Yep- let's talk about Atletico.


In only one of the last six seasons have they made a net loss on players sales. They've turned a profit in each of the last three seasons with a net total profit (over those 3 seasons) of ?56m.


If they draw anyone other than RM in the semis of the Champions League, they have the opportunity of beating their closest, much more illustrious and much bigger spending local rivals in the final and also have the opportunity of winning the La Liga title on the last day of the season against Barca in the Camp Nou. Not bad on a budget!


Clubs will be knocking down the door and offering very great riches for Diego Simeone to manage them next season. How delicious would the irony be if he ended up managing Man Utd?

That happened to me last night, only I was the recipient. Received a Get in! text from a West Ham* supporting friend just as Bayern scored...quickly followed by Bollox!

I think most neutrals have enjoyed watching them this season. They play in the mould of Simeone...MUFC board take note

I'm not sure he'll be looking towards England as his holy grail PD.

I agree, I think he's far more at ease in Spain

      Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

      I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
