Athletic Bilbao

[River Don]

Very impressive again tonight.

I like Bilbao, I like that they had a Yorkshire cricket style rule that you had to be Basque to play for them. They only dropped that relatively recently.

I also like the fact they use the English spelling Athletic instead of the Spanish Athletico. The Basque flag is a red, White and green union jack too.

Glad you amended that.  It was looking a little Rocky!

[River Don]

It isn't against my creed (Apollo) to admit a mistake.

[RobTheRover]

I never had you down as a Clubber (Lang)

[River Don]

You're Drago n (Ivan) this one out.

[RobTheRover]

And you are taking the Mickey (Goldmill)

[River Don]

I've Adrian-ough now.

[RobTheRover]

You are making me feel a little Paulie.

[River Don]

Only one thing for it then, you're going to have  to reach for the Tommy Gunn.

[RobTheRover]

Bah.  Cant think of any more.

Oh the joys of seeing Man Utd knocked out of Europe twice in the same season.. First by Basil Brush and now by Bilbo Baggins. Fancy getting stuffed home and away by one of those 'crap Spanish teams.' The Spanish league is crap aint it? There's only 2 teams in it who are any good aint there?  Now where have I heard that before?

[RoversAlias]

They actually still are a Basque-only side, that rule is still in effect it is just a little wider encompassing than it used to be.

...and they can only have the Christian name Eduardo

Thats why the crowd were singing \"Team full of Basque Teds - we're just a Team full of Basque Teds\"
