Still El Coloso, Still In The Park


Damn, should be in bed, but just spotted this, and had to chime in with a correction to the news of the stadium name change. The full, official name of Newell's Old Boys stadium will be "Coloso del Parque Marcelo Bielsa" as of tomorrow, the ceremony to take place at 8pm local time.

That means we can continue to call Boghossian "el Coloso del Coloso." Well, as long as he stays with the club, anyway. (Small prayer, please let it be a long time.)

Boghossian is still "El Coloso del Coloso" I hope he will stay with us for more than June 30 , but ... its expensive (USD 4Mill) . Anyway all done by him was great , we will enjoy the upcoming goals ..just enjoy!!

Yes, Juan, we must enjoy Bogho while we have him. Hopefully Newell's well go far in the Copa, which will help the team's finances.

I really hope we can do well in both the Copa, and the Clausura, but that may be asking too much... but before the start of the Apertura, a second place finish seemed an impossible dream.

For now I will still hope to finish the Clausura in the top five, and, for now, that we can get past Emelec and on to the group stage of the Libertadores.
