Sorry I’ve been away, but I’ve been busy with my primary site forzafutbol.com, redesigning it and I’ve had to scale back on my posting here, although I will tell you that I am never far away from RCD Espanyol. I may cover a broader spectrum of La Liga now as the Spanish correspondent for Forza [...]

Espanyol 1-1 Recreativo Huelva
By: Armando | No Comments
You have got to be kidding me. I have tired of writing negative reviews of the club’s performance, and after the flatter-to-deceive manner in which they’ve been playing, in two hard fought Copa del Rey battle against the enemy down the road and in close but no cigar matches against Valladolid and Recreativo Huelva. Through [...]
Espanyol in transition

If it seems that life at the Montjuic is about to get more interesting, then it isn’t just appearances. It is about to get very interesting at the Montjuic and it isn’t just about the latest announcement that club president Dani Sanchez-LLibre revealed that the club would be moving to the new stadium in March [...]
Two Weeks of Misery
By: Armando | No Comments
I’ve been incommunicado for a few weeks, the day job is pinching my time as such, but if you’d like I’d say that there wasn’t much to write about actually then you’d be wrong. It’s been a disappointing few weeks at the Montjuic, with a 3-4 away loss to lowly Numancia that we should have [...]
Espanyol v Mallorca
By: Armando | 3 Comments
I’d love to say that I expected anything different to what we got yesterday, a pummeling from a supposedly weakened Mallorca squad, but I was not-so cautiously optimistic. We had been on a poor run of form early but all anyone could say, our opponents and journalists alike, was how hard we were playing for [...]
Espanyol v Villareal

Alright, this is getting annoying, not as annoying as losing all those games last season but almost I’d say. At least we’re playing well. Sure, this makes 5 games without full points since we defeat Huelva on matchday 1, but the most annoying bit is that other than a blowout loss to Sevilla we’ve been [...]

Take me out of my misery
By: Armando | 1 Comment
The miserable second half is over ladies and gentlemen, our promising season that looked headed for European glory, was sucked in and spit out by the twin menaces of complacency and greed. Good riddance to the over-hyped imbeciles who looked at the Monopoly money in Europe, away from the Montjuic and decided that being an [...]

Where have we been since my last post? Twin scoreless defeats to two of the top teams in the Primera. We were again listless in both matches, comfortable and secure in our place at the table, yet weeks gone from the promise of a guaranteed European slot. The mistakes are killing us. I can think [...]
Espanyol, drilling for gold?
By: Armando | 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 [...]
