10 The One when Quique bid farewell

Very special episode for us. We had Toni president of the UK official Peña Britannia and André from the famous German Peña Atlética Centuria Germana. Great chat with two real rojiblancos about a very special match the last home one for our Quique Sanchez Flores who received a warm farewell from the stands with a standing applause and chants supporting Quique during the whole match. Great company makes for great conversations easy and that proved true with André (@husky_38 on Twitter) and Toni (@tonijuno on Twitter) Please don't miss their sites:

10B ATM-HER Press Area

We attended the post match press conferences of Djukic and Quique Sanchez Flores. Sad conference for the relegated coach of Hercules and emotional final home press conference for Quique.

We also had the chance to talk to early scorer Domínguez and Juanfran, back to the team after the passing away of his father two weeks ago.

9 The One with Sid

In-depth chat with Spanish football expert Sid Lowe. Sid lives in Madrid and writes a weekly column for guardian.co.uk. He also writes regularly for the Guardian, World Soccer, FourFourTwo, and the Telegraph. He works as a commentator and panelist for Spanish, Asian and US television and has acted as translator for David Beckham, Michael Owen, and Thomas Gravesen.

Gary had the chance and pleasure of chatting with Sid about football in general, Spanish football in particular with an upclose look at our dear Atlético. They dealt with the new big two in La Liga, the Clásico aftermath, racist chants, television deals, Premier vs Liga debate and much more... an hour of entertainment and a great chance to learn from a true insider.

8 The One with two

The episode when we talked about two matches and two bad results they were. Atletico Madrid 0 - Malaga 3 and Racing 2 - Atletico Madrid 1 nightmare post match analysis. A pair of games to forget where all the good news of recent weeks went down the drain as did Forlan and Quique's relationship (maybe for good) We talk about the root causes of the situation and give our opinion about most recent news related to the future of key players, coaching staff and more. Your number one source of Atleti news. Sit back and enjoy!

7 Kun is the One

Deportivo Coruña 0 - Atletico Madrid 1 Post match analysis. Excellent result and once again an excellent performance of Kun in his undisputed role of real leader of the team.

We go through the main news of the week like Forlan being sidelined again, the court order that fined club owner's family with €100M fine, Perea's record and a look ahead at our next match vs. Málaga.

(Gary thought we should have changed the name of this episode to "The One that couldn't get recorded" ;) because of massive technical difficulties but we finally managed to complete the recording. Hope you enjoy it)

The episode starts with the analysis of the match versus Levante. In depth look at a new stone of this rock hard Atletico that's still solid in home games and has taken another step towards ensuring European football next season.

Atletico has played a friendly today versus morrocan team Raja Casablanca at an all new Tangiers stadium as an opening match. 1-3 easy win and a great chance to see our youth talents in action All 3 goals came as a hat trick scored by Forlan.

We spoke to Emilio Abejón from Señales de Humo (Smoke Signals) to get to know better what they do and what their objective is. A support trust as he so excellently explains. And an influential one that is definitely starting to make a difference among Atletico supporters.

We really missed not having Gary on the show this time. He's away on a well deserved spring break trip.

We dealt with the Español draw that terminated our last hopes for reaching Villarreal, what that means in terms of the immediate needs of securing our spot for Europa League. We talk about players being linked to Atletico such as Piatti or Oswaldo.

We analyze our next opponent Levante that has gone from dodging relegation to becoming a new threat for Atletico's struggle to play European football next season. Luis García one on the managers being connected to Atletico's bench for the next season will also be a topic dealt with.

Before we wrap up the episode we deal with Forlan and De Gea's changing future according to contradictory news being published recently and Atletico B's 4 win streak that has saved them from relegation.

There is a prematch protest once again this time organized by Atleticos por el Cambio. We talk about this protest group and their links to Señales de Humo.

We'll have a full panel next week to analyze the news around Atletico as well as the outcome of the match versus Levante and the prematch prtoest

Topic packed episode. We talk about the latest match that Atleti won over Real Sociedad 3-0 with an ever improving Mario Suarez, brilliant Reyes, good performance by Filipe and solid captainship of Kun. Quique might be on his way out of the club and that comes up during the press conference as well.

We speak about the Gaudeamus Atleti tribute that fan association Señales de Humo held to honor Luis Aragonés and his long successful career as a player and manager.

We deal with the prematch protest and the Green and Gold movement (ignored or mistreated by Spanish sports press)

Finally we end with the hottest topics in the press. The signing rumors around Arda Turan and the breaking news of that same night of football agent Jorge Mendes striking a deal to transfer De Gea to ManU for €20M according to Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

Today we have the pleasure of talking to former Atletico de Madrid player Velkjo Paunovic and review with him his career, memories as a rojiblanco, opinion about the club and insight from a pro about the game. Velkjo is pursuing a career as a coach now and is assistant coach of the Cadete B youth team for Atletico de Madrid.

002 The Cheerful One

Today we have the great honor of having Tim Stannard on the show. Tim a.k.a. @LaLigaLoca on Twitter is a confessed Getafe supporter, he writes for the prestigious football site FourFourTwo and contributes to Football365. Wonderful in depth look at Atleti's recent past, the woeful present and the dubious future. With that humour and wit that is Tim's genuine hallmark. We've promised in exchange to drink him silly next time we see him at our regular prematch bar.

We also delve into hot topics such as the coach for the next season, players set to leave or to arrive and a short analysis on our upcoming game versus Atlético Osasuna.
