River Plate 2012-13 Season: El Regreso del Mas Grande [R]

I seriously think Pa$$arella and Turnes nos estan cargando. These two millionaires are sitting in their mansions in pilar and punta del este laughing about people who really care about the club. Look at what Turnes said:

How can you seriously make a comment like that coming off one of the the most pathetic performances in club history? Not to mention the fact that if we lose sunday, we will be in descenso directo... Not saying they shouldn't back the DT, but to call him the "Feguson" (the winningest DT in the history of english football) is just a joke. Especially because most of the CD is already making contact with candidates to replace him. Reminds me exactly of what happened with Astrada when we played the game against atletico tucuman with cappa already hired even though DAP told him he was still his DT... Just as I predicted months ago, as soon as the results didn't give, DAP and his pals would stab Almeyda in the back even though he has been a faithful puppet for them and took the fall for the cave and chori debacle

Mamita, so much for the economic championship and the project of passarella

 

You're joking, right? A 2-0 defeat against one of the most consistent teams in Argentine football in the last 5 years is the most pathetic performance in club history? We were relegated, and in one season ended dead last with a record low points and managed to lose 4-1 against ALL FOUR recently promoted teams.

And you know what's worse? Despite all the doom and gloom, Almeyda's effectiveness rate is... 63%.

 

So because we sucked before, we should excuse a game where we couldn't complete 2 passes in a row? That game could have easily been 5 or 6-0. Barovero had a number of good saves and Ferrerya was wasteful in front of goal. Everyone in the world knows that game was poised to be a goleada... We also can't deny that the barras killed velez's momentum when they disrupted the game

And don't go prattling off Almeyda's efficiency rate... If we lose sunday, we're in descenso directo. I seriously don't get how you can be defending this "project"

We have the best 9, hands down, in the country, but our coach hasn't figured out how to get him involved (Lanzini as an enganche anyone?)

 

when I saw there was going to be a presser today I was ecstatic that it meant River was going to wash its hands of Almeydas reign of terror. But it turns out every person is as dilusional as the next at River.
I mean seriously Im just ready for the 11 this weekend to be Chichizola, FM6 (theyll forget he's suspended) Bottinelli, Gonzalez Pirez, Arano, Sanchez, Aguirre, Ledesma, Kranevitter, FM9, Luna, and Trezeguet. Why? because hes Matias Almeyda and he can make whatever random lineup he wants and have no accountability for it.

god damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mora is injured... Just great.

What will Almeyda do? Will he turn to Lanzini again, as he should? What about Cazares?

Will he continue with the out of form Sanchez? Or will Affranchino be given another shot?

Will he insist on the terrible Bottinelli? (most likely will be forced to be the president)

Will he field a back 3?

So many questions... and we have a DT who has no answers.

 

I have no words.

 

Ponzio y Mora magnificos gran triunfo de River.Es obvio que Luna y Funes Mori tienen que pelear para empezar.
FUERZA ALMEYDA

 

Well that was better, Lets see how it looks next week in front of 1,000 local fans in Mendoza.

 

Ah shit, this shows how busy I've been. even better though, its time to put a good stretch together going into that game so that if it comes down to it River can leapfrog that teamand make all those ********heads extra bitter.

God I hate those people so much, its the lowest of the low in our society. Not to mention the whole world.

 

Yes, I'm trying to get tickets for that. Anybody know a good place/company to get them from? Ideally one selling for under $300/ticket would be nice.

 

Its going to be quite hard to find a ticket to this game, as a socio I am quite doubtful I'll have any luck, so I looked at a few tourist sights and they are sold out too. (I tried Tangol and BairesFun)

I can't wait. The team finally played well, now lets see if we can do it at home. The best thing is, players like Pezzella (i know locoxriver and I have been calling for him since before we went down...) are showing their worth and I am a big fan of Affranchino, another player from the club.

Up front, we have options. If Treze is off the pace, put in Luna for him and later bring in FM9 for a midfielder. Mora is untouchable... I really like this player

Ponzio has been amazing this season, lets hope his trip to resistencia to sit around in the dark doesn't hurt his preparation

As for the Super, its so hard no to look forward to it, and although its only 2 games away, sadly its 3 weeks away as we must stomach the FIFA date, and this time there will be know league game

At this point, River is the clear favorite. The only chance boca has to beat us is to do what Racing did and get lucky on a set piece and hope we are off. Now however, if Luna, FM9, and Mora are on their games plus Trezeguet becomes a threat again, and you have Lanzini on the bench, I see River as overwhelming favorites even though boca is still higher in the table

 

Que partidazo.

 

Suddenly I can't wait for the Superclasico.

 

At last a fiesta in the Monumental and how good it feels.Que ALEGRIA As ive said for months and months on end patience is needed for the development of a project and things look better now.But noone should start coming off on their pants yet as this team is still a long long way from being related to any of our days of glory.But as you say all have huevos to pelear and the project in the inferiores is among the best on the planet.
VAMO RIVER y tres puntos contra Quilmes

 

What a game that was!

Like everyone else, I have an eye on the superclasico... its getting SO close.

The only frustrating thing is that right when the team starts playing well we have a week off for the damn fecha fifa...

 

Certainly looked confident and on an upswing against Godoy. Don't think many people saw that Ponzio FK more than a match for Leo's effort.

 

Sorry I'm a bit confused? a comparison to Messi's FK? Just curious, because they are both named Leo

Ponzio is probably the best player of the tournament... And I find it funny that Sabella chooses to have Braña in the squad while Ponzio wasn't even starting on the local nt

AS for the game, I think River is going to be able to work so much more tranquilly after 9 goals in 2 games, I am just worried that this damn fifa date is going to kill our momentum and give bosta some time to work out their problems. It would be PERFECT if we played bosta this coming weekend

But regardless, we need to try and stay focused on Quilmes and figure out whats best for the team and David. I liked that Almeyda took him out, because it is obvious he's not at his best and that his personal problem are affecting his play (I'm not blaming him, going through a divorce, having his kids so far away, those are SO hard to deal with)

I'd like to see Luna start against Quilmes and then have Trezeguet return against bosta

 

Thanks. Yeah doesn't look good. Some seem to be still available through ViaGOGO, but not sure how trustworthy they are. And also very expensive ($650 for 2 tickets )

 

No disrespect to David but right now I trust Luna more than him, against Quilmes hopefully they both get playing time.

 

Not much to do with River, but check out this song from Vasco do Gama that sings about River. It brings sad memories when we lost in the semifinals of that tournament in 1998 but its pretty cool to hear.
