Said it a million times but Alexander Isak staying at Real Sociedad is the best decision he could make. At this point of his career there really is no better place for him to be.

Might be the best pressconference performance from a coach I ever seen!

One of my favourite things in Spanish football this season is that @SDHuesca's captain Jorge Pulido change his captain armband for every of their 21 away matches in Segunda, and with it teach us about Spain.

IS BRUNO FINALLY BACK?

The Villarreal captain (he is still the captain right?) has been out injured for THREE YEARS (!), but has been training and is travelling to Granada with Villarreal and Calleja says they will then see if he is fit enough to enter the match squad! So for those of you who don't know who Bruno Soriano is, here's a bit of background story:

Bruno is 36 years old, he's spent his entire career at Villarreal and he hasn't played a match in over three years since the 21th May 2017. But before that he was REALLY good!
