Madridista Of The Month is a new feature on RealmadridTalk. As a matter of fact, it is an old one but it was stopped when I came to OleOle and now here it is again!

It basically features a Madridista who talks about themselves and the club. For the January Edition, I have Tony Rage who lives in Orlando and seems like an awesome Madridista! 

If you want to be featured, please send an email to rajab (at) oleole.com!

Enjoy!

Adam: Hey Tony, thanks for being the Madridista of January on RealmadridTalk. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, where you live and what you do for a living?

Tony: My name is Tony Rage, I'm 29 and I'm originally from Venezuela but I have been living in Orlando, Fl for about 8 years now. I do many things. I'm a...

Cristiano Ronaldo was just six years old the last time Real Madrid beat Deportivo De La Coruña at the Riazor stadium. Yes, it has really been that long, and it has become over the years another jinx added to that of the UEFA Champions League.

The club tried to appeal Ronaldo's red card twice but they were denied and now according to AS, a third one could reduce the suspension to just one game instead of two which means he will still miss the Deportivo clash but will feature against Espanyol the following week at the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo has undeniably been essential for Real. While we survived without him when he was injured, it was crystal clear that a player like him is truly influential. He is a striking force upfront. He is full of passion, drive and hunger. He always wants to win. He always wants to score...

What a performance from Guti! You see, he is a genius. Nobody can deny it. His performance last night was just amazing. He simply outshined Alonso. He was the maestro. He was active and his vision for the game was great. His passes were accurate and they resulted in two goals and countless chances.

His trouble is just he is inconsistent. He really has the potential to be better than Xavi and Iniesta and I dare to say it; he can be the best creative midfielder in the world If he stays consistent. His lack of consistency is not a physical problem, it is just a mental one and If only he was determined, he would improve in this aspect. 

Just imagine If he kept it up like this for the rest of the season. I'm sure we would play much more better as a team and with him, Lass and Alonso we will...

IT IS OFFICIAL, RUUD GOES TO GERMANY!

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has officially been transferred to Hamburg after negotiations ended between his agent and the German club. It is a free transfer and it is also not a loan as many thought -- and Real Madrid fans will have a chance tonight before the Malaga game to say a farewell to one of the most humble, hard-working, talented and powerful footballers the world has seen.

Ruud moved to Madrid in 2006 as per Capello's request. Many questioned him because he was not at a young age and not at his peak, but he is a kind of player who, thanks to his discipline, is always ready, physically and mentally to perform at a high level. In 97 games for the Whites, he scored 64 goals. Now go and find someone at his age who can...

Hamburg Sign Van Nistelrooy

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has undergone a medical exam at the Sanitas Moraleja clinic today as Hamburg closes a deal with Real Madrid in the next 48 hours. The deal will go through because Ruud, although has had a serious knee injury recently, has passed all the medical exams and is not part of Pellegrini's plans.

If you remember, I was against selling Huntelaar and keeping Van Nistelrooy because I was thinking long-term, and as you know, Perez' didn't think short-term let alone long term. He opted to keep a 33 year old "unhealthy" Van...

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you'd know I'm a pretty pragmatic guy even when it comes to football analysis which is usually subjective. I always try to see things from many perspectives and remain as fair as possible.

Now with the issue and possible signing of Franck Ribéry, I want to answer the question of whether Real Madrid needs him or not. 

Many people have formed negative images of Ribéry. A friend of mine and a fellow blogger called him a "scareface' which was really offensive to me. It is purely unprofessional and it is just not right to say. 

Ribéry might not be the best looking guy in the world, but what does that have to do with football?...

KS Gramozi Erseke 1-2 Real Madrid - Full Match Report

First off, I didn't watch the game as I had to rest in bed after having chest problems while playing football. However, I did see the goals and I must say the pass Guti made to Benzema who scored Real's second and winning goal is a masterpiece.

The podcast is back. Apologizes for the delay -- I'm sorting a few things at the moment. Also, apologizes for not posting a preview, you understand :)

Anyway, so give the podcast a listen before the game. I host Kevin, Mark and Corey and we discuss Higuaìn, Ronaldo, Benzema and tonight's game.

Listen to it below, or you can download it to your computer here. Ignore the silly music at the beginning, Kevin will put the Real Madrid chant back next week.

There's a new lady in Raùl Albiol's life. Her name is Alma and she is a beauty to behold.

She doesn't say much. She is Spanish, petite and it was a case of love at first sight for the defender......after all, she's his daughter.

Albiol's girlfriend has given birth to another baby girl, just 10 months after having their first daughter, Azahara. Footballers have a lot of time to kill between games, alright?!

Boys that look like Raùl and have a footballer status to go with their purrrdy face are not used to being given the runaround by the chicas. But little...
