Help Wanted

By: Al | Comments 1 Comment

No, I am not quitting. However, the next few weeks will be a bit busy (exams and such) and I don’t want my posts to tank simply because I’m concentrated on other stuff. So I thought, if any of you readers want a crack at blogging for a few weeks helping me out with posts [...]

Atlético Gets Fined… 150 Euros

By: Al | Comments 3 Comments

No, I didn’t forget to put a “thousand” there. Atletico really just got fined 150 euros for the object that was thrown at Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini. The bearers of the fine, the Comité de Competición, claim that the impact of the object was so minimal that it can’t even be proven that something [...]

Atlético 6 – Marbella 0: Taking It Out On the Chumps

By: Al | Comments 3 Comments

Nice to see Atlético play against a team with a worse defense than ours. The game looked like one that was being played for the sake of taking out the anger from the derby loss of last weekend. The goals seemed easy and the team oozed of confidence, mostly due to the fact that the [...]

An Analysis Of How Much We Suck

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

The headline is as blunt as I can get about this post. All I need to show you is one statistic.
7 points from 10 matches played.
Catastrophic? Indeed. The team is doing so bad, that the inconsistent and unpredictable Atletico of last year is dearly missed. You could have at least expected some wins from last [...]

Atlético vs. Real Mandril: el Derbi Returns

By: Al | Comments 10 Comments

I know that it has been about 10 years since Atletico win against Real Madrid, but who cares. It’s the damn Derbi Madrileño. Be excited.
It’s one of those bottom vs. top fixtures (we’re in 17th, they’re in 2nd) but we’re still expecting the upset, despite a ten year hex in the way. Derbies are always [...]

Atlético 2 – Chelsea 2: Aguero Is Baaack!

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

…and who the hell knew that he could score free kicks?
We’re dumped out of the Champions League, but at the same time, have plenty to look forward to, and a performance to applaud. The team that played today was one that was absent all season and played with all their might. Chelsea was Chelsea, and [...]

Atlético vs Chelsea: Scary Teams Scaring Teams

By: Al | Comments 7 Comments

We aint afraid man, I swear.
The mighty Chelsea is in town and despite the 4-0 thrashing that they gave us two weeks ago, our confidence is through the roof, according to Quique. What is there to be afraid of, to be honest? The fact is, they are group leaders and 2nd in the Premier [...]
