Should Sergio Agüero Leave Atlético?

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

Expectations were high, but this season wasn’t Kun Aguero’s best. He has scored 16 goals, three less than last year, and also received criticism for having bad games and for diving (see: the Valencia match). Regardless, he still showed moments of magic (PSV, Barcelona, Marseille, etc) but he’s still where he started two years ago: [...]

Athletic 1, Atlético 4: Feels Even Better, Man

By: Al | Comments 10 Comments

In Marca’s words: Everything is easier when you have Diego Forlan in your life.
So Atlético pretty much killed Athletic Bilbao and pissed on their Copa del Rey wounds, but more importantly, they are almost forgiven for all the embarrassing losses and slips this season by the supporters.
Who has the heart to jeer and criticize these [...]

Feels Good Man

By: Al | Comments 26 Comments

What a crazy game. We could have done a little better but who cares… as long as we won.
For the first time since the beginning of January, we are in a Champions League place. I can’t be happier, knowing that Atlético had a hell of an inconsistent season, and now we’re in 4th place dammit. [...]

It’s A Damn Final

By: Al | Comments 21 Comments

I’m so excited for tomorrow that I can’t contain it. SO EXCITED!!!! The last Champions League spot is all that we have left to fight for, and the word “final” is being thrown all over the place in Atlético and Valencia circles. There is no more Depor, or Villarreal, it’s just us.
<– Also, we don’t [...]

All Hail Forlán….. and Watch The F*ck Out, Valencia

By: Al | Comments 20 Comments

It’s official: Atlético Madrid are kings of the comeback. They don’t play any better in any other circumstance than being down goals. Playing with 10 men and being down 0-2 didn’t bring us down, in fact, it actually set everything up. We’re Atlético Madrid and we’re not going down at home without a fight.
Who was [...]

Hala Atleti, Aupa Real?

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Phew… I’m finally done with school so now I can concentrate much more on, what else, Atlético Madrid Offside! This summer I’ll spend my final teenage months enjoying what I love… the suburban life, Pro Evolution Soccer, fried chicken, and of course, baking lots and lots of cookies (no homo). Enough about that… on with [...]

So Long, Maniche

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

It’s official, Nuno Maniche has been released by Atlético Madrid. He recently fell out of favor by coach Abel Resino and after not showing up to a game (you’re required to go even if you’re not on the roster), he was banned from club grounds, was fined, and has now been told to pack his [...]

Real Betis Supporters Are Interesting… (and thanks Barca!)

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

Instead of chanting and looking angry, the Real Betis supporters instead watched the game quietly and ate peanuts. Everyone. The commentator said something like “it must be peanut day, because everyone is eating”. I guess it’s really a sign of nervousness? Or maybe it really was peanut day.
While Betis played a painfully unlucky game, Atlético [...]
