Won't forget how Tamudo helped us too a few years back.

Tamudo's performance that night was heroic. Has to be one of the best rounds ever for pure excitement.

Team =\= wife Khaled, let's not get carried away here. But I enjoyed seeing Espanyol put their best foot forward against their most hated rivals in Barcelona. They generally don't win but it shows that they have serious pride within them. Effort like that should not be unappreciated.

Barcelona should have damn won the game though...

BTW, i wish our team had Espanyol's mentality, these guys just run like a dog.

Kudos to them for not giving up easily. :bow:

Yeah but in that case, metaphorically speaking, who would be the one taking it from the back? Laughing

Setgio Garcia is awesome IMO. Would like him next to Soldado.

Would have been better if Espanyol kept Luis Garcia who is also awesome.

In the end though. Espanyol were lucky to get a draw in this one. That's normal, though.

Manager sacked Laughing

Shouldn't have sacked him, sure they are going through a rough patch, but give him more time ffs, he gave Espanyol 4 years of good service and saved the team when he got there and this is how they repay him. Hope they get relegated now Laughing

@mole, why are you laughing??? Pochetino is a Madrid fan.

Hopefully he is one of the candidates to take over from Mou when he retires. People will probably laugh when they read that but he has been very unlucky this season with so many departures and not buying replacements relying on a grandad verdu for attack. the replacement won't do much better imho

When Pochetino actually had players who could play he made such a good team out of them, playing sexy footy and finishing well above midtable and this without even buying players.

He fully deserves to be sacked. Not so much because of the results, but because of his poor man managing skills that are costing Espanyol milions. In a poor club like Espanyol, you just can't be picky and have Pochetino's filias and phobias against players.

It was like Pochetino decided every year to shun the best and with best market value players until they had to leave for peanuts: Tamudo, Kameni, Javi Marquez, Luis Garcia, Alvaro Vazquez...
