Nak dijadikan crita, game MU vs Atletic Bilbao tak dapat aku nak tengok. Bukan apa, tenet umah aku ada problem, so sangkut skali la dengan cenel astro umah aku tu. Lagipun, wat pertama kalinya aku memang konfiden MU tak mampu nak turn over defisit gol. Senang kata, aku predict MU kalah dan secara automatiknya, aku jadi malas nak tengok.

Athletic Bilbao scouting report
Athletic Bilbao Tactics
There is no club quite like Athletic Club de Bilbao, and those who support it always speak of a special feeling in doing so. They wouldn’t be wrong either. Although in recent years Bilbao have lacked the success of Real Madrid and Barcelona, their status as one of the grandest clubs in Spanish football is permanent.
This is after all, not just the third most successful club in Spanish football history, but also once that has used only Basque players since 1912. Some class that as racism, and although the lines have been skewed in recent years, Athletic deem it as the single most important part of their clubs identity.

Top Ten: Premier League Loan Deals
10. Robbie Keane (Inter Milan to Leeds)
Keane signed for Inter for a record £13million in 2000 but was left out in the cold following the sacking of Marcello Lippi. After just half a season in Italy, Leeds swooped for the striker to boost their stuttering domestic campaign. The team was performing well in the Champions League but as Keane was ineligible to play in Europe, his focus was on improving their league position. The deal worked out well for both parties, as the Irishman gained a permanent move with nine goals in 18 league games and Leeds jumped up to fourth, finishing just two points behind runners-up Arsenal.

16 Conclusions On Spurs 1 Man United 3
* Exactly how did that happen? There could hardly have been any more one-sided games in the Premier League this season, and yet the team who were dominant for the majority of the match lost 3-1. Tottenham were the better side as far as the statistics and the naked eye were concerned, but still contrived to lose. Remarkable, illogical - it's not just that football is cruel, it's that it has so very many ways to be cruel.
