Most people with an interest in Spanish football know about Llorente but I've been banging the drum for Munain for a while now. Last night wasn't his best game but he showed just how good he can be. Fair play to the thousands of Athletic Club fans who made the trip over. They made it sound like a home game for the Basques. If I'm going to try and salvage something positive, it would be that despite a woefully spiritless performance United only lost by one goal.
Might have been on this forum that I used to have an avatar of Muniain, I remember seeing him in his first season as a 16 year old and thought he'd be big. They were talking about him being a striker then, but he's now on the left a lot. There's huge potential there, it would be nice to see him fulfill it at Bilbao.

I was gutted when Caparrós was shunted out because of politics not football and sceptical when Bielsa was chosen to succeed him, but things are looking very rosy at San Mamés. Plenty of young lads being given their chance, going well in Europe, fourth in the league and just a point away from a Champions League place. Big game this weekend at Osasuna but I fancy them to go there and get a result. Llevant have a hard game at Malaga which I can see being a draw so that would see Athletic move into fourth.

Slightly OT but if you ever play football manager buy Muniain. I always buy him in my games (if I'm a big team) and he gets into my first team straight away and usually bangs in 20+ goals in his first season.

Championship/Football Manager always has and always will give players with lots of media hype and promise great performance stats. Kennedy Bakircioglü or Kim Kallstrom anyone?

Don't forget the great Tonton Zola Moukoko. He was gonna be one of the best players ever by now.
Redknapp looking more and more like an England manager.....
Moyes tactically spot on, Redknapp twitching on the bench, unable to change a thing because he is, quite frankly, toss.
The myth is quickly disintegrating before our eyes.....Spurs won't make the top 4 at this rate - How will the media spin the whole 'Harry is a genius' bit then?
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....
