Athletic Bilbao - AC Milan; Friday, October 12, 2007

thanks for the tip.

Well, nothing is working for me now..ah well...what can I do. Please give us some updates, those of you actually seeing the game...

come on Pato!

Can anybody see anything? I wonder how our boys are doing...

Good shot by Brocci!!! Just wide of the diving keeper!

Pato gets a bad pass in our half....dribbles past the centre circle, then passes to the left (Serginho I think?) who wastes a cross to an open Gila....

How is Pato looking so far, chief??

Pato, with excellent footwork on the left, crosses for Gila, but too inaccurate, and the goalie collects

Pato passed the ball to the right, so it was Cafu with the bad cross, not Sergi

I guess i'll just have to hope Channel 4 do a report of the match and that it will contain some encouraging words for Gourcuff, Gilardino, Pato, Maldini & Serginho

Pato fouls a Bilbao player....and from the resulting free kick, to a wide player, Bilbao get a corner, and pleas to the ref for a penalty are waved away (shirt pulling)

Thanks A LOT for the "play-by-play", Warro
Keep it going...

From the replays, looks like Pato got a good shot off, saved well by the Bilbao keeper, while Kalac made a wonder save from a Bilbao freekick...please Sir Zlat, make the necessary corrections

No prob Brasileiro....Pato seems to be the "genuine article" from the bits and pieces I have seen from him in this game....he certainly isnt playing "his age" but more like a seasoned veteran.

If he continues like this in the second half, then there can be no denying that we have a "wonder" talent on our hands.

Zlat, u must be getting a better feed...any other pointers re Pato, and say, Gila and Gorky?
