I had to start this thread early because I'm going to Singapore tomorrow for a little R&R. I know some of you are beyond depressed just thinking of not having me around for days. Its ok, I'll be back in time for this match. Be strong.
Difficult game ahead. A trip to the San Mames regardless of the Lions current league position is always a tricky affair. The level of quality in their ranks has diminished over the passed few seasons, however, the Basques love nothing more than beating Real Madrid so it's going to be tough. If we bring our A game then we should have no trouble whatsoever but we'll need to weather the storm in the opening spells of the match. They always go right for the jugular from the outset in this one so heres to hoping we can nick an early goal like last year. If we win it's like killing 2 birds with one stone. Firstly we would have sustained our title push and secodnly we will be pushing Athletic closer to the door of La Segunda. How does it go? "Al segunda ah eh"!
Let's hope we aren't cuaght napping after the great victory over Valencia, the club has a great rivalry with the Basques over the years so I don't expect we will take them likely. Atheltic will concede there defense is average, but we need to stay focused at the back as well.
What a beautiful thread nuff_said. You are one of the great things to come out of the Phillipines my friend
I just realized that i will be in Bilbao on the 29th Wonder how i could get a ticket for RM seats there..
A game against Bilbao means I get to bust out my favorite chant: NO SON LEONES.... SON M@RICONES.. lalalallalalalalLA!"
Expecting a big confident raising win here, which would be fitting because we usually struggle this side of town 1-4 Madrid, ruthless clinical counterattacking. I smell a van Gol hattrick!
No, no, last thread Racing had an X across it. He's gone to Singapore to have fun and left us with this mystery.
We did beat Racing. I don't give two sh!tes. EDIT: I never noticed that the other ones were tick marks.

The first person who writes "This will be an EASY win for us" will be added to my ignore list and bear the wrath of Youngstars for at least the next week *that's a joke about Youngstars, btw, I can't find a proper emoticon*
lolzz.. i know but the matches from now on are like this that if we winone then the next one is more important and we must win the next one bigger than ever... but if we lose it then we are doomed .. i know it is a bit funny but it is how it is... lolzzz
