So I met this guy who is a super Argentinian coach and tied in with some Spanish team called Real something in the Spanish PL . He models his system of coaching on some bloody Real team. I asked him three times to repeat the fooking name . What with his bloody accent and the fact that I'd forgotten the remote volume control on my hearing aid at home I didn't catch it. Obviously it's not Madrid or Villa Real but I have to report about my meeting and I feel a right twerp that I don't know what the name is. I am hoping if I see he name I can sort of associate it or get near to it. All help will be appreciated. Anyone know how many bloody Reals there are in the Spanish first division. [Their community out reach is bloody impressive. Maybe we can add one for the deaf in the near future!!] . I fully appreciate the funny side of this.
