Los Coladeros Episode 80: Hold The Phone
Two months without a Champions League fixture means we’ve got a whole lot of domestic games to power through. La Liga and the Copa del Rey are coming up, but I know what you want, dear readers. You already know we can win La Liga. You know we are the current owners of the King’s Cup. While I’m sure you’d love to see us win the treble, the main thing you’re after is not another domestic trinket — it’s a continental crown. I know you, and I see you. Your wish is my command.
As such, we are going to rifle through the next two months of domestic games, stopping only to revel in any glory we achieve or assign blame to whoever is responsible for the inevitable desperate losses. Strap in and pour yourself a stiff one… not in that order. It’s time for some quick-fire Los Coladeros. First up: Tenerife at La Cartuja.
An absolute piss-take of a game where we have 11 shots on target to their zero, but as you can all appreciate by now, an opposing goalkeeper in outrageous form means we’re forced to eat a useless draw. Simon Davies is all but sacked.
