A picture is worth a thousand words, no? New season, same crap. Strong challengers for Liga? Yeah
right. We didn't look threatening until the final 20 minutes. Prior to that, Osasuna were the more
ambitious team. They failed to score a penalty in the first half, however one, it must be said,
that should not have been [.

FINALLY. A very special game for both clubs and certain players on so many different levels.
*Torres plays against us. *Forlán returns to England to play against his ex-club's rival.
*Luis García & Sinama return to Anfield. *Reina plays against his father's club. *Benitez's
mother supported Real Madrid while his father supported Atlético.

It would have been nice to win by a large margin against a 2nd-B division club, but...a win is a

(Álex Quillo 84'), Raúl García, Luis García, Miguel(Banega 59'); Sinama &
Forlán (Keko 88') Our one goal was scored by Forlán, thanks to [.

Madness at El Madrigal Leo Franco; Seitaridis (Antonio López 46'), Heitinga,
Domínguez, Pernía; Assunção (Raúl García 60'), Maniche (Miguel 75'),
Banega, Maxi, Simão, & Forlán. There has been some interesting commentary about this game
on Atleti blogs written in Spanish. Here are a few snippets for non-Spanish speakers (my
translation): RESERVA INDIA wrote in an entry titled "Leo & Banega sentence [.

I'm going to keep this short & sweet...let's just win or, at the very least, draw. This current
losing streak has been unbearable- something out of this game would make us feel a little bit
better. AUPA ATLETI Thoughts on the game are much appreciated! I'll be out of work early today, so
I'll be watching it en [.

Firstly, some good good news: our home game against Liverpool will be played at El Vicente
Calderón. Unfortunately for Liverpool, Torres is out injured, but perhaps he'll make the
journey down with the Scousers. For us, I'm relieved that he won't be available nothing worse than
having Torres score against us!

Thanks for ruining our next two home games and Torres' return to El Vicente Calderón ,
UEFA! From what I've read, Liverpool & Atlético are working to have them overturn this
decision as it is too short notice. Like Torres, I hope that there can be a 'solution' to allow the
game.

One of the worst games I've seen in my life. Worst than any nightmare I had as a
child. And the worst part in all of this? Our injury list has grown by one more. Forlán
Simão Maniche Seitaridis Pablo Now Maxi will be out for 10 days. Plus, Agüero has been
playing non-stop since the Olympics and, despite his age, he is [.

In the words of my favourite football analyst on this side of the pond: This game is being billed
as Lionel Messi v Sergio Agüero which should not come as much of a surprise. While Messi led
Argentina to an FIFA Under-20 World Cup in the Netherlands in 2005, Aguero (he was also part of the

A forgettable performance, but a win nonetheless and that's all that matters, especially when
considering the sub-quality of the back-line (with the exception of Ujfa, of course). Our only goal
was scored by Sinama, thanks to long effort by Ujfa. The bad (besides the awful performance, I
mean)? Maniche & Simao are injured.

The other Madrid derbi! On a personal note, I love that there's a weekday fixture; I hate that I'm
at work at the moment! I hope to watch it via Internet while I'm here though... I can't seem
to find the official starting 11, but I'll post it up as soon as I'm certain what it is. In
the [...]
