Valladolid-Mallorca

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Lets make things simple…we need a win and three points. Valladolid, while a beautiful city in north central Spain, should not be better then Mallorca in La Liga. Yet they sit above us in the standings and have played well.
After last weeks draw at home to Malaga, why would anyone think we could get points [...]

Are We Aware of Our Dilemma?

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Its not good news when your team is slowly dropping down in the standings with each passing week knowing that four likely ass whippings are on the horizon. If you cant get the needed points against teams like Malaga, then how do you expect to get them against better teams.
Like it or not, this team [...]

Mallorca-Malaga

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Didnt we just play these guys? Pretty uneventful game where we won 2-0 at home to see us move on to the next round of the Copa. So in less then 2 weeks, we get them again at home in a vital La Liga game. As I mentioned in the last post, this is the [...]

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

Yes I am Pissed

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

Where does it end with our team? Its one thing to let almost all the star players go(yeah I know they didnt have much choice) and revamp the team with some new, but talented players, but once the season begins, they tease us with inconsistent play, and the fans are driven mad.
This storyline continues each [...]

Mallorca-Athletic

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

If you are a fan of La Liga and not necessarily either of these teams, this game on the surface seems like a boring game between teams who seem to be going nowhere and are setting themselves up for a relegation fight. I think most teams in La Liga fit this description. From 6th place [...]

It’s a 90 Minute Game Fellas

By: Jeremy | Comments No Comments

Things are getting all too familiar in Palma as Mallorca continues to play inconsistent football and fails to concentrate for the full 90 minutes often forcing it to overcome bad starts or causing it to give away points when they otherwise wouldnt. Whether its giving up a first minute goal to Betis which leads to [...]
