Derby Troubles
By: Mando |Much will be said in he coming weeks over this game, there will be match bans and fan arrests, calls for retribution from officials and from either set of supporters, but in the end it will be just one game (RCD Espanyol) played in one city (Barcelona), where in spite of being down one goal [...]
A New Beginning
By: Mando |I knew that top of the table couldn’t possibly be our luck, there are too many new pieces to our “clockwork-perico”, but I think we have a chance to do great things this year. Luis Garcia has been playing great, and he’s been a vocal leader.
After the loss midweek at Sevilla FC he added, [...]
Week One
By: Mando |A little late getting around to this but better late than never I guess: after a week’s worth of International games we’re about to set on against Recreativo Huelva, and that does look like a winnable match as they lost Sinama-Pongolle to Atleti over the summer, but before moving onto that: well lets talk about [...]
Transfer Window Continued
By: Mando |Well, last time I talked about what we’ve lost, now let me talk about what we’ve added. Nicolas Martin Pareja, the Argentinian that we’ve been linked to for awhile now, is in. He’s an Olympic gold medal winner with Argentina. He’s a 24-year-old centre-back which we needed help with all year. He plied his trade [...]
Transfer Window Closes
By: Mando |Great to be here again folks. The transfer window closes and the deals are coming fast and furious. Liverpool finally blinked and paid 17 million dollars for Albert Riera, Espanyol winger, or roughly 12million Euros or slightly less than the 13 million Euros that Espanyol were holding out for. All in all a decent amount [...]
A Benfica
By: Mando |The latest in the transfer saga that won’t go away. Luis Garcia is a valued player for our club. Yes, there have been talks with Benfica ongoing and I was going to blog earlier in the week, but I decided to wait instead a little closer to the Friday deadline that Paco Herrera set up [...]
Theater of Screams
By: Mando |Alright, I’ll get over it. We lost on Saturday to the European Champions giving away a goal to a kid who played for Hull City in their baby-food and black stripe kits last year, but I’ll take away some good things from the match. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer didn’t score in his own testimonial which is [...]
New Kits 2008-2009
By: Mando |I know, I’ve been lax in getting the information out, but after a month long crisis away from football, I’m back and raring to go. Lots to talk about. First, this came through my inbox awhile ago (thanks Nik) and I’ve been remiss to talk about it. The new 2008-2009 football kits are in and [...]
Away at Swansea
By: Mando |The new season is looming and the first friendly against Swansea was over the weekend and we beat the Welsh 4-0. Putting 4 past a Championship club is one thing, but a club like Swansea is another. Our starters were Chica, Victor Ruiz, Didac, De La Pena, Luis Garcia, Callejon, Coro, Jarque, Moises, Tamudo and [...]
