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 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 [...]

Athletic Bilbao 1 – Atlético 0: Danggg

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

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 | Comments 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 [...]

I’m not going to write a review. What’s the point? It’s the same story over and over again….

Chelsea 4 – Atlético 0: A Dagger To The Heart Times Four

By: Al | Comments 7 Comments

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 [...]

Osasuna 3 – Atlético 0: Three Nil Of Suckitude

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

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 [...]

Atlético 2 – Real Zaragoza 1: A Weight Off The Shoulders

By: Al | Comments 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 [...]
