    You guys ever been to Europe for a game?

    Best players you've seen live?

    I live in Madrid and Im an Atletico season ticket holder, but haven't seen as many good players as you have. Best players I've seen live are Messi, Agüero, Arda Turan and Pogba (I can't say Ronaldo)

    And RIP Real Madrid haha

    i remember the hype for that kid was huge back when he was very young, and I remember being surprised when he went to Atletico instead of one of the bigger clubs... but how can you say he was better in Madrid than he is at City? I don't watch either club, mind you, but his goal scoring record in England is far more impressive than it was in Spain. He's almost scored the same amount of goals in about half the games.

    as someone who admittedly couldn't care less about Atletico or City, what do you think he's missing now that he had in Spain?

    are you saying that he's just scoring the goals because his support is better, so he doesn't have to work as hard, or something?

    I think he used to do a lot of things he doesn't need to do anymore and that was the best part of his game. We had Forlán for scoring goals, Kun was more a helper and some kind of Messi.

    He has become a 9, that with the great teammates he has behind him now help him to score more goals. But I don't think he has the same impact on every game than he used to. It's just my opinion and Im not saying he's not great, but I expected him to be even greater.

    must admit De Gea is a year or so behind where I thought he would be in his development but he has plenty time....delighted he is committed to United.

    Confirmed that Del Bosque will stand down after the Euro's. Pep next? haha.....I read he is making noises about the United job again, he will be an old man by the time Giggsy retires ;-)

    I wouldn't get too worried about Cech going to Real, he is no better than Casillas

    Pep would be the perfect fit if they wanna keep the style, altought I am not sure that is what we need. But Pep is independentist, not sure he want to coach for the spanish national team haha

    Funny thing from De Gea is, when they 2 were Atleti prospects, Joel was expected to be a lot better than him. De Gea was sold to an english team, but he wanted to stay and the deal couldnt be finished.

    Del Bosque with Spain reminds me a lot of Wenger at Arsenal, terrific manager in his day but his day has gone. I was surprised he was retained after the World Cup. Seems to me that Spain have been well and truly sussed out and need to change their style of play accordingly. Doesn't seem to be a "plan B" with them. f Del Bosque did get the tin tack, who would be the next manager? Do Spain promote from within, like the U21s coach or something?

    All the stories in Manchester just now is that Mata will leave in January in a swap with Roma for Strootman or Juventus for Vidal. Huge mistake in my opinion, we are a far better side when Mata plays. I wouldn't mind Strootman, not keen on Vidal but neither at the expense of Mata

    De Gea has just agreed a 5 years £135,000 a week extension :-)

    Also talk of Cech going to Real in January too....makes sense that one, can see that happening

    The federation wants to keep the coach and the style, crazy. Our U21s coach is even worse, they lost this week and won't compete in 2016 olympics.

    De Gea is great, altough I expected him to be even greater at his age. Cech could come to Atletico, no Real, RM has enough goalie controversy for now haha

    What is it with Spain mate? Their movement up front is woeful, very easy to defend against, even Skrtel managed it!!! Is Del Bosque under pressure?

    Have to believe that De Gea will be in goal for the next game, he has been sensational for us. Last week against Everton was as good a goalkeeping display as I've ever seen. Incredible.

    Also baffles me how Mata cant get in that squad. There are a few who sit around me at Old Trafford willing to sell him in January, I don't get that. For me he is United's best "number 10" and should play there behind Rooney and Falcao. Van Persie needs to do more, much more in my opinion.

    We need some major changes, but Del Bosque doesn't like changing anything. Our style needs to be played fast and we don't. We have very good and young players, but he is afraid of sending Iniesta, Busquets, Piqué... to the bench. Big pressure is on Casillas. People want DB out but media, he is a former Real Madrid coach, got his back. He has become a terrible manager. Thank god he played De Gea today, Casillas is not good anymore. De Gea should have played in Brazil.

    Since you're the only Atletico fan I know, I decided to log back in for one post to congratulate you guys on an amazing season despite the result tonight. I remember when Celtic lost the final back in Seville (not to mention last year's final). I was absolutely gutted for weeks, so I know how you feel.

    Real Madrid are scum. Chin up. You'll be back.

    Thank you! What a tough lose, but after a couple of days the feeling changed. Now we feel happy and proud about what we did and how hard we fought.
