Europa league

I thought it would be closer than it was. Atletico seemed to want it more.


Championship playoff

I favour West Ham over Blackpool for the promotion.


Russian Cup

Ruben Kazan beat Dinamo Moscow 1-0 in a mediocre match earlier.

I expected more from Bilbao, given their superb performances to outclass Man United, but Madrid were sublime. How much for Falcao now?

[piggynose]

yes, i totally agree duncer, it was men v boys. Bilbao huffed+puffed, but never looked like scoring, maybe they had grounds for a penalty(handball) didnt see the replay, maybe that would changed the shape of the game. You have to hand it a.madrid, they always seemed in control, and looked far more dangerous coming forward.

[piggynose]

yes a.madrid seemed to be always in control, maybe bilbao had grounds for a pen, cant comment, as didnt see replay. I just couldnt see bilbao scoring. a.madrid seemed so well marshalled in defence, or were bilbao just impotent?
