"If we didn't suffer, we wouldn't be ourselves." For @vittleslondon I wrote about Atleti's departure from the Vicente Calderón, through the medium of gallinejas and entresijos (fried lambs intestines), a very special and uniquely madrileño dish vittles.substack.com/p/gallinejas-a…

@sidlowe He's amazing. Obviously euro 2024 gutted me but of anyone who could have got the winner, I'm happy it was him

Mikel Oyarzabal. One day he’ll get the recognition he deserves (outside of Donosti, I mean).

@futboleslaleche Thanks very much!

Delighted to see ⁦@KebAbbas⁩ featured in The Guardian with a typically insightful Spanish food meets culture piece. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@Atleti @muhammadbutt how do you feel about Alemany from his time with you, by the way?

Mateu Alemany, nuevo director de Fútbol Profesional Masculino. Carlos Bucero le incorpora al área deportiva como máximo responsable del primer equipo y del Atlético Madrileño. ℹ️ loom.ly/vBm7CkA

@DVSANightmare @muhammadbutt There are options that are not either breaking the wage structure for Zizzo or keeping onana/altay. Eg, lammens

@KebAbbas @muhammadbutt Sometimes tho, you have to think what’s more expensive Getting donnarumma in and you strengthen you chances massively of getting Europe or playing Onana and Bayindir and then throwing a young keeper into that mix who might cave under the pressure so no Europe

the fact that United didn’t throw everything they had at Donnarumma the second he was put on the market by PSG is beyond me.

@LaLigaMichael @kevvwill Nice! Where in Spain are you?

Moving to 🇪🇸 full-time has come with countless benefits, but the biggest has been overall health. Coming from the US, the diet & walkability have been game changers. Fundamental changes to overall wellness even after a year. @kevvwill I’m curious to know how this resonates…?

@sajeraj Or just referring to him as a cousin without any working out

@muhammadbutt If only that mount was there today

@KebAbbas hate “like a new signing” but Mount was borderline world-class and United have never had access to that player. if they can get him going again???

MASON MOUNT FROM 40 YARDS!!!!

@muhammadbutt I'm glad you've been able to enjoy Valverde conceding 4 goals in a semi final second leg for once

.@icevolcanoes you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time in three days time

@BrendyBoyle Eibar have quite a thing for goalies scoring, I remember Dimitrovic taking a penalty against Atleti in the 20-21 season

Last week, Real Oviedo turned 1 point into 3 thanks to a spectacular 93rd min Malaga OG. Yesterday, they turned 3 points into 1 after the Eibar goalkeeper scored in the 95th min.

@thesefootytimes Özil and his chip/bounce thing

Twitter, can you help us out? We’re trying to think of footballers that have a ‘signature move’. • Cruyff and the Cruyff turn • Ronaldinho and the Elastico • Quaresma and the Trivela • Laudrup/Iniesta and the Croqueta That sort of thing. Who else should make the list?

Unexpected doppelganger found today. Tomas Roncero or Egyptian singer Farid Al Atrash

@loloutlaw La regla 14 ya tiene una sanción definida de tocar el balón después de que entra en juego (tiro libre indirecto para el otro equipo, así que aplicar el 13 es incorrecto) - pero como decís en el tuit siguiente, solo entra en juego cuando "it clearly moves"

Es que es el Dioni en el VAR por donde lo mires.

When the tie was announced: it's fine, this game won't be able to hurt me more than other past games The game:

@muhammadbutt @tinscognito__ First thing it reminded me of was the 2022 cl final tbh

@tinscognito__ Barcelona did basically the same thing in Lisbon, tho they were down to 10 men for 69 minutes lol.

Struggling to recall a more lopsided 0-1 win? 27 shots to 2 (i don’t recall the other shot)

@muhammadbutt Really quite some timing for us to have this conversation 😬

@KebAbbas “here let this little shit run you around the pitch for an hour and oh hey now you’re good and tired BOOOOOMMMM here comes motherfucking Thor”

there are ALWAYS occasions where you need a proper striker. Arsenal would be well in the title race if they had a reliable goalscorer up-top. Liverpool don’t need one because Salah is having a historic season. without him they’d be nowhere and would need a striker’s goals.

@tsf_podcast Add a couple fake glasses of wine and we can pretend we've travelled back in time to a Revista De La Show set on Sky Sports.

Can't get enough of CD Numancia's sponsors. Water? Obvs. Coke? Sure. Huge pile of torreznos (delicious fried pork belly snacks)? OF COURSE.
