Zara, or bust
By: Mando |
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: Mando |
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: Mando |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 [...]

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: Mando |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: Mando |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 [...]
