A skunk season card holder I know is a tad peeved off with the extra spend on the champions league games. He's not a fan of them... Hopefully the players get worn out by December
We could really do with them getting beat tonight. If they win, they can afford to rest players in the next couple of CL games (Leverkusen away days before coming here)
So here’s a thing, twitter the other day I had a “conversation” with one of them. The apparent only reason for them not filling the ground, was in protest to a “vile and disinterested owner and regime”. Whereas we just didn’t turn u!! Trued to point out that, until KLD, Our ownerships were far worse than Ashley ever was, but I might as well have been talking to my newborn great nephew!!

I've not read the whole thing (I don't like projectile vomiting) but this could be the worst piece of "journalism" ever put out. A pure, sycophantic, love letter piece of propaganda from a supposed journalist. Sorry, but I expect better from our national broadcaster than this.
Even more ironic when history has the story of Bilbao being originally introduced to footy over a century ago by mariners from Sunderland!
I know. It's such a well known story that I didn't think it was worth mentioning. It's just a breathtakingly bad article.
But they have to bring us into their stories every time. They can't just forget about us for a minute. They've won the "who does Atletico love the most" cup now. https://x.com/AdamP1242/status/1985822546932170930
The Quayside is rammed with Bilbao fans. The river clearing boat is tooting them as they go past (I know some South Shields based lads work on it) the locals aren’t happy :
Got to keep Shearer happy, poor didums, makes up for him winning sod all in his playing career with them.
