They have won the league a few times so I doubt this is their best season ever.

Well, we have won la liga before so lol... and in 1998 we finished 2nd to Barcelona in la liga. This season is been the best in quite a while though, copa del rey final, doing good in la liga fighting to get in champions league and doing well in europe.
Our starting team is 23yrs old avg.
And yes we have never been relegated.
edit: this is probably one of the best seasons we've had that I remember, considering that last time we won the league was 1984 and I don't remember it lol.
You happy with el Loco, I guess
Yeah I was a fan of getting him and making the team advance by playing better. Caparros did an awesome job getting the base of the team ready and Bielsa is making them explode.
How can you not be happy watching that style of football really.
He's also pretty good in youth development, so I would expect a good amount of great players for the future. And obviously making the ones already in the team even better with time, as you said the team is incredible young already.
I'm guessing he's very involved with the reserves/youth academies as well.
I like where this is going.
For those that like tactics..

Flamengo 1 - 0 Emelec final.
Goddamit what crap display. Even with one more player we keep giving the ball to Emelec.
Ronaldinho doesnt help at all, the booing was deserved. I dont want to play against Santos.

The guy is amazing. He studies every club/national team before accepting any offer. He was offered Inter and turned them down (FUCK YES), but he saw potential in Bilbao because of the great players and reserves/youth development.
Before accepting the Chile job he watched a lot of videos of all of the important chilean players, I don't really remember how much time he did that but it was mind-blowing, to know if he could make something out of them.
I watched the "goodbye" of Bielsa, the first one I believe, when he was leaving the Chilean NT and he said a lot of incredible things he did before and during his job there. A small part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkEPwubEbjc :'( "Here, I learned how to love (the) life"
Yeah I was impressed he gave us his word if Urrutia won the presidency and kept it, even though Inter probably offered him more money and we cannot compete in terms of signing players or budget.
I think he was attracted by a club that is different to the rest, so I hope he will say yes to renewing the contract, I think he is mostly happy in Bilbao, but who knows with him really.
You don't understand me man.
You must know who the Equalizer is?
And if not enjoy the brilliant intro music.
But you hate ManU so I like you, ah lak u ah lot.
Yes, actually If I'm not mistaken he left Chile because they changed the president of the chilean federation of football.
Their philosophy is to play ONLY with players from their region, so for instance they would not sign a catalan or someone from Andalucia. The player must be someone from the Basque country to be able to play with Athletic Bilbao. It's their philosophy and they've never descended.

So, I don't remember who told me to start watching, but I'm loving Blue Mountain State. It's hilarious.
I have it, it is awesome.
Oh and very proud of Bilbao tonight. Top preformance. But that 3rd goal, what was Raf at?
That's awesome. More teams should do that.
Contento is awesome, shut up! I've been waiting for this since the season started. We need Lahm as RB and we can use both Contento and Alaba as LB! Fuck Rafinha. I hope Contento (or Alaba) do amazing as LB so they can stay there

Fuck it, I'm a fan!
I adopted them at the start of the season when I knew Bielsa was taking over, made it my mission to watch as many games as I can (same with Enrique at Roma). I'm happy with my decision.
Start of next season I'll try and invest my time in a German team, but it looks hard not to jump on the Dortmund bandwagon. Schalke?
dont hurt me
Of course, bioware just assumes some stuff happened/other things didnt. At the start of 2 they asked you a few questions if you hadnt played 1 and your answers picked what happened. But not for every decision, some bioware just filled in.
Why are you not getting it on 360? it was weird seeing all my descisions layed out on the character select at the start of ME3.
Including my accidental spooning with Jack. Please forgive me Liara. :/

Sneaky, if you didn't sell FIFA 12 we could play as Bilbao together!
BAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEEERN
I hear Bayern Munich are a good choice.

Let's be honest, Dortmund is going to be so good for the next few years, and their average age is probably like 23. Last year it was 23.5.
Sure, that way we can make fun of you... even more
I feel like recently I've turned into some sort of joke figure
EDIT: Bayern seems too obvious a choice. I'll see if anything happens like Bielsa/Enrique, we'll go from there.
My 360 broke a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten it replaced yet.
So I'll be getting it on PS3 instead. I just wanted to make sure I'd still be able to see all endings.
I'll probably get ME3 for 360 when I get it fixed. And I'll get the Witcher 2 again.
Dortmund-GAF won't approve of this, but go for Schalke, Wilbury! Our boy Sveitadurgur needs all the help he can get!
It's a Bioware game, so no
Hey I don't hate United!

And they are huuuuuuuuuuuuge underachievers
EDIT: lol, Fur_Q has the third most posts in this thread at 198. Behind Salazar and Kyoufu.
How do you find that shit out?
I'll pick a Bundesliga team next season, attempt to follow them. It's been great doing it this season, I've become much more interested in the leagues as a whole. Some prick friend on Facebook the other week tried arguing with me about how Chelsea are gonna wipe the floor with Napoli. I attested otherwise.

I played a bit as Bilbao last year when 12 came out (thought I'd make them "my team") and got my ass kicked over and over and over.
They're just too slow for me. I prefer Sao Paolo, Sporting or Napoli.
So you Europeans should be getting ME3 right about now huh? Have fun with it. Fantastic game. And try Infiltrator.
There is one. It's just that Liverpool aren't near it.
/salt.
Sitting in uni library eating cashews and watching Wallander. Don't have the heart to go outside.
Go to the 1st page of the OT. Then highlight the the replies figure for the football OT.
It should give you a list of everyone who has posted in the thread.
They don't really have to do that, you know. It's their choice.
FOURTH MOTHERFUCKER! YEAH! THREE PEOPLE HERE HAVE EVEN LESS OF A LIFE THAN I DO!
Eat that cray shit.
And really? Fucking hell. That's what I thought they were going to do, I think Young even said something to one of them and they looked like they were talking.
