Which Athletic club? There's about a million of them 🤣

Bilbao?

 

[Beamrider]

Yeah, it's Bilbao. Really odd set-up. Not sure I'd want to watch both games to be honest, and imagine taking a kid who gets bored after half an hour? No son, we can't go home for 4 and half hours yet, get comfy and stop whining. The second game will finish with half-empty stands, like a City home game or something.

 

[Modo]

Wow, we play Preston every summer.
Only four pre-season games? Or maybe we're treating the CS as a friendly too.

I plan on taking my kids. £5 and no doubt I’ll only get through the first, first half.

I have it on good authority from this weird Spanish bloke I met in Manchester that the CS is a trophy, and it ranks alongside the Champions League. His mate from North London agreed. Like I say, weirdos.

Does one of them by chance have a head shaped like a lego piece?

Funny you should ask that. The other one wore skinny jeans.

Bilbao?

There's literally just 1.

There's literally just 1.

I don't even need to go to Google to get Oldham and Charlton for starters !

It also seems there are many others with Athletic in their names : 3 in Argentina, 2 in Brazil, 1 in Uruguay, 1 in Australia, 1 in Italy, 2 in Ireland, 3 in the USA, 2 in Canada ... enough I've had enough searching.

You were saying?

Only 1 club in history has ever been referred to as Athletic club.

It's like saying sporting club is branded to any club with sporting in it's name, but everyone knows it's Sporting Lisbon.....will always and only ever be Sporting Lisbon.

 

[tombrown]

Dont forget the famous Sporting Ennistymon

 

[Dreambeliever]

The CS is not a friendly. It’s the English equivalent of the Super Cup.

I want us to win and the new players get the taste of lifting even the smallest of trophies.

 

[MomoWASright]

It is a fucking friendly.

 

[Brizzle]

I still want to win it although it’s very telling it isn’t featured on our “champions wall” at Anfield

 

[MomoWASright]

We aren’t Arsenal or City.

We have to save space on Champions Wall for CWC if we ever play in that shite show.

 

[Modo]

Just realised that we're selling the only players in our squad that are still playing; Quansah, Morton and Harvey.

All doing great for the U21s will hopefully boost their value.

You've got to be happy we are selling 3 Englishmen !

You mean the one on the far right?

Don't forget Trent, two down, two to go. Next up, Cujo.

I suppose we can lump them together

Same competition no? Just more teams this time

 

[StevieM]

Feels like we’ll have another game between the Preston and Milan game.
