I would disagree a bit, I think British athletes used to use social media a lot *more* to meme and have fun. They used to have actual personalities on Twitter - Rooney's old tweets are a classic, for example. But things have changed and now they are hyper professional (and hyper boring) on SM...

Eh, Madrid didn't want to get rid of him no, they were willing to offer a new contract but they just weren't willing to offer him the kind of contract that he wanted. He thought he deserved to be paid more (I agree with him on that) and he got that at United. This isn't confirmed but there were...

Other people are getting the statistics out and they are more encouraging recently but speaking as someone who followed him at Madrid from the beginning I can say he had a couple of very injury-prone years in his early 20s with his knee. He had an insane game against Barcelona when he was 19...

Well, he didn't sit on a bench while Spain won any trophies. They won between 2008 and 2012, he didn't even have the chance to sit on the bench back then and he wasn't the second best keeper in the world. 2010 was all Valdes vs Casillas. I do agree with you though. The only tournament he sat...
