spell out the name of LA LIGA's most irrepressible force.  
       Is it all those years of championships, great players, etc., that
       spawns such illiteracy and biterness?  I mean a little respect for 
       the better team, please.   
    3) If 'Courna' indeed stinks, by your standards, the malodorous airs
       emanating from RM must be reminiscent of a cesspool. 
    4) Exactly what is the 'it' you are going to show again?  Inform 
       me of when you are going to expose the 'it' so I can brace myself.
    5) Call me crazy, but I'd rather be competing for 2nd place than that
       glorious 10th place RM is valiantly struggling to maintain.

 
    CONCLUSION:
                 a) Sorry RM fans, the better team won.  Tough it out.
                 b) Don't attack us 'other guys' vying for 2nd place.
                    Heck, I hardly rubbed it in when one of my modest
                    teams, OSASUNA, WHIPPED YOUR SQUIRMING BUTTS 4-0  
                    IN A MOST PATHETIC RM DISPLAY @'la casa blanca.'           
                 c) Guess what?  You don't even have to feel inferior
                    for liking RM and write such anal retentive attacks   
                    after Barca also succumbs to the force (assuming
                    no injuries, natural disasters, etc.).
                 d) Cut your own team some slack.  You can't even compare
                    a Ramon Mendoza to the magnus imperator, AUGUSTO
                    CESAR Lendoiro. He's the brain behind the operation. 
                 e) Don't buy into the excuse that Floro is 'running the
		    players to death.' Who came up with that one? That's
                    like saying that Albacete's players are naturally 
                    genetically superior soccer players (they may be).  
		    How is it that all us "other guys'" modest/not 
                    teams manage to play at the premier level without
                    such a varied assortment of 'pretty boys.' Damn 
                    straight I would run my butt off for 'Buitre bucks.'

 
   What is there left to say?  The Super-Depor machine is for real, folks.

   *******  De Madriz al infiernooooooooo!  De Galicia a la luna!  *********
