    Athletic Club

    Why not? Why can't a company say that they want only local employees who understand their customers and company ethos? There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Yorkshire cricket club employed the same policy for years, they would only field Yorkshiremen or the sons of Yorkshiremen and they...

    How did Max do in the Seattle game?

    Athletic Club

    I suspect that there is something of the green eyed monster about Beast's hatred of Athletic given how real madrid has lost all semblance of localness and become a harlem globetrotters type organisation. Athletic's policy is a fine and noble tradition, and if that makes me racist, well then...

    Athletic Club

    Same here, they're certainly my 2nd team in Spain and that feeling was only strengthened by the comaraderie we culés experienced at the Copa final when fans of both sides were singing together before the game and shared a drink together afterwards. GORA ATHLETIC! GORA EUSKADI! Did you miss the...

    Athletic Club

    That's not a surprise given how shoddy the finances of most la liga clubs are. They bring most players through the cantera and whilst they overspend a bit on Basques from Osasuna and Sociedad etc. they've tended to recoup that by selling players such as Ezquerro, Zubizarreta et al. They also...

    Athletic Club

    I've started this thread to respond to a point raised in the talkshow during Beast's guest appearance. He wrongly states that Athletic is racist in its policy of only local players. It's a common misconception that only those who are racially Basque are allowed to represent Athletic when that it...

    That was "Rangers are in the CL group stage, you still have three qualifying matches to go" ;)

    Biggest/Most intense derby in football.

    Hmm, you have a point, even in England we have the East Anglian derby, the Tyne-Wear derby and the south coast derby. Northampton v Peter**ough is also considered a derby. WE HATE BORO, OH WE HATE BORO.

    Biggest/Most intense derby in football.

    I guess the question is regarding the biggest traditional grudge match, if you want a more accurate term than "derby".

    Juan Manuel Mata

    Doubtful. SPORT today reported that Mata's father has a verbal agreement with València for Mata to be able to leave if a bid of 18-20m € comes in. The article states that Juan Mata Sr will put up the money himself through his management company because València won't deal with Barça after the...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    First option doesn't usually mean that you can bid less, generally it means that if you match another side's bid you have preference.

    Biggest/Most intense derby in football.

    El Clasico always used to be known as "el derbi", though of course geographically it's not a derby under the traditional definition.

    Yes, I meant The Championship!

    Rangers FC thread

    Rangers are a shocking side, they'd be midtable in England's championship. For the record I can't stand them or their fans and the sooner they're knocked out of Europe the better.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    Before Wardo or Beast leaps on me I'll admit that "shite" is a tad strong, Marcelo looks like a passable left winger but as a left back he's no great shakes. I'd rather have Abidal or Maxwell.

    Biggest/Most intense derby in football.

    That's only because Ireland has no significant football of its own and sees Celtic as a pseudo-national team. The population of the ROI and NI combined is less than Catalunya.
