good news first.

What a cute story:

Pepe Reina was the makeshift translator in his efforts to persuade Austrian referee Konrad Plautz to give David Villa the match ball, a tradition after a player scores a hat trick

Why didn't he just grab it and ran away? He can outrun the ref, surely.

[of_doom]

LOLOL maybe he thought he'd get carded?

[mocasines]

Maybe, but it would have been funny to see.

You know, I think Rafa sent our Spanish contingent out there on a mission and they're all trying to get Villa to sign. This is probably my conspiracy theory prone mind talking, but it's fun to think that Xabi is touching him during trainings and trying to get the ball for him because of that, and that Nando was acting like an excited puppy because of it and Pepe intervening for him because Rafa told them too. It is also 2 in the morning and I don't have anything better to do, but I really don't want to think what part Alvaro is playing in all this because it most probably involves sexual favours.

[of_doom]

This was a wholly traumatizing comment -- I think mostly because David Villa, despite his exuberant touching of teammates and doubtful fashion sense, still remains fervently asexual in my mind. Or I'm just a fandom prude. Sigh.

I do think all the attention from the Liverpool lads is hilarious though.

[mocasines]

I know and that's why I find the thought of Alvaro and his sexual favours a bit disturbing and that's also why I said I'd shoot myself in the foot if David Villa fic ever becomes popular, because he can't be slashy with those eyebrows. But like I said, 2 in the morning.

OH GOOD, LET'S MAKE ANOTHER NEWSLETTER!! Alvaro is a bit asexual to me, too, although I love that he's apparently Masche's bff. T_T

[mocasines]

The whole footballing world is becoming more asexual every day to me, for some reason, but really, he is?

[of_doom]

Well it's from lfc's big interview with Masche where they ask him who his friends are and he's like, I like spending time with Alvaro because we're both quiet people. Something like that, anyway.

[tasheila]

if xabi is touching him, this is a good sign! unless he wants david to go to juve, too? :/

[mocasines]

no, juve's shopping list is basically our best midfield in the world song and david isn't part of it, so i don't think that's a part of the plan.

[tasheila]

this plan of theirs will never happen, there is no way masche is ever leaving us! ;)

perhaps they want liverpool players before they even get to liverpool, lol.

[mocasines]

and there's no way they're taking stevie away from chelsea.

but then they'd have to make up their own songs!
