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!

*EP take note ;-)

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

I'll stick my neck out here and say they'll win it.

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

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
