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 [...]

Diego Forlán Interview

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

I’m not a big fan of reprinting news, but this interview was one that I had to share with everyone. It was done with Marca, just in time for the derby clash on Saturday. El Cacha talks about everything from Champions League elimination, Real Madrid, Quique Flores’ methods, World Cup qualification, and more.
Don’t F around [...]

Good Riddance

By: Al | Comments 3 Comments

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 [...]

Video: Simao’s Brace, Forlan’s Stupid Penalty Winner

By: Al | Comments 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
