Goodbye Dani Jarque
By: Armando |It’s not that I didn’t want to write anymore on Dani Jarque, that I didn’t think the story was important to continue, not at all, but I didn’t want to belabor the point. I didn”t want to drag it out or be disrespectful, or even take advantage of it at all. When tragedies like this [...]
Random Thoughts
By: Armando |When a tragedy happens in sports, especially in football where people identify so strongly with their own and you have derby games or rivalry matches that bring the worst emotions out of people, more than just competitiveness I mean, real hatred for the shirt of your opponent, and something like this happens, you find all [...]
Dani Jarque, Espanyol captain RIP
By: Armando |When you’re 26 years old and the starting central defender for an up and coming club like Espanyol, recently made Captain of the squad in fact under Mauricio Pochettino, you shouldn’t be expecting that it can all be taken away from you, that you could go to your hotel room on a tour of Italy [...]
Espanyol Notes: New Stadium
By: Armando |Today is the day for the official grand opening of the new stadium at Cornella el Pratt, the Nou Sarria as some of my colleagues are calling it, or officially the new RCD Espanyol Stadium.

Tamudo

Estadio de Cornellá – El Prat

Espanyol 3-0 Valencia
By: Armando |Let me just stop and say that again. Espanyol 3 and Valencia 0. This is the same club last week that should have beaten Barcelona soundly at the Mestalla, a club with the likes of Villa, Silva and my favorite new player Mata, of course he’d be a lot better if he came out in [...]
Dipinto di bianconeri?
By: Armando |No you are not reading the wrong blog. I just wanted to give you a taste of what might have been coming out of the new stadium next year. According to some websites, primarily Italian calcio sites with nothing better to write about this time of year, there are talks ongoing between Sanchez-Llibre and the [...]
FC Barcelona 1-2 RCD Espanyol
By: Armando |Sometimes in football, like in this match, the most incomprehensible things occur; the littlest player on the field (Ivan de la Pena) comes through with an unlikely header, unmarked and unchallenged, and then he adds to the tally with a monumental gift by Victor Valdez chipping it over the keeper after receving a wayward clearance [...]
