There already has been, I went to the San Siro last year! And this summer I'm seeing a game at the Stadio Vincente Calderon, hopefully wearing my sunderland shirt!
Been to the Vicente Calderon Jersey - saw Atletico beat Tenerife about 15 years ago when Paulo Futre was in his pomp. Beware, as it gets bloody hot!
Pot kettle black here for a lot of the mags coming on giving us **** about the thread. When O'Shea got sent home because of an injury I was browseing the Geordies board and there is was "O'Shea Injured Ha ha ha". Most people having a pop at the lad giving it all Fergie only gets rid of duffas etc ect.... Now to be fair there was the odd one who said why the hell post this as the smile could be wiped off our faces if we get a couple of injuries. But not many who said the thread was disrespectful in any way. The thread disappeared when Ben Arfa got Injured.....well at least I could not find it so if it is there some Mag post the link to prove it..... I would not wish a bad injury on anyone dont care who they play for simple as that. These are young lads at the top of their games and their careers are at stake simple as that. So I hope Ben Arfa's injury is not a bad one he looks a cracking player and agree with me or not god knows we need some more like him up in the North East its bloody hard enough trying to get average players up here now.
I'd love to go to the Calderon, i think it's getting bulldozed, i've heard the atmosphere is insane, and a motorway runs under the stand! We're planning on going up to Bilbao v Malaga, i'm desperate to get to the San Mames before it's closed at the end of the year, with the Sunderland link and all.
Calderon will be gone in a couple of years as we move into a new 75000 seater stadium but I think the Calderon is being used for the 2015 champions league final and yeah the atmosphere is amazing
75,000! I guess you have to move to try and close the financial gap to the big 2, was surprised at Atletico last season i had you nailed on for 3rd, but it just never happened. Strange team, when good, absolutely superb, but then the next week pathetic. What happened with Siamo? Was a player i loved watching, then he was gone. Fall out, or had he gone into decline? Will Asenjo return in goal now De Gea's gone?
Agreed, you never know what Atletico will turn up but that was mostly due to our old manager who never played the same line up twice in a row. Simao was sold to Benfica for 2 million euros as he had 6months of contract left, even though he was willing to take a pay cut to stay an extra year or so. Then we didn't have a left winger for the remaining months and are in the market for one now. In goal it is between Asenjo but he is injured again, Joel and Courtois who we just got on loan for 2 years of Chelsea
