Valencia 2 – Atlético 2: Plenty To Be Proud Of

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

Who cares if it’s a draw… I’m extremely proud of the team for their solid performance today at the Mestalla. It was actually enjoyable to see the team play again, and despite the lack of goals it felt good to see the team in good shape. It’s still a shame that we haven’t won a [...]

Atlético 2 – Almeria 2: Yeah we Stink

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

A draw against Almeria.
W. T. F.
I’ll summarize it in three words: our defense blows. It’s shite. Bollocks. We have no proper right back (my 5 year old nephew could have schooled Perea) and it was an absolute disaster seeing the Almeria players, who I’m totally not discrediting, outdo and run around Juanito and Pablo. A [...]

Barça 5 – Atlético 2: Who Saw That Coming

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Told ya guys not to get too confident.
The match was lost before it even began. Barça had another great day (grr) and we had an Atlético day. If you recall the 6-1 drubbing from a year ago, the game was not as bad this time around because Atlético showed a little more bite (especially in [...]

Barcelona vs. Atlético: The Anti-Madridista Classic

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

The respect is there, and both teams are aware of how dangerous each other team is. They believe that we’re going to be dangerous at the Camp Nou because we want to redeem ourselves after how bad our season has started off, and we are aware that we are up against the best team in [...]

Atlético 0 – APOEL 0… At Least It’s A Point

By: Al | Comments 5 Comments

Oh who am I kidding. We are royally f*cked.
Three games into the season without winning a game. Instead of building on our success at the end of last season, the team is running around like headless chickens and getting walked on by Cypriot underdogs. What I saw during most of the game was Atletico being [...]

Atlético 1 – Racing 1, Ohh Gosh

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Not a pretty result, but more importantly, what the hell are we going to do next weekend? Are we really ready to face Barca at the Camp Nou yet?
Hells to the no. We couldn’t defeat a ten man Racing Santander so obviously we need a miracle for next weekend. We have a Champions League [...]

Forlán Renews Until 2013!

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

If two years of badass goals and long pretty blonde hair hasn’t been enough, we’re in for four entire seasons of more Diego Forlán awesomeness.
Negotiations were long, and despite minor interest from Manchester City, it didn’t seem likely that Forlán would leave the club at the end of the season. He loves it here too [...]

Malaga 3 – Atlético 0. All You Get Is A Video, Jerks.

By: Al | Comments 5 Comments

A little late with the publishing of this post, but obviously I’m not thrilled with the result from Matchday 1. First and foremost, this game wasn’t even aired on Spanish television because of some broadcasting right problems, so I had to follow a gamecast and refresh an internet forum over and over to find out [...]

Official: Heitinga Leaves for Everton

By: Al | Comments 9 Comments

Well isn’t this just great.
Everton have purchased the defender for an initial fee of £6.2m and talks were stalled as Heitinga had to agree on personal terms. His salary was a little too much for Everton (£2.5m) but all is settled and Johnny is in Liverpool for his medical.
Heitinga isn’t amazing but he’s definitely our [...]
