ATHLETIC BILBAO

Only one word to describe their performance tonight. Wow! Apparently, they have historical links to the British steel and shipbuilding in the 1800’s hence Athletic and not Athletico. You heard it here! SBL

Been to Bilbao, Manchester with sunshine, in other words a dump!! United should feel right at home next week when they are “dumped” out of this “Mickey Mouse” Cup.

Excuse me for my ignorance WHS as I am new to the forum, but who do you support? (apart from your obvious commitment to the albion)

WHS is a Spurs fan .

It is true I support Spurs but in all honesty I find top professional football boring, just one bunch of money grubbers against another bunch of money grubbers. It makes me laugh when I hear the “English Premier League” is the best in the world, most of the players are anything but English which is why our national team is so poor. We could win the European Cup every year no matter who was in it (Even Villa won it!) not so long ago, now if your side isn’t full of foreigners you have no chance apparently which seems strange to me. Athletic Bilbao are mainly Basque players, in fact they may be all Basque players and they seem to be doing okay!
