Diplomat of the Week

Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o, who taunted Real fans with the rhyme "Madrid, cabrón, saluda al campeón" (Madrid, bastards, salute the champions).

Of course, he then ruined it by apologizing. (Unless his apology was something along the lines of "I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. What I meant to say was 'Your scum-sucking money-grubbing Galacticos couldn't shoot straight in a brothel, dribble if they were senile, or tackle Spanish for beginners.'")

What he forgot to mention, above all, was that Franco's favourites won NOTHING this season.

Or, for the sake of scansion,

"Your scum-sucking money-grubbing galacticos couldn't pass wind, shoot pool, dribble saliva, or tackle Spanish for Beginners."

Curiously enough, I'd swear he said the rhyme in Catalan: "Madrid, cabró, saluda el campió" (or, at least, a mix of Catalan and Spanish).
And yes, it's about time you mentioned that Real Madrid won NOTHING this season.
