Who?

[eamonn]

The Marseille dude we're looking to reunite with Morgan Sanson The Brave.

[cdbearsfan]

No, I mean who are "Athletico Madrid"?

[LeeB]

No, I mean who are "Athletico Madrid"?

Oh god, not another sevco?

Christ, we're pulling up typos now?

I assumed you thought that's what they were called and was trying to help. Wouldn't have bothered if I'd known you were going to be so ungrateful.

Doesn't bear (no pun intended) thinking about.

Chris, you've been here long enough to know that's exactly what we do.

It's not Chris's fault that they can't spell "Athletic".

I know he didn't post for a while, but coming back wasn't a resurrection.

If I'm honest I always think of them as Athletico even though I know it's wrong.  I guess in the same way I think of Holland not The Netherlands and French not Francais.  As Risso says, it's not our fault these foriners don't speak proper eng-er-lish

edit - yes I know Athletico is a bastardisation of the two word and is wrong both ways.  What can I say, I'm a philistine.

It's Franco's fault, actually. He made them change from "Athletic" as he didn't like foreign sounding names. He did the same with Bilbao but they changed it back once he croaked.

[nigel]

Who?

Super John McGinn
I just don’t think you understand…

[Clark W Griswold]

Also, I am almost certain that Suarez is a bellend.

Yes, but if we signed him and he scored a few important late goals from the bench and bit a Wolves or Burnley player or two he’d be transformed from a ‘bellend’ to a ‘loveable, cheeky little scamp’.

[murgsy]

Maxence Lacrois from Wolfsburg rumours today. Looks very tidy as a CB. But probably West Ham, Chelsea and Newcastle would want him too....
