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 | No Comments
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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
