Vergini's goal has been in all our sport news casts too

Was it Argentina's home kit? Because it's not nearly the same shade of blue.

Small air show over the Calderón to commemorate the 75 anniversary of the Spanish Air Force. Atlético merged with the AF's team after the Spanish Civil War and was called "Atlético Aviación" until the late 40s.

I was a bit of a cunt, too. I always used to say something like "football ain't for girls" after a crunching tackle.

Stupid footballer hair, too: http://www.colchonero.com/media/galeria/4/6/5/4/8/n_atletico_de_madrid_jose_maria_gimenez-6708456.png

Giménez starting for Atlético against Espanyol. This is the CB that starts asking non-sequitur questions to strikers in order to throw them off their game like "do you own a car?" "Do you know why the Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela flags have the same color?"

We'll lose next weekend. We have faced some poor attacking sides so far; the only decent one (PSG) put 3 past us with relative ease.

Aye. Now throw Suárez in there

Thanks for the reverse jinx man Had to come Neymar should be subbed btw, bound to get a second yellow soon. You're on fire

Thanks for the reverse jinx man

Tbh it's every time Xavi plays that you get nowhere. Rakitic and Busquets are really needed for this team to function. Pedro and Dani are a waste of space as well. Can't say I disagree. We're short in depth in the middle of the pitch, even though Rakitic was brilliant signing. We should have also sold Pedro and not Alexis.

Man, we started the season well but we're getting nowhere these past weeks. We're so dull upfront against any well organized side. I hope Suárez can fix this.

If you mean our game, yeah it is.

61 after boni and with 5 to play.

No, it isn't.

Bravo; Alves, Mathieu, Piqué, Alba; Mascherano, Sergi Roberto, Xavi; Pedro, Neymar Jr, Messi Busquets and Rakitic rested; they have been both quite instrumental so far, but we need them both fresh for the next couple games. Fancy seeing Roberto given a full game.

He got an assist!

Can I cheer on Ayozé now?

Obertan starting every game until kingdom come now.

Feel conflicted now, I want to cheer Ayozé on but you don't want to win, do you?

I can imagine the reaction here if we had got Marc Albrighton instead of Cabella in the summer What happened to him? I know he's had a lot of injury trouble, but he looked quite a prospect 3-4 years ago.

I'm happy I subbed him off for Krul at the last minute!

Just noticed this result, what the f***? And here I am, watching Palace and Chelsea boring me to death.

Colback could have been easily delaeted from the game there.
