By: Jeremy |Just imagine what game day will be like. This is just fans coming out to support the team in the traditional Banderazo that happens a few days before every clásico. Only this time, more than 25,000 fans showed up.

Of Chacarita and Scoundrels
By: Jeremy |There isn’t much to say about Friday’s win at Chacarita. Newell’s played better, but needed an own goal to escape with a 0-1 win. So no need for a video clip.

Villar Shuts Out the Dutch
By: Jeremy |One of Newell’s favorite sons, 2004 title winner with La Lepra, and Paraguayan national team keeper Justo Villar made several good stops late to keep the Netherlands from scoring in a 0-0 draw.
Justo played 135 matches for NOB from 2004 – 2008 and in my opinion is the best keeper La Lepra ever had. He’s the reason I even watched part of the friendly tonight.
Just thought I’d throw this post out since he’s still one of my favorite players.

NOB 2 – 1 La Banda or Who Was That Tall Uruguayan?
By: Jeremy |Quick thoughts after the match:
Newell’s are playing like title winners, refusing to lose (or draw in this case) and scored another late match winner.
Boghossian is a beast. I don’t remember if NOB bought him or if he is on loan (I am thinking he is on loan) but I am seriously hoping any loan deal included a purchase option.

Up Next, Tigre.
By: Jeremy |Well, Schiavi has been not been ruled out but team doctors are recommending that el Flaco sit this one out. Seeing as how Tigre are bottom of table, it makes sense to rest him. He’s got a small tear in the muscle of his left foot (I’m not sure what you call it in English or Spanish) and doctors say with the match off he should be back 100% against River.

Newell’s 1 – 0 Racing
By: Jeremy |Newell’s continued their winning ways with a thriller against Racing. Racing came in on a bad run of form and tried to grind out a 0 – 0 draw by parking a bus in front of their goal that almost worked.
Once Newell’s scored, courtesy of Juan Manuel Insaurralde and about a half-dozen headers (seriously how many times can you bounce a corner in the air) Racing tried to attack, and Newell’s keeper Sebastián Peratta should win Man of the Match honors for a couple of good stops late in the game.
(I thought I had posted this earlier but I had just saved it as a draft. Must be the new WP update. I’ve done that like three times now.)
Vélez 1 – 2 Newell’s aka Boghossian’s Coming Out
By: Jeremy |In a must have game if Newell’s wanted to become a serious contender, Uruguayan Joaquín Boghossian answered the bell for Newell’s, finding the back of the net twice and narrowly missing a third. Video after the jump.
