The other games today - 2013/14


Recommended Posts

They had a great little side in the 1990s, they were dubbed as "the clockwork cheese" (that region is known for their manchego cheese) for their total football style.

Quite fancy going to watch Hearts sometime. Always have done, think it's their ludicrously steep stands. Same reason I want to go to Osasuna sometime. :milner:

 

Saw them about 5 or 6 years ago against Aberdeen, was good fun and a better atmosphere than I was expecting.

Osasuna is one of the most atmospheric pitches in Spain - particularly when playing regional rivals or a big gun like us or Real Madrid. You can cut the pressure with a knife. It's a pity they got relegated while no-fans Getafe stays in La Liga.

It's not that many years ago that Albacete was in La Liga is it?

 

 

Almost 20 years ago. They even played in the UEFA cup once.

 

Eibar, a small but very historic Basque team has been promoted to La Liga. Depor need 1 point in the next two games.

 

Had to check, they played in La Liga in both 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 according to Wiki? I have this feeling I've watched them play, but if it's 20 years ago then there's no way.

 

Aye, forgot about their brief spells in the mid-2000s. Their heyday in La Liga was in the 1990s, though.

 

Messi's first ever goal, man!

Seen as though its only a friendly, why don't Nigeria play Scotland in Scotland instead of at Fulham?

 

Isn't Hampden Park closed for a bit? Sure they played the cup final at Parkhead.

For the commonwealth games I presume. Still, there must be plenty of other stadiums

 

This is true. I assume the Nigerians thought a neutral venue in London was a better bet and they're probably right tbh.

Because Nigeria are the home team and I presume there is a bigger Nigerian community in London than anywhere in Scotland.

 

They have played a few games at Fulham.
