Athletic 1-Atlético 0: I’ll take that

Before yesterday, it had been over a month since Athletic won their last game. They started off strong, winning the first three matches of the season for the first time in a long time, the last of those being a 3-2 victory against Villareal (yes, it has been that long).
The game was played on what [...]

Rayo Vallecano 2-Athletic Club Bilbao 0: Lightning Strikes Twice in the Copa del Rey

By: Paul | Comments 3 Comments

Has poor form gotten to the heads of Athletic’s players??? I expected that, after a recent rut in the league, this would be the game that Los Leones would be able to pull through and build some pre-Halloween confidence. This should have been the game that the team went into, ready to prove themselves, and [...]

The first news to report is the result of Athletic’s last game: a 2-1 loss to Sporting Gijon. Once again, I missed this game (I spent [...]

So, I sold my soul and created a Twitter account for this blog. On there, I’ll be posting links to my blog posts as they’re written, links to other Athletic news (I will try to post as much of it as I can in English, as I know how difficult it can be for English-speaking [...]

An Open Letter to Opposition Fans (esp. Other Offside Writers)

By: Paul | Comments 15 Comments

Dear fans of other teams and especially Offside writers for Athletic’s opponents,

So, I realize I’m a bit late posting on the last matches that were played, but here’s a post on them.
As I’m sure (or, at least I’m strongly hoping) everybody is aware, Athletic played game two of the Europa League group stage away at Werder Bremen last Thursday. I was able to “watch” the game [...]
