To be honest, I'm far too busy to do this anymore. However, I woud be so supportive of the Spanish squad if they'd just get rid of this ignorant racist shithouse. Is everyone else blind?

Oh well.

Racism never prospers

At the time of going to press, there was no photo available of the face of Luis Aragones as the the third goal went in. Scored by Zidane, ex of Real Madrid, as is the racist Aragones. Still in his post after all this time despite unacceptable racist remarks about Thierry Henry of Arsenal and France.
The Spanish FA thought that a derisory fine was enough to deal with this racist outrage, presumably hoping that Aragones would lead them to World Cup victory. Well all the bull and bluster of charging through the easiest group in the tournament has come to nothing on the night when it mattered, and the sight of this ignorant shithouse bowling around on the touchline to bully his charges made the inevitable end to this charade all the sweeter.
Now's the time - a la calle!

Barça 2 Madrid 0

We're back (but why?)

After a long absence in which we wondered whether having a page about madridismo really involved paying far too much attention to madridistas, we've decided to come out of self-enforced hibernation. In part, this was prompted by the comments to the last posting, both of which caused much mirth here at a-m.
"Viikset" claims to be a "professional"journalist - writing for Scatology Today or something similar, it would seem - though a quick look at their blog confirms immediate suspicions: yup, a madridista. "Xavigr" is a little more confusing - in fact a visit to Club-antimadridista will find that we are listed there as a sympathetic site with a link back here; we have received hundreds of hits from that site itself. In gratitude we include a link here too, something we should have done before. The link at club a-m has a comments section, and we have received a few, though with mixed response. One comment suggests we're not anti-madridista enough, while another goes on to complain about comments we made about Luis Aragones. It's worth remembering that this page's mission statement was to be anti-madridista as well as anti-racist, and Luis Aragones has proven himself to be a racist scumbag on more than one occasion, and yet remains in his post, strangely - we don't apologise for complaining about that sort of behaviour.
It's also worth remembering that we write for English speaking audience primarily, though we're happy for anyone to drop in and query anything we've written, if it isn't clear.
So here's to 2006 and here's hoping for another blank sheet for the team we all love to hate.

Cockroaches are a higher life form

It's not that we can't think of anything to say when Madrid win, which of course they do on occasions. It's more the fact that, well let's face it, it's bloody good news - and therefore newsworthy - when they don't. We could go on about Beckham's second recent blatant handball in last weekend's game against the lowly Alavés, but we won't. Unfortunately, the most noteworthy aspect of the game was the Alavés president's racist comments about the three Madrid Brazilian players - who did the "cucaracha" (cockroach) dance to celebrate their second goal. Piterman (for that is the scumbag's name), declared that "Everyone knows that cockroaches are black". Well round here Mr. Piterman we have a whole armoury of adjectives to describe racists like yourself - we'd be happy to deliver them in person if you'd like to make contact. Elsewhere, Barça have a couple of goleadas under their belt after two 4-1 victories this week in the liga and the champions. The first, was declared to be the result of referee's assistance (?!) by the madridista press, which was strangely silent on Beckham's handball. Celta knocked Getafe off the top spot despite their drubbing of the other Madrid team atletico, but then we don't carry a torch for Getafe either after their racist attack on Eto'o in an earlier meeting. Not all madrileños are of this mentality but there's too much of it around that's for sure. Anyway, another weekend of matches coming up, and though Princess Raul will be all puffed up after her 50th euro goal, there's still plenty of room for more newsworthy events to come as the geriatricos lumber on.

Cold turkey

Is the festive season over already? Madrid sent our own Bilbao packing with a resounding 3-1 win - this we recognise. However, to be fair the comments of Fernando Lamikiz, the Bilbao manager, are a fairish if partial reflection of the real state of play. Madrid dominated the game for about 20 minutes and made the most of it to stretch the margin by two goals in their favour - Bilbao deserved a draw. There was plenty of bad blood about, as there always is between the most Basque of teams and Madrid with all their Madridismo - just take a look at the sea of fascist propaganda at the Fondo Sur end of the ground, not to mention Princess Raul's antics every time the two meet. The game degenerated into a hacking match as it so often does, with Woodgate unwhittingly entering into the spirit of things and trying to cripple anyone coming his way. That was why he was given a rousing ovation as he left after being sent off - this was Bilbao and he'd been having a go at the Basques (even if he didn't realise it). Still, he managed to score his debut goal, even if it was in his own net and provided us here at a-m with moment of well-appreciated mirth (see photo). Thanks Woody keep it up, let's hope your first hat trick's just as impressive.
