The first chance at Liga revenge this season is always something to look forward to. When we were on a high after the 4-0 smashing of Málaga in the opening matchday, Valladolid just HAD to play a good match on matchday 2 and shoot us down from the stars, with a 2-1 victory making us [...]

Finally, a reference to Inter in this blog that doesn’t have to do with Moratti thirsting for Aguero’s Argentine blood.
As Inter are looking to offload some players and Mourinho even admitted to having too many players, the media reports that Luis Jimenez is being offered to Atlético for a loan move lasting until the [...]

If you want to see Sergio Agüero yell at kids from a van with a megaphone and smack one of them for having a goofy haircut, you’ve come to the right place.
If you haven’t seen it already, here’s a recent Nike commercial featuring our beloved Kun, with Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola also making an appearance.

To all you Liga supporters: how do you feel about your team’s result this weekend? Happy? Disgusted? Well, us Atlético folk have to thank a few of your teams for stumbling and keeping that Champions League spot (or spots) nice and close.
Of course I didn’t mean that, but it seems that the misfortune of other [...]

It’s time to start “la segunda vuelta” and hopefully we start it as strong as we did the beginning of the season. Considering that the other teams above us don’t have tricky fixtures, there’s no option other than winning at Málaga tomorrow. It’s a “do or die” and the team must prevent itself from spiraling [...]

Atlético isn’t interested in buying anyone this month but they’re already freshening themselves up for the summer transfer window. They’re already making a few headlines with interest in a few players and some snubs.

It must stink to be Javier Aguirre right now. When your team is under-performing and some of the angriest fans in Spain are chanting for your exit (and other bad things), it’s kind of hard to not feel pressure. He may always look angry, but manager Javier Aguirre feels happy and is ready to move [...]

That’s how the Spanish commentator described the way that Atlético played against Almeria: with ugly, ugly football. And it’s true, the team is completely missing spark and can’t connect well. When you have Simao, Forlan, Sinama, and Kun f-ing Aguero on your team (the “Fantastic 4″ if you replace Sinama with Maxi) taking on ten [...]

There’s one match left of the “half season” and Atlético fans are already pissed. After such a good streak at the end of 2008, losing every match in 2009 is something that wasn’t expected. Atletico has been smashed and battered by Barcelona (twice this month) and is trying to discover itself after four consecutive schoolings. [...]
Category: PreviewWhat’s Wrong With Atlético? Here’s What The Supporter Groups Say
By: Al | 2 Comments
When you have a talented team that underperforms and loses more easy points than babies are lost at Planned Parenthood, you have a problem. For the Atlético supporters, those non-Nazi and non-extremist ones, it’s unacceptable. The blame can be put on Aguirre, or it can be put on the players, or whatever you want to [...]
