A lot of disgraceful comments once more ahead of the Madrid derby from so called ‘fan’ accounts. It’s sickening that the majority of the fan base pays the price for these groups that do not deserve a platform, and yet it continues without proper punishment. Do better.

Frente Atlético is a neo Nazi ultra group. The Madrid derby is suspended because they are throwing objects. They are responsible for racist chanting and fascist ideology. They are not representative of Atlético's fanbase but the club tolerating them unfairly tarnishes everyone.

Atlético with an abysmal performance, extending their poor run of form away from home, particularly in Europe. It’s rare that you see them crumble like they did in that game even in the most dire circumstances. The drop off from the best players to the rest is genuinely stunning.

Álvaro Fernández Carreras is going to be worth a fair bit in the years to come. Can see a lot of top sides looking to upgrade at LB in the not so distant future. Man United better have a good sell-on, or better yet, a good buy back clause

United now have 7 U23 players of starting quality, and 6 more aged 24-26. These numbers exclude Dan Gore (20), Toby Collyer (20), Antony (24) and Tyrell Malacia (25). Talent ID and squad development have been terrific, it’s just about making the best use of the talent at hand.

United sign Nagelsmann —> Klopp takes the Germany job —> Germany win the 2026 World Cup?

Back talking United - hoped to bring something new but the club didn’t have the same idea. Instead, here’s 20 mins of us discussing potential options going forward. Likes, RTs and follows appreciated, and we’d also love your feedback so let us know in the comments!

Rodrigo Hernández Cascante: What a player 🤩 Congratulations from the entire Atleti family for being proclaimed winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or, Rodri! 👏👏👏 It is an honour for Atlético de Madrid, where you develop and grow as a footballer and a person, to see everything you

Amidst all the chaos with Real Madrid, Atleti’s own issues have gone under the radar over the past week. No doubt these will resurface the next time they play, but there are some important questions that need answering. My take below 👇🏼 intothecalderon.com/2024/10/29/242…

Loads of ideas in this one, and just to spice things up we also spoke about Antony at wing-back (because why not?). Give it a listen and feel free to throw out your craziest squad role prediction under Amorim!

It’s so important for players to make the right moves at the right time. Imagine if Haaland had moved to United and gone through a similar run earlier — he’d be deemed a “flop” or “overhyped”, affecting confidence and development. Environments seriously influence perceptions.

The Emirates playing Eminem’s Lose Yourself before the shootout, and proceeding to lose, is quite sensational foreshadowing.

Back discussing United again — already so much to talk about. Amorim has been covered enough on here so we focused our attention on squad profiles, using Rashford’s example, and could the squad grow into Amorim’s system over the next few games. Have a pre-game listen below!

Wrote this at the start of the season about Amad. Has been coming for a while now and it’s so well deserved. What a player!

If you caught this, you’d hear talk of Zirkzee coming on to receive and lay the ball off for the 10s and WBs. Game changing sub, and great call from sheninator

Back again this week, give it a listen and see if you can spot anything we mentioned in today’s game!

Trying to get back to watching match footage + clips but looks like Wyscout’s now too pricey for anything with a decent monthly limit. Anyone finding better deals / What else do you use nowadays? Any good alternatives? Reached out to SportsBase but haven’t heard back either
