The Man Who Would Be King, Part II
By: Jeremy |Guillermo Lorente is heading the list of candidates to take over the direction of Newell’s Old Boys in the December 14th election. Who is Guillermo Lorente, you might ask? I know I did. Well, to the best of my ability, not ever having met him and knowing nothing about him, here is [...]
The Man Who Would Be King (or at least president) Part I
By: Jeremy |As November gives way to December, the longgggg awaited elections at Independence Park seem possibly to finally be on the verge of happening.
Before I try and take a look at Guillermo Lorente, who is the opposition candidate for president of Newell’s, let’s take a quick look at how we got here, staring waaaay back in [...]
I Forgot One Thing
By: Jeremy |Seems like Gamboa isn’t happy with the physical conditioning of the team. He went even so far as to blame the regimen of the previous coaching staff as the reason. You can imagine what previous coach Ricardo Caruso Lombardi had to say to that. Roughly translated, he said Gamboa is full of [...]
Newell’s out of Championship Race
By: Jeremy |With last Friday’s draw with Arsenal, Newell’s is officially out of the championship hunt, seven points back with three to go. Now it is a fight to finish as high as possible in the table, increase the promedio, and get into next years Sudamericana.
And honestly, I don’t feel too bad about it. This [...]
Newell’s 3 - 3 San Lorenzo
By: Jeremy |Wow. The first game all season that I missed in its entirety and it turned out to be a barn burner. I’m disappointed that la Lepra lost, but proud that they fought back from an opening 14 minutes that were disastrous. Being down 2-0 that quickly is tough to deal with, but [...]
Fabbiani is in, but I’m out.
By: Jeremy |My brother is getting married tomorrow and tonight is the rehearsal, so no game for me.
Aguante, Newell’s!!
Fabbiani still may play, and random junk.
By: Jeremy |I’m still a bit nervous heading into the match. Fabbiani wants to play, he said for Newell’s it is the match of the championship. NOB is a whole different animal with him in the game. He’s a fierce competitor and can finish from anywhere. His replacement, Juan Carlos Ferreyra can not. [...]
Next Up, San Lorenzo - and other stuff.
By: Jeremy |After a disappointing loss, I’ve finally mustered up the gumption to do another post. Bernardello will be back in the lineup on Sunday, but Fabbiani is a big doubt. Playing without him will make winning awfully hard. Even if he doesn’t score, opposing teams are constantly worried about him, creating chances for [...]
Not looking good at the half
By: Jeremy |Half time, Banfield 2 - Newell’s 1. The best feed is on TVU, scroll down the channels until you find Canal 7 from Argentina. Banfield scored 4 minutes in, Fabbiani got it back, and then Banfield struck again.
Spate of Birthdays these last few days.
By: Jeremy |Leandro Torres, el Chino, turned 20 yesterday and German Re turned 27 on the second, the day of the clasico. Sebastian Peratta turned 32 on the 1st.
