Atletico Madrid

[ijjysmith]

I'm glad someone posted this as Athletico have always been my Spamish team for exactly this reason. I always saw them as like Everton as they have a stupid 'other' team in their city who spend too much but never acheive what they should (although Real are obviously superior to the kopites in every way).

I would however say that the current Everton team is better than the current Athletico one who have been pretty dire all season. Maybe Heitinga realised this earlier this season and why he jumped ship. Perhaps Aguero should do the same!

Throw Rafael Off The Train.. starting Steve "15 minutes" Gerrard in an epic tragi-comedy - featuring Nando's left knee, Yossi "do they do Kosher" Benayoun, Dirk and Pepe.

A group of famous football stars have to share a train journey to Sunny Spain with 2,000, oops I mean 14, supporters hell-bent on a booze fuelled bender to Madrid. Things go from bad to worse when Ngog forgets his passport and is arrested as an illegal immigrant on reaching France. Watch the comedy turn to tragedy in Madrid as Rafael is forced to play Lucas and Babel in the midfield after Yossi gets food poisoning from a bacon buttie and Stevie Me gets involved in an argument with a Spanish DJ.

Ive said it before, when he isnt crying and moaning, Torres has few equals on the footy pitch, in other Spain news, havent heard ANYTHING at all about David Villa for ages, has he been injured or something?

Still at Valencia, still banging them in (42 games, 27 goals this season) albeit not at the mental rate that Messi and Higuain are. If only we had £40 million to spend!
