Alcorconazo
 
Ok, so depending on your point of view it was embarrassing, sickening, shameful or funny.

But what's this.....


Anoche, el Madrid, herido en su orgullo, azotado con razón tras su desplante de la ida, tuvo otro espíritu, el de Juanito y el de Raúl. Con las gradas en combustión, como si en el cartel estuvieran el Derby County o el Anderlecht, el equipo de Pellegrini -abroncado por el bochorno- pasó un calvario. No por los apretones del Alcorcón, sino por la necesidad de gestionar sus propias angustias frente al reloj.
What???? Derby County??? Without wanting to cause offence to the Rams, I must be really out of touch with English football.

Ok it was past midnight, and I couldn't be bothered to get out the dictionary (sorry:o) but the result - namely a free translation - left me bewildered....
Last night, the Madrid, injured in its pride, whipped with reason after its uprooted of the departure, had another spirit, that of Juanito and that of Raúl. With the steps in combustion, as if in the placard they were the Derby County or the Anderlecht, the team of Pellegrini -shamed by the embarrassment- passed a Calvary. Not by the squeezes of the Alcorcón, but by the need to negotiate its own anguishes set against the clock.
???!!! I know, I know, I brought it on myself:lol:

Ok, so I can see there's not much interest in this one. But I can't let it slip into oblivion without posting this link, from today's EPS. Enjoying their 15 minutes of fame, complete with fotos and videos.
