Tigre 1 – 2 Newell’s
By: Jeremy | 1 Comment
Just a short clip of the goals tonight. Oh and Newell’s provided all three goals with Boghossian scoring an own goal before netting the winner in the 86th minute.

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 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.)

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.

With the big win this Saturday over fellow contender Vélez, in el Fortín in Liniers, no less, Newell’s pulls to within one point of the summit in a three-way tie with Estudiantes and Banfield, trailing only Colón.

It’s started. Over at la Lepra’s official website the poll is up and the early results are a runaway for naming el Coloso after Marcelo Bielsa. As of a few minutes ago it was something like 1085 for and 57 against.
I thought I had read that you had to be a registered socio, but it let me vote so maybe not.

It doesn’t favor Newell’s so well. The home team has won the last eight matches and el Fortín hold a decisive lead in the series, 58-37-34. La Lepra have even drawn more than they’ve won.
To make things worse, Newell’s has been shut out on 10 of their last 12 trips to Liniers.
Of course, this side is a different club than those that lost so quietly at Vélez in the past, so I’m thinking records and streaks won’t matter as much. Both clubs are looking for a win to boost their championship hopes and keep in the hunt.
Here’s hoping that Newell’s scores early and often this Saturday to reverse the recent trend in the series.

Yep, just a scant few weeks after the non-existent penalty call on Machuca that cost Newell’s the draw (and two points that would put us on top) and the dodgy sending off of Schiavi, we get every lepers favorite referee, Gabriel Favale.

Category: Team NewsEl Coloso to be renamed for el Loco Bielsa?
By: Jeremy | Add Comments
Seems like the directors are going to put out a survey to gauge the receptiveness of the Lepra faithful for naming the stadium after Newell’s favorite son, Marcelo Bielsa.
Things are all touchy-feely right now between the fans and el Loco, what with him saying that he could never love another shirt more than Newell’s and the fans holding up signs signs saying no fans could ever love a coach more than they love him.
So I am thinking it is a go for a name change at the Parque.
How crazy would that be, to name it after him and then have him return as coach in the future in a stadium that bears his name? (I know it has happened before, but still)
