1-0 Newell’s at the break
By: Jeremy |German ‘el Colorado’ Re scored his first of the season a few minutes from time. My internet connection is acting up right now, so I am reduced to listening to the game over a radio feed. Formica replacing Vangioni is not looking like a bad choice right now, from what I can hear. [...]
Friday night, guerra of the Scotti.

Not an injury, but Juan Quiroga is [...]
A few more pics of the derby
By: Jeremy |I posted one of Salcedo after he scored, but here is a better one of why he had the mummy gear. The guy is class.
Thoughts on the game
By: Jeremy |Always nice to win the classico, especially at their place. Man that defense of Newell’s was fierce. Diego Scotti was a warrior. He shut down their captain Gonzalez. Spolli was all over the place. Schiavi was steady and captain like. And what about Sa-Sa? He got an elbow to [...]

Relegation update
By: Jeremy |No change in position for Newell’s in the relegation table. Still 14th, and 1/100th of a point ahead of Central. That will definitely change this week after the big showdown.
