The blog hates to say this, but we've got to get Part 3 started off on a bad foot. Sorry.
If last season was anything to go by, stay-at-home manager Juanma Lillo will be guiding his team on a hit-or-miss survival campaign. Javi Guerra will be fueling the team, and though they have so many attackers, most didnt even score last season.
There will be a tear or two to shed for Almería this year.
TG prediction: 14th
Atlhetic Bilbao
Just the name makes the blog want to don it jersey and head onto the pitch with them. But the Spaniards hate us.
Sad confession: The Goleador was extremely harsh to Bilbao last season, and if Mr. Caparrós is out there, sorry. But, honestly, the best goal the team scored last season was against Real Madrid. Just dribbling leisurely down the field, not one of the £20 million defenders closed Yeste down, and he just shot from the end of the 18 yard box, and before Iker knew it, it was in. He was left with that priceless "that bald-spotted bozo just scored on ME!?!?" look. The Goleador will never forget that.
Holding the team together is the admirable trio of Ustaritz, Fernando Amorbieta, and Andoni Iraiola, also known as the Fearsome Threesome.
And their frontmen. The blog's mouth is watering in anticipation to see Fernando Llorente and young gun Iker Munian in post-World Cup action. It's going to be a good season for both TG and At. Bilbao.
TG prediction: 5th
Espanyol
It's always a pleasant ride driving to Catalonia, especially when you have supporters from both rival clubs Espanyol and Barça breathing down your neck.
But you have to admit, despite the blog saying that even the dumbest cretin who knows absoulutey nothing about football could say "oh ya, Barcelona's the club that have that shorty guy Messi," and know that Barcelona has won almost all the meetings with Espanyol, there is still a lot of passion on the backs of Espanyol.
You must admit, they did lose Dani Jarque, and that couldve killed their spirits for years to come, but the kept it up, the blog knows not how, with a player with the last name of De La Peñis. A better season to be expected from the 11th place finishers this time around.
TG prediction: 9th
Levante
Honestly, the blog had predicted years ago that Levante would go bankrupt. Haven't they already?? Apparently not. Levante is a gross reminder of what happens when a club spends money on players that are very expensive and give the team inflated wages. But here they come, doggedly managing to stay in La Primera.
But not for long.
TG prediction: 20th
Last and final Part 4 will be published tomorrow...
