I bet he is on alot of money at Bilbao already. They hardly spend money because there's so little for them to choose from, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's on top european wages already and he loves the club so I doubt he'll go actually. Same with Martinez

Both Arteta and Xabi Alonso are Basque, I think? They are amazing how they produce talent.

Yes they started out at Real Sociedad, who are Bilbao's neighbours and fiercest rivals.

[King Gizzard]

Well, Arteta started at Barca, but he's originally from Basque country yeah

[bbfan1991]

Oops I didn't know the Barcelona bit, apologies.

[King Gizzard]

Probably got mixed up cause he went to Sociedad for a bit to play with Xabi lol /wikipedia

Have no memory at all of seeing Arteta play for Rangers

[GiRTh]

Arteta was at the Barca academy but he's from San Sebastian.

-Just looked it up-

He was there the season we won the Domestic treble when Alex McLeish was the manager Ferguson and De Boer were amazing that season though

[King Gizzard]

Bilbao was co founded by british people as well, we introduced them to it

along the same lines as genoa

The Premier League has issued the following statement ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers:
"The Premier League position on the pre-match handshake convention remains consistent. In all normal circumstances it must be observed.

"However, after discussions with both Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers about the potential and specific legal context in relation to John Terry and Anton Ferdinand the decision has been taken to suspend the handshake convention for Sunday's match."

[King Gizzard]

Don't really get why they shake hands before a game, just do it at the end

much more dramatic then the Madrid and Bayern Penalties

[Locke.]

Some of the worst penalties of all time on display in that video

[Novo]

Not by me though

[MTVN]

Don't think I've ever seen worse keeping than on that second one

[Brother Leon]

Get a haircut



I still dunno why they made Evra have to shake hands with that rat.

[Novo]

I am growing it until it becomes as long as Sawyers from Lost and that is the only penalty i didn't get a hand to

[bbfan1991]

KA do you think United will sign Nathaniel Clyne from Crystal Palace? He is available on a free this Summer due to being out of contract and we do need a Full Back...
