You've never heard of athletic Bilbao ??

One of the biggest teams in Spain
Probably the equivalent of a spurs or everton in the premier league .

Only sign basque players or develop youth , which makes it an amazing fact that they are one of only 3 teams to never be relegated from Spain's top division along with Real Madrid and Barcelona !

Will be a good game :ayatollah:
Shame llorente and javi Martinez have gone though would have liked to see them play :ayatollah:

Of course I have!
It's advertised as CARDIFF CITY VS ATHLETIC CLUB on my ticket so just wondered what was going on?
Probably a Bilbao development squad?? Hope not.
