Pause, breathe, footy

A while ago, the inflated head of a certain Lillywhite buffoon claimed he was shooting for the top at Real Madrid. Mistake prone (yet often trumpeted) Wilson Palacios essentially stated he was using Spurs as a stepping stone for further ambitions. Not that that has anything to do with my beef with him; a lot of players do it. However, they are usually good players. But, hell, I'm all for it. Get rid of the idiot. Heather hasn't learned who he is based on his quality footballing, but instead from the constant screaming she hears from the living room: "Fucking Palacios!"

Well, if Palacios going to Madrid (or anywhere for that matter) isn't sweet enough, I'm going to perk right up for the return option. Lassana Diarra is now rumoured to being pursued to come the opposite direction because of a falling out at Real Madrid. And as someone who watched him work some defensive midfield magic in person, this suits me just fine. Granted it was through some beer goggles, he was clearly the player of the TFC - Real Madrid friendly last August in a match that featured C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Higuain, Raul, Xabi Alonso, and, yes, even Dwayne De Rosario.

From Daily Mail...

Real, though, want a find a replacement before allowing the £17million-rated France international to leave.

Let's get this done.
