RCD Espanyol: Nou Sarria

News: I won't say much today. Two weeks in a row, beaten by cellar dwellers, but this week by less-than-Super Depor? Granted the goal by midfielder Angel Lafita was understandable, but defender Fabrizio Coloccini? 2 goals in the last 5 years in Spain, ex-Argentine international Coloccini, whose hair is more "fabulous" than his play? On a side that very well could be relegated to the Segunda? What is going on. How many times can Valverde come out with the, "we must turn this around", speech?

We were missing Little Buddha and Zabalayeta, both were suspended, and Raul Tamudo continued on the shelf from his broken arm. Torrejon, Marc Garcia and Riera should be back and we'll be back on one of our patented little mini-streaks soon enough. At lest I hope.

Now, let me get to the real news. The groundbreaking has begun! The new Sarria' has been in the works for yers now, and until today it has been just a dream since. We have had the Montjuic but every supporter I've talked to has little to say about it. It isn't our home, and now we'll have one.

As you can see by the picture above it will be state of the art, it'll seat 40,000 plus and it'll have a sports and entertainment complex nearby like all the brand new stadias are having nowadays. Most importantly it'll be green. It'll collect rainwater and it'll have huge solar panels for sunlight, but most importantly it'll be financed privately, and it'll give us the wherewithal to compete in the transfer market, not with the Real Madrid's r the Barcelona's of the world, but certainly for tht next tier in the Spanish League that clubs like Sevilla, Betis, ad Villareal have all vied for with Valencia and Atletico Madrid fr the last few years.
