Rainy Day Victory Over Athletic 2-1

Back on top of the table, y’all!

I’ll be taking over match recaps while mygypsyspirit moves and gets herself settled. I can’t hope to hold a candle to her skills in this regard, so it will be quick and dirty. I don’t think I’ve done a match recap since 2011 so excuse my rustiness.

Ready For Athletic Bilbao

Sorry for my absence lately. I managed to get sick again. 😦 How does it always happen that when I’m about to get a couple of days off fr0m work I get some sort of chest or sinus infection (or both, in this case)?! Ugh. Anyhow, I’ve been sleeping a lot. But tomorrow’s a match, so I thought it was time to update.
