Guest Craig-NUFC Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sid Lowe saying Bilbao's squad was put together for around €30m. Pretty mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Missed the two Manchester games tonight. Quick summary anyone? Fergie was stopped halfway through a sentence in the post match interview because a Steven Seagal film was coming on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sid Lowe saying Bilbao's squad was put together for around €30m. Pretty mental. It's never going to be high though, due to the cantera policy. Ander Iturraspe impressed me tonight, seems to have replaced Martinez doing the old Martinez role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Phil Ball gives a really good background on Athletic and the rest of the Spanish clubs in his book "morbo". I'd massively recommend it if you're of that persuasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 To be frank, I didn't like that book much. The Barça part at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Reading the Sun's match report of the game tonight and it seems they are having a cheeky dig at Channel 5. This was no smash and grab from the Basque side, either. They dominated much of the game. Their slick passing football unstitched United time and time again.

SirLes9 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 http://ar.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/generic/81/42/36/lawsofthegame_2011_12e.pdf If a player loses his footwear accidentally and immediately plays the ball and/or scores a goal, there is no infringement and the goal is awarded because he lost his footwear by accident. Doesn't say owt about if it's not an accident. Was gonna say didn't Gazza score a goal a few years back (v Arsenal??) with no boot on? Love watching Bilbao and their values and the way they play football makes it a great story. Hope they can win the competition and I'm sure they will give Barca a good game in the Copa Del Rey final.

bulivye Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 loved watching that bilbao side dismantle man U! the 'boot off' incident was ruled as "dangerous play", no? is that a fair ruling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Napoli were absolutely sensational going forward there. Hitting top form ahead of next week. Poor at the back though, 3 easier headers for the Cagliari striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Unusual for a Mark Hughes team to kick everything in sight but the ball. That thick cunt who got sent off last time doesn't seem to have learned his lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
