Zara, or bust

By: Armando | Comments 2 Comments

More like bust I would say. The hopes of another European campaign to go along with last year’s dream final are fading fast, and if Sevilla had any consistency we would be completely out of it, but hope does spring eternal so I’ll maintain it even though logically I really shouldn’t.
There is some sign of [...]

Derby Decision

By: Armando | Comments No Comments

I was on a camping trip all weekend so I obviously missed the Catalan derby. Of course, my service provider gave me regular updates and I saw the score sheet but until tonight I didn’t get a chance to see the match until much later.
From our side, we started a somewhat full side with Garcia [...]

Derby Days

By: Armando | Comments 2 Comments

I’m back everybody. I took a few days off of my schedule, enjoying the vacation but Monday I’m back to work just in time to miss the next round of Champions League games. I guess I can’t complain. I have 3 weeks off and I’ve been enjoying it a bit too much. So, what do [...]

Freefall continues

By: Armando | Comments 1 Comment

Dark clouds in Barcelona? Sure, I think the whole city has a dark cloud over Park Guell. At least our neighbors down the street are in the semis of the Champions League, right? No parties in the Olympic village tonight. Espanyol have gone another 90 minutes without a goal making it 439 minutes now [...]

Quick Hits

By: Armando | Comments 2 Comments

Topic of the Week: Valverde has benched Riera for the last few matches and it seems that our Albert has taken that on himself as proof that the club blame him for the slide into seventh. In time honored, modern footballer fashion though, instead of working harder in training, he decided that it would [...]

Cracks and fissures

By: Armando | Comments 3 Comments

Espanyol are in crisis. Held goalless in the last 3 matches, and they really haven’t scored since the 11th minute of the March 16th match at home against Mallorca. That’s 349 minutes shooting blanks for what was once one of the top attacks in the first division. They’ve secured only 9 out [...]

Espanyol, drilling for gold?

By: Armando | Comments 3 Comments

Are Espanyol drilling for gold right now? Not likely as he’s due at the Montjuic for the summer, but striker Dario Cvitanich, the Argentinian-Croatian who plays for Banfield, “El Taladro (or The Drill), is on the Espanyol radar. Some reports have Paco Herrera already having signed him for some help up front, I guess it [...]

Intro the Misery

By: Armando | Comments 9 Comments

Hey gang, the name’s Mando and I’m glad to help out to maximize the Primera Liga coverage here on the offside. A quick bio: I’ve been following the game since I was a kid, became an RCD Espanyol fan when I visited some family I have in Catalunya. I toured the Nou Camp, I saw [...]
