Yeah but Bilbao's defence have never been great under Bielsa anyway. Always prone to concede goals.

http://www.chelseamegastoreusa.com/departments-home-kit-chelsea-12-13-azpilicueta-home-soccer-jersey.html Looks like the stories were true. Azpilicueta will be getting the No.28 shirt.

True but BIlbao were owned too by Atletico in the Europa League with those players.

Deserved lead for Atletico really. They are defending well, working ever so hard and pressing Bilbao vigourously, not letting them get into their stride at all.

Falcao is just a goalscoring beast. Would so happily take him over Torres right now!

EDIT: Double post. Apologies.

Lovely goal. Really fear Luiz/Cahill may make a mistake like that against Falcao like the Bibao defender did there.

http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/137660/1/watch-atletico-madrid-vs-athletic-bilbao.html Match just started. Should be a good game.

No clue. Saw it being posted on Twitter.

Going by the same logic, shouldn't then we credit Cole for our evolution with his goal line clearance at San Paolo?

How selective...

Funny. No one even bother to support Malouda after he helped us to win 2 FA Cups and the Premier League 2-3 years ago...

Torres getting continuous support from the fans is probably because of his looks. On Hazard, if he were to go off form, people will then say he's just shit as Bosingwa, wearing that No.17 shirt...

3 games played and Carlo's PSG are still without a win after drawing all 3 of them. So much for people predicting them to walkover the French league...

If anyone is interested, Atletico Madrid face Athletic Bilbao tonight in La Liga at 9pm UK time. And regarding the lineup, would probably like to see RDM stick with the same starting XI for this game but doubt that is gonna happen.

Weird and unusal to see Wenger wearing specs all of a sudden(know he has wore it before) but guess we're not going to hear him say "I did not see it" anymore.

The lack of freshness in the Madrid squad is probably affecting them right now. Mourinho may have bought Modric now but he basically still has more or less the same squad for 2 seasons now. Even though there are great players in their team but they probably have become a bit predictable to the other teams.

Great! We still definitely need another striker, big name or not. Going with just 2 STs even for half a season at least is a major risk. One injury or either Torres/Sturridge goes off the boil and we're in trouble.

Can never understand comment like that. Why should we be choosing which games we were prefer to win? It's a different competition, different game altogether. Should always be looking to win games like this regardless of the opposition. A big chance to add win another trophy and winning will breed even more confidence into the team. Very unlikely. Will be back in mid September and best not to risk him too especially given his injury record.

True but same goes with the team as a whole as well.

He's more of a player that likes to get forward a lot. How is he gonna be suitable for our double pivot role when people are already complaining Lampard getting forward far too often when being played there?!

Just wondering, is Azpilicueta gonna have his full name spelled on the back of the kit??

Not if you go by the official rule of football...

Not the best start to the season for Jose and Madrid. 1 draw and 2 defeats.Already trailing Barca by 5 points. And Valencia dropping two points after going 2-0 up.
