Ollie 4,400 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We were the first team to win the Super Cup in Monaco, let's be the last. It was always a 2 legged match until 1998 when we beat Real Madrid. next year it's being held in Prague after Monaco have had it for 14 years.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Bilbao are without 3 of their best players tbf - Llorente, Martinez and Muniain.True but BIlbao were owned too by Atletico in the Europa League with those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 True but BIlbao were owned too by Atletico in the Europa League with those players.That is true lol, but today they look really clueless going forward and the 2 goals could have been easily prevented.

Always prone to concede goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Bit like being the last to win the FA cup at the old wembley & first to win it at the new Wembley :eyebrows:Yep was thinking the same, but at least we can say we played in the first and last on both occasions.Doing a whole load of research on the Super Cup in the last 2 hours, it's interesting.And guys, stop wanking over Falcao, he's playing against the same team who conceded 5 at home to Betis last week lol. We need to do our homework, mark him tightly and stop them getting crosses into the box. I'm sure if we stop him, we stop them. Most of the homework will be based on him anyway.

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 not sure, we can't worry about them. This is a one off game, we need to show who's boss and go all out to win. This isn't the type of game we need to defend in, we should express ourselves. We have the players to go for their throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 TBH, Luiz v Falcao scares me a bit. Never quite know what the geezer is gonna do.And do think if we are to win this game, we need to score first. Diego Simeone's side are generally tough to beat.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 And there is his hat-trick. Harsh penalty IMO. Was ball to hand rather than hand to ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 How can the commentator say that's a blatant penalty? Read the rules you twat. There is no way that was deliberate hand ball. Very, VERY harsh penalty indeed. This will be 5-0 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They've looked good but they are playing against a depleted Bilbao team lacking all confidence. They are looking extremely dangerous tho i must say. This could already be 5-0, could end up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
