Salcedo had another good game. Struck the post. Fierce on defense. German Re was his usual stalwart self. Quiroga had a terrible outing doing anything but defending around the box. And Steinert, what can we say about Steinert. Absolutely stunk. Super fast at times, but had nothing. [...]

CRAP!!

Salcedo was brilliant again. The other Paraguayans, not so much. Da Silva was a ball losing ineffective forward. His worst game by far as a lepra. And Villar, what can we say about Villar. He has played some great games this season, so I guess he was due a stink [...]

El Crotto del Parque and El Grito Sagrado. One of my favorite Newell’s songs. Definitely like this band. I’d link you to them, but their site is down.
Also, thought I would throw out this link to Jose M’s site. Lots of great Newell’s clips and photos, although it is in Spanish.

Schiavi was ready to head back to Boca when he left Gremio, and a few people didn’t want him to return, so he signed with Newell’s. Last year, he beat Boca. If he beats Boca, at home, then don’t start wanting him back. He’s signed through 2010 and we best be keeping [...]

I know it is a little late, but I had to pay taxes this week, so here it is. Banfield has already lost, so while their average is lower than listed here, they maintain the same place.

Not a big deal for any other club to have the club’s president in the stands watching practice. But this is Newell’s. Lopez, according to most accounts, has never been to a practice in the 13 years he’s been in charge. Even the players noticed it. Caruso joked with Villar that [...]

Well, I am starting to get sick of all the European clubs buying our good players. Now Villar is off to Spain in the summer to play for a team that might not even be in La Liga next year. I know this is old news, but it still hacks me off. [...]

Well, Newell’s sit seventh in the latest cup standings. With seven spots for the Sudamericana up for grabs, that should be good news, but since one of those spots goes to Arsenal as defending champs, la lepra are one spot out of luck. The good news is that Lanus is one spot above [...]

Here they are, but forgive the quality. The first one is by some guy who took a video of his tv so he could be the firts to post the goal on the net. That’s fanhood for you.
The goal from German Re, his first at home in el Coloso.
Here are both goals and [...]

It’s official, la lepra has been chosen as the club team with the best name by perhaps the leading Chilean based North American english teaching internet authority on football.
When told about the honor, Caruso Lombardi responded by tearing up and saying “that ones for Bielsa.” Well, that is what I imagine he would say [...]
