Ramon Moya, ex-manager of RCD Espanyol released a statement that the problems facing Espanyol today (having lost so many points and staring the spectre of relegation in the face) started many years ago and that the fault lies squarely on the heads of theblanc-i-blau players.
The responsibility is on the players, because it does not seem [...]

Paco Herrera resigns
By: Armando | 2 Comments
So, Paco Herrera can’t continue living off the glory of helping Rafa Benitez win the Champions League trophy anymore. Instead he leaves the club he joined from Liverpool with a bunch of failed negotiations and an inability to close the deal when any deal would have helped the cause.
Sure he was faced with an unbalanced [...]

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 [...]
Copa del Rey: RCD Espanyol 0-0 FC Barcelona
By: Armando | No Comments
Now that’s more like it. Alright, I understand it was against an under-strength Barca side that was starting Bojan all by his widdle-self up front, grey haired Silvinho and Alex Hleb’s pale ineffectual ghost on the wing, but my god we were impressive. I mean, come on, 12 seconds in we’ve already gotten stuck-in at [...]

By: Armando | 3 Comments
Well, as you’ve pretty much noticed it’s been pretty barren here at the RCD Espanyol Blog and I really want to apologize to my one lone reader. As many of you know, Espanyol have been plummeting down the table, a table filled with teams far less talented or even historic than ours. We have seen [...]

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 [...]
Deportivo la Coruña v Espanyol
By: Armando | No Comments
Picture an historic club in Spain, with royal patronage for what its worth, and focus on their talismanic striker, a club legend named Raul who despite his advancing age is still a leader on the pitch as well as off it. He spends his entire career at the club after debuting as a raw rookie [...]
Espanyol 1 v Osasuna 0
By: Armando | No Comments
This is more like it. I know that we were facing bottom feeder Osasuna and Camacho big sweaty armpits but it’s a great day when you play your game and your captain scores a beautiful striker’s goal. It was a typical Raul Tamudo strike; lunchbox in hand, a meat-and-potatoes goal where he was pinched between [...]

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 [...]
