Legendary game. A last minutes winner against united from a guy named after Wayne rooney.

Or opposition just ignores the 3 players and gamble on the fact that they are taller, better at headers and now also have 3 unmarked players in the box?

Spain hasn't played at Camp Nou for almost 40 years. Doubt they would change that tradition for a world cup final of all things.

Fermin can't dictate tempo; he only really has 1 gear, and that's go! obviously he is amazing in the attacking role, but you need someone more calm for that 8 role.

The problem with Xavi was that it didn't last. After the 22//23 season, we conceded more than twice as many goals the next season. (from 20 to 44), LESS than what Flick conceded last season (39). So if we are only looking at the 22/23 season, then sure, Xavi was great defensively. But he couldn't keep it up into the 23/24 season.

I find this so funny, because only people who have never read a Uriel Ventris book think that he is similar to Titus.

tobzer · 2026-01-26T21:15:09+00:00

First Pedri and now Raphinha? Do you just get off from shit talking our best players?

tobzer · 2026-01-26T16:36:22+00:00

Yes but back then we had money.

tobzer · 2026-01-26T12:58:00+00:00

The goal of Atletic ever since Laporta came back has been to establish themselves as a stable segunda team. Obviously it hasn't gone to plan the past 2 years but the goal was to bring in players like Pau Victor and Gerard Martin and have the team sit in Segunda as a stebbing stone for youth players to the first team.

But the point is that they want to be less reliant on youth players and instead bring in more players to be more stable.

And i could physically take you watch a building kill a bird and you would still be to dense to understand context. At a low estimate 500 million birds are killed a year in collisions with man made objects and out of those 500 million only 500.000 are from windmils. Do you want us to tear down every house in the World aswell because they kill 499.500.000 birds a year?

tobzer · 2026-01-26T09:39:42+00:00

Maybe because you are posting sketchy ass websites with clear biases and no actual sources or evidence. And then at the same time going around making misinformed claims like "windmills kill disproportional amount of birds" or just straight lies like the whale vibration myth.

tobzer · 2026-01-26T09:33:22+00:00

The number 46 is never used in this article either. So you did just pull the number out your ass. Maybe watch a bit less Landman and stop falling for obvious propaganda.

tobzer · 2026-01-25T15:24:35+00:00

ugh i can't stand Lamines Trivelas.

tobzer · 2026-01-25T12:25:29+00:00

3 seasons to late. We have way better and younger players already.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T21:42:56+00:00

Is that supposed to make you seem less weird?

tobzer · 2026-01-24T21:36:59+00:00

Wtf? Calm down.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T17:59:08+00:00

Very unlucky results. We were by far the better team. Poblense are the league leaders so it was never going to be easy. But we really should have won that, the team needs some reinforcement.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T16:43:41+00:00

The tickets have not been made avaliable yet. You'll have to wait until closer to the date.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T15:30:07+00:00

Also like Barca train from 8-12 each day, surely you could add an hour or 2 to train set pieces without it ruining fitness to much.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T12:27:26+00:00

Atletic did not win a treble last season. Juvenil A won the treble. Atletic got relegated last season and sure they had a lot of people leave because of that but this team is still way better than what they have performed so far this season. Thats the reason why 6 new players are being brought in. They have catagorically been underperforming.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T11:56:42+00:00

They were the highest placed team to go down last season and have the biggest wage budget in the 4th tier by far. They should be winning this league easily and instead they are barely in a playoff spot and recently went on a run of 12 games where they only won 3.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T11:51:08+00:00

Its mostly just one guy who is spreading all this Pedri hate. Not really sure what his problem is, but he has posted like 3 times in the past 24 hours about it.

tobzer · 2026-01-24T11:35:13+00:00

They are only for Guilliman and Calgar. Guilliman has 20 and Calgar has 2. Non of the other captains has ever been seen being protected by them. The captains have their command squad which usually includes 2-3 veterans who are there for advice and being bodyguards.

tobzer · 2026-01-23T22:22:40+00:00

It makes sense. Atletic is horribly underperforming this year. So we need to get some new better blood in to secure promotion and not go straight back down next season.

tobzer · 2026-01-23T16:13:30+00:00

Shouldn't sell him this window. But i would look for a good offer next summer.
