Atletico Madrid ultras: top reds :D

Atletico's support's Manchester United style protest
In the same manner and with the same colours used at Old Trafford against the Glazers

Atletico Madrid supporters continue to show every week their discontent with the rojiblanca board. After numerous chants against Miguel Angel Gil Martin and Ernesto Cerezo and protest marches, now it has occured to them to protest in the same form as Manchester United against their owner, Malcolm Glazer.

As with the fans of the English club, a trend has started among the Atleti 'congregation' to go to the match in green and gold scarves, exactly the same as those of United. The followers of Manchester [yes!] have adopted the colours of the early years of the club to show support for the exit of the Glazer family. Their protest drew enormous attention throughout England and around the world. Now the Atletico fans are following their example.

Excellent stuff but yer translation is shite!

It's Enrique Cerezo, not Ernesto! :p

Dont know what they're going on about with it (the G&G campaign) having a worldwide effect though.

That said, I do have a lot of time for Atleti. Possibly because of Forlan

It got noticed. Didn't have the intended effect, admittedly.

Most definitely. He's been read the riot act, but hopefully it's got through that this is his last big chance, maybe in life as well as in football.

Some talent he has.

Reserves: United 3 Oldham 0

United strolled into the semi-finals of the Lancashire Senior Cup at the expense of Oldham Athletic.


Josh King extended his fine run of goalscoring form with a first-half brace, before Bebe rounded off the scoring just after the hour mark.

Davide Petrucci made his long-awaited return from injury as a substitute for the final half hour and caught the eye, while fellow sub Jack Barmby also helped enliven a second half which lulled for long periods.

'tis. I just hope these injuries haven't hampered his development too much, it's a crucial age where you want to be playing as much as possible.

Youth cup is on MUTV tonight (v Newcastle), I hope to be able to watch some of it.

Apparently we're in for Mario Götze of Dortmund. Handy little player, shame Dortmund have upped their asking price to 20mn GBP

Manchester United Official Web Site - Joyce delighted for Petrucci

Reserves manager Warren Joyce has paid tribute to Davide Petrucci, who made his long-awaited return from injury in last weekend’s Lancashire Senior Cup win over Oldham.

The Italian has endured horrendous misfortune with injury since arriving at United in 2008. A pelvic injury in early 2009 sidelined him for eight months, before a relapse kept him out of action between January 2010 and last weekend.

A half-hour cameo against the Latics provided the 19-year-old with a welcome return to competitive action, and his eye-catching display on the left of midfield served a timely reminder of his brimming potential.

“It’s great to see Petrucci playing again,” Joyce told ManUtd.com. “The kid’s worked so hard over the past few months to get back, and he’s now had a spell of five or six weeks where he’s trained every day with the lads.

“Once things got a bit relaxed against Oldham and we went 3-0 up, it was a good time to put him on. I nudged him and said ‘just go and have that Zidane role on the left’, and he just looked at me and smiled. But to be fair, he picked up clever positions and I felt a bit sorry for their full-back.

“He’d had Gabby (Obertan) running at him for an hour and then he was posed with a different problem; not actually having anyone up against him, somebody in clever positions so he didn’t know whether to go in or stay back.

“I’m pleased to see him playing again, and I was also really pleased with how he played. He’s so smooth on the ball and comfortable in possession, and I was really pleased with how he did. He’s worked so hard and he deserves it.”

Got to admit I haven't seen much of Petrucci. The bit about the Zidane role sounds promising though!

The youth team win was very impressive, should easily have been a lot more because we totally dominated them. Ryan Tunnicliffe is very impressive, great engine, also a good football brain. Morrison's goal was a corker, and Pogba is a f***ing beast. Had Will Keane played there'd no doubt been a sharper edge in the finishing - Lingard and Cole played well on the wing but have no composure in front of goal. Also big raps for Tom Thorpe at centre half, already an England youth international.
