Ed1 is their genuine issues with skins at Madrid and do you think he could become available later in the season if these persist or will Madrid back him over the players?
{Ed001's Note - yes there is, no idea what they will do sorry.}

I think it's a typo. Sounds like it's meant to read "Alonso".

MoT, apparently in Alonsos attempts to toughen up the Madrid Primas he has set them up in 2 groups who are meant to alternate playing practice matches in skins or bibs.
But the bib man has gone on strike, so they are all in skins.
To differentiate between the 2 groups one set of skins have a 0 on their backs (only temporary tattoos, he’s not a sadist) and the other group have an X.
Apparently the players don’t like this as the older players are subconscious of their burgeoning moobs.
Hence the genuine problems with skins, as the OP mentioned.
Glad I could help ?.

Reminded me a bit of of the joke many years ago about the insect cup final and the little earwig who had an 0 on his back and who came on as a sub and scored the winner at the end of extra time and all the fans started singing ‘earwig 0, earwig 0, earwig 0…’
I shall leave the building ?.

Haha, thanks for the replies, I really thought it meant something else and I was being daft…. it has been long time since I played skins v shirts, I think we should make our players train in skins until they start winning again ? might help with the intensity.
