VectisSaint Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 So who should we support? Athletic Bilbao, the team that was allegedly supplied with Southampton replica kit purchased in Southampton by Juan Elorduy in 1909 or Atletico Madrid, the team that was also allegedly supplied with the other half of the Southampton replica kit purchased in Southampton by the same fella. Think I will go with Bilbao. Well, it makes a change from fretting about Saturday. ....

Edit: this response was timed perfect after tdd's post!
jawillwill Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 Athletico Madrid wear blue, HTH. Not at home they don't. HTH.
JRM Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 also the final is in Bucharest, venue of our last european outing. Athletico Bilbao all the way, top support for a spanish side, acknoweldge their kit came from us, and good old port city.
channonball Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 Bilbao must have been the original ones who bought the red and white kit. Madrid were a spin of club set up by Basques.
Colinjb Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 (edited) Not at home they don't. HTH. Oh yes they f**king do. Take a look at their shorts. HTH. Incidentally, wayyyy back in the day. So did we. Black shorts only came in during the 50/51 season... according to this: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm Edited 26 April, 2012 by Colinjb
supersonic Posted 26 April, 2012 Posted 26 April, 2012 Bilbao for me all the way. Proper football club, play football the right way, set up the right way. And they looked bloody impressive at St. Mary's in pre season
red&white56 Posted 27 April, 2012 Posted 27 April, 2012 who gives a shyt...? Some of us do, and as I know a Bilbao fan very well I'll support them. Even if I didn't their football has been excellent this season and they would get my backing from the way they play.
Norm Posted 27 April, 2012 Posted 27 April, 2012 What a fantastic game last night! Athletic Bilbao were just stunning to watch, the speed of the passing, the skill was just mouthwatering! I'm cheering A B on to win.

I'm cheering A B on to win. I thought the same on the skill on show but also...the level of fitness to keep up the constant pressure on whoever had the ball from both teams was unreal at this stage of the season.
JRM Posted 27 April, 2012 Posted 27 April, 2012 i'm hoping to get over to Bilbao for a game while they are still playing at their old ground known as the "cathedral" atmosphere looks superb, and they had a lively away following on some of the european games i've seen, makes a change from usual dull fans you get at Spanish clubs
The9 Posted 27 April, 2012 Posted 27 April, 2012 Bilbao for me too, I've seen more of their matches than Champions League games on the box this season. Can't beat a bit of Bielsa for mad tactics.
Hatch Posted 27 April, 2012 Posted 27 April, 2012 Bilbao, because Madrid can't even spell Athletico properly.
