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

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
