I just got back from Christmas break and I found most unfortunately that my
computer cannot be hooked up to where I had it hooked up before, so that's why
I haven't had the time to post the highlights like I usually do. I promise that
I'll be good next week and start posting all of the happenings in each game. 
Sorry about this...

And on another note, I'm not referring to anyone in particular here because
there are several people at fault for this, but I am getting rather annoyed at
the mail I have been receiving flaming me because sometimes I say that your
team played like shit this weekend. When I say that a team played like shit, I
am not just making it up, they really DID play like shit. And this includes
Real Madrid, my beloved guys in the white uniform, who have played like shit
for the last three years. I am not just harshing on your team because I have
a particular aversion towards it. All I have a disliking to are Ramon Mendoza,
Jesus Gil, and Jose Maria Ruiz-Mateos, the presidents of Madrid's three clubs,
who are three Crooks with a capital C. So I would really appreciate it if you
didn't take it so personally when I say your team played badly, because your 
team CAN play badly too. There are several solutions to this problem:

1. You grow up and learn to accept life.
2. You don't read my messages if your feelings are hurt.
3. I stop writing my postings altogether, which screws the vast majority of
people who can actually appreciate my reporting. I'll have all of you whiners
know that I spend valuable time and effort putting together the Spanish Soccer
News every week, and that I spend over an hour typing it up. I could be doing
something much more productive instead, but I'M NOT. So if you don't think
I am capable of providing an accurate report on the games, then I'll just pack
up and say FUCK everyone of you and keep all the news to myself. 

Like I said before, this does not apply to anyone in particular but a little
group of whiners in the Spanish camp. I assume they can read English since that
is the language I post in, so that's why I wrote this one in English even
though it only applies to the Spanish guys.

I'm sure I'm going to get mail this week about this, most of it positive but 
two or three also from the whiners, who will put me down once again. To the
whiners, if you don't like it, then stop reading it and buy yourselves a short-
wave radio.

I'll be back next week, in a much better frame of mind.

Later, Dudes.
