It hurts.
Once again, there is no purpose in a review. Pretty much, it was an unfortunate first result for Quique Sanchez and the team suffered once again from bad set piece defense, despite playing a good second half and hitting the crossbar on three separate occasions. It’s such a letdown considering that we’re hosting Chelsea [...]

Marbella 0 – Atlético 2: It’s Still Something
By: Al | 5 Comments
This stage of the Copa del Rey is usually boring and the favorable result is usually given to the Primera Division clubs that aren’t Real Madrid. However, this was Quique Flores’ debut match and another shot at an easy victory for a team that struggles to maintain leads against 9-men squads. To be fair to [...]

Adios Abel Resino, hello Quique Sanchez Flores.
Quique Sanchez Flores, best known for his stint at Valencia a few years ago, will be presented today as the new Atletico Madrid manager. The fact that he is Madridista is something that the director’s board didn’t originally like, but his desperation for work enthusiasm impressed the club and [...]

It was expected, but it still hurt. This was the absolute best example of why we don’t have the squad to compete with the best. Not only did they win, but they embarrassed us hardcore. Even if they had won 1-0 and still had played the way that they did, the loss would have been [...]

By: Al | 7 Comments
Miracles better happen because what’s “on paper” is really bugging the hell out of me now. If anybody has half of a football brain, they’ll know who Chelsea is and how much of a machine they are. On paper, they will not lose tomorrow because they haven’t lost a European match at home since losing [...]

Osasuna, the team that Abel Resino has never won against, has done it again.
Look, I’m not one to insult the very club that I support, but yesterday I saw some pathetic team in black and red get scored on three times by some average team from Pamplona. Our defenders could have been blindfolded and still [...]

By: Al | 2 Comments
I was originally going to do a lengthy post on our players that were called up to their national teams, but only three of them were called up (Aguero, Forlan, Simao) and two of them actually played. So that equals me writing a short video post about our three players battling for a ticket to [...]

By: Al | 2 Comments
Ohh baby, what a relief. After 8 freaking games (6 in the league, two in the Champions League) we were finally able to win our first game. It was convincing, but we were still a bit lucky considering that Zaragoza had two penalties and only one of them was scored, thanks to 18 year old [...]
