The last bits of the La Liga Season went by without incident, Real Madrid won the league after a long spell outside the promised land, and the trophy stable is full once
more with silverware. Oh, and speaking of stables, this weeks column is on Rutgerus Johannes Martinius van Nistelrooy, RVN for short in this column, and the multi-million
pound signing for the Merengues, straight from the Old Trafford glue farm.
I went into the research for this week with an open mind, looking for my usual brand of scandal, outrage, and infidelity. Surprisingly, the modern footballer isn’t always as shallow and self-serving as we expect him or her to be. Our boy Ruud is just that kind of fellow.
He married a certain filly, Leontine Slaats, in 2004 after a courtship measuring practically half his life. He was playing for a small club at the time called Den Bosch and he came under the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, and the race was on to sign him, but since “kak” in any language is easily translated, he waited before going to England and transferred to PSV Eindhoven instead. He did meet his childhood sweetheart there before leaving for greener pastures.
I won’t get much into what happened at PSV or Man U, needless to say he met psychotic Irishmen and drunken Scotsmen, and most of those were in the stands, but after having seen his friend Becks leave for Madrid, he decided (or was pushed out of the starting blocks by his wayward owner) to leave for the sunny shores of landlocked Madrid, where his talents as a goal poacher would be ignored and ridiculed for some reason, but he would have the last laugh as his goals would lead to a La Liga championship for the santeros.
I wish I had more dirt on his wife, but they live a quiet life with daughter Moa, they run charitable functions, and they seem like a genuine couple who love and respect each other. Oh well, maybe Robinho has trick up his sleave?

A better lens into the World's Game. We talk about UEFA Cup, Champions League and International matches, especially when they intersect with teams in Spain and Italy, we talk transfer rumours, gossip and everything else that revolves around the world's greatest game.
I think you can get 3 for the price of what you'd pay for Kaka and Ronaldo. Aul...
here is my squad list:
GK - iker casillas & codina
DEFENCE: maicon,ramo...
I don't like the colour.
