Back in the saddle again?

By: Armando | April 29th, 2009

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 Futbol it is always with the knowledge that I am representing the blanc-i-blau in the process.

Well, since I’ve been gone some very important changes have occurred in the months of March and April. A drop into the depths of relegation has sparked an unbelievable comeback. Pochettino went on a pilgrimage to Montserrat to beg for the safety of the club and it seems like it has helped. No longer one of the lowest scoring teams in La Liga, our goal differential is reaching a respectable single digit deficit rather than the -20 or more that Numancia and the like are sporting.

Are we out of the woods yet? No. Valencia are coming up as are Atletico Madrid. But then we have some more manageable games against Bilbao, Almeria and Malaga and from then on, who knows? Maybe some well-deserving sides like Betis or Racing can slip up some more and get us away from the danger zone.

And yes, I’ll try to blog more here. We’re already inundated with Barca chat with all this Champions League nonsense going around. And if you’d like to read more of what I’ve been doing: try forzafutbol.com

    Welcome back Mando!! Things over here have also been busy but I too am never too far away from all things ‘blanquiazul’.

    Força Espanyol, Nick. I hope you got a chance to visit the website, let me know what you think, and I’d still like to do another interview soon, maybe when the pressure is off? I was tempted to run back to Barcelona and make the hike with Pochettino to Montserrat if it meant we stayed up.
