Atlético vs. Real Mandril: el Derbi Returns
By: Al |
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 [...]

Chelsea vs. Atlético: A Miracle, Please?
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 [...]

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 [...]

The exclamation mark is necessary because it means that we are playing our first important match of the season!
La Liga maybe commence a little less than two weeks from now, but I believe that the season starts tomorrow, and in the worst possible fashion: in a critical game that could decide whether or not we’ll [...]
It’s A Damn Final

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 [...]

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 [...]

Admit it, you forgot that Atlético was still in the Champions League. I kinda did too… after a rollercoaster of a season, I forgot that we’re still within the top 16 of Europe.
If you didn’t watch the first leg (I know you didn’t you jerks, don’t lie), Porto pretty much played us like fools and [...]

I’m not excited to see Atlético face Barcelona any more, to be quite honest. This is the final showdown against FC Barcelona this season, unless a Champions League miracle happens and we meet in the next round, which is nightmare-worthy. To make ourselves feel better, we were finally proved that Barcelona isn’t invincible after all, [...]
Category: PreviewAtlético vs Porto: The Preview, Calling “EuroAtleti” To The Pitch
By: Al | 3 Comments
I’m excited and worried about tomorrow. I can’t lie.
As I type this preview all while chewing on a Fruit Roll Up and cranking my “Now! That’s What I Call Music” collection through my headphones, I’m bothered by the fact that I really don’t know how tomorrow is going to turn out. It’s been a really [...]
Category: PreviewResino’s First Match In Charge, Aww We So Excited!
By: Al | No Comments
It’s very exciting when a new manager takes over because you’re just dying to see how different the team will play under him. It’s no different with Resino, who is making his little changes to Atlético’s game and seems to know what he’s doing.
Resino acknowledged that he saw that the team was a bit tired [...]
