If anyone can translate their site...might tell us more

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Could be possible, they were due to go to Spain for training at somepoint this week. Whether it's versus them, or even today I'm not sure.

Unfortunately I can't speak fluent Spanish :-), but I couldn't find anything on there that would suggest anything.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

From the gist of it they are playing at 5pm; ( Ciutat Esportiva is the ground where the reserves play. The first team play in the Olympic Statdium in Barcelona)

Seguint amb el pla d'entrenaments previstos per l'Espanyol B, el filial blanc-i-blau s'enfrontarà demà dimecres, a les 17 hores, a la Ciutat Esportiva, a l'Accrington Stanley, conjunt anglès que milita a la League Two (l'equivalent a una Segona B), com ja va fer la setmana passada davant el FK Moscou. Malgrat això, durant el partit de demà, els homes de Rubi podran comptar amb el suport de fins a 10 jugadors del primer equip, ja que Ernesto Valverde ha previst que un grup dels seus jugadors no participi en l'entrenament matinal i sí ho faci en aquest partit d'entrenament amb l'equip anglès. Gorka, Lacruz, Ito, David García, Fredson, Costa, Jônatas, Moha, Coro i Pandiani seran els encarregats de reforçar al filial per a aquest partit.

L'Accrington Stanley, que es troba disfrutant d'uns dies de descans a Catalunya, es troba classificat en 18è lloc (de 24 equips) de la League Two i serà una bona prova, fonamentalment, per calibrar el nivell dels nois del filial, després de la preparació específica que han tingut durant el període nadalenc.

today sees the blue and whites, Espanyol B, play host to Accrington Stanley who have no game this week due to Champions League and International commitments, in a match that begins at 5 o'clock. They play the League 2 (the equivalent of one better than our La Liga)

com ja va fer la setmana passada davant el FK Moscou summat about better than FC Moscow) Malgrat això, durant el partit de demà, els homes de Rubi podran comptar we found them on the computer and invited them for a kick about amb el suport de fins a 10 jugadors del primer equip their support consists of 10 jugglers with the best equipment , ja que Ernesto Valverde ha previst que un grup dels seus jugadors no participi en l'entrenament matinal i Ernie Valverde has refused to let the jugglers enter this afternoon s í ho faci en aquest partit d'entrenament amb l'equip anglès. Gorka, Lacruz, Ito, David García, Fredson, Costa, Jônatas, Moha, Coro i Pandiani seran els encarregats de reforçar al filial per a aquest partit. in case their equipment upsets our Ultras David, Freds son, Costa, Jonny, Uncle Mo. Pandiani has also requested he forces them to have a bath
L'Accrington Stanley, que es troba disfrutant d'uns dies de descans a Catalunya, Accrington Stanley who had trouble coming through Catlunya when their fruit died es troba classificat en 18è lloc (de 24 equips) de la League Two are currently 18th )out of 24 teams) i serà una bona prova, fonamentalment, per calibrar el nivell dels nois del filial, although they are the current champions of non-league and their calibre is unquestionable després de la preparació específica que han tingut durant el període nadalenc. depressing is thought that this afternoon they will whup our ass




if my GCSE Spanish serves me right

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

From what I gather it is not really Spanish it is Catalan. The game kicks of at 5pm and the Espanyol squad could contain ten first team players - Gorka, Lacruz, Ito, David Garcia, Fredson, Costa, Jonatas, Moha, Coro and Pandini.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Great post Macca. If you've also got a GCSE in Maths, maybe you can figure out a calculation that gets us further up the league

Re: Espanyol v Stanley

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Following with the plan of training anticipated by Espanyol B, the branch blanquiazul (2nd team,plus junior) will face Wednesday tomorrow, to the 17 hours, in the Sport City, to the Accrington Stanley, English set that militates (plays) in the League Two (the equivalent one to one Second B), since it already did the week last before the FK Moscow. Nevertheless, during the morning party, the men of Rubi will be able to count on the support of up to 10 players of the first equipment,(First team) since Ernesto Valverde has anticipated that a group of his players does not participate in the matinal training and yes he does it in this party of training with the English equipment.(players) Gorka, Lacruz, Ito, David Garci'a, Fredson, Coast, Jônatas, Moha, Choir and Pandiani will be the ones (available) in charge to reinforce to the branch for this encounter. The Accrington Stanley, that is enjoying days of rest in Catalunya, is classified in 18place (of 24 teams) of the League Two and will be a good test, fundamentally, to calibrate the level of the boys of the branch, after the specific preparation who have had during the period.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

I gather Stanley lost 4-1 with Michael Welch scoring the Reds goal

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

MMMmmmmmmmmm i wonder too:rolleyes: :D

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

What gave it away? :rolleyes:

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

A (very) rough, slightly edited version from a web translator. I've put 'reserves' but could it be the 'youth team'? I've no idea about a 'formed cocktail'!

4-1: Friendly of local color

The formed cocktail has been imposed with firmness to the Accrington Stanley of League Two in the match of training that has been contended for this afternoon by the first team and the reserves in the sport city. The English team, that is in Catalonia having some days of training and holidays, was only rival during the first half, in which they put the white and blues in difficulties in the game.

Ten players of the first team participated in the first half and only Ángel, of the reserves, while after half-time they continued Ito in assets, Fredson, Costa, Gorka and Moha until they were substituted to minute 60 for reserve players.

Fredson (in minute 23) and Jônatas (in the 26) made it 2-0 with which half-time was arrived at. After the resumption, Moha put 3-0 (in 57) and Javi Márquez, of penalty, in 66, achieved the fourth white and blues goal. Welch achieved the English goal in minute 84.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

how many did we have sent off?

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

has everybody at the club gone? its just that there appears to have been no news of any sorts since Wycombe on saturday

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

I know I aint been to a game for nearly two weeks but who is this guy

http://www.rcdespanyol.com/popupgale...icherosel=5206


new signing?

(edit - sorry picture 2, I know who pic 1 is)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Isn't he the french lad who's been hanging around at games with Rommy & Francois?

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

dunno, I was hoping it was a tanned Mannix!

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Maybe we didn't have enough fit players and had to borrow one of theirs :)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Maybe they'll let us bring him back, like other people bring straw donkeys back. :)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

If not - and he's any good - we could just kidnap him and hold him to ransom till the end of the season :)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

if it's the lad that hangs around with boco and francois I asked him what team he played for on a night out and he replied in a very nice french accent that he was without a team at mo after leaving a belgian team.. I then asked how he was keeping his fitness up and he said he was doing it himself...

Of course I offered to help :D

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

There won't be any 'straw' donkeys coming back ;)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Ouch :D Lol

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Echo Echo Echo :p

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Now i'm no expert but it's not him...lad on pic has different hair.

The mystery continues...

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Looks like they HAVE brought him back! See fishy site.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

excellent news, and nice to see soembody has found the login for the admin page on the site!!!!!

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Doesn't say on the website whether he's on loan or if we've signed him.
Might have to get an extra extra extra large shirt made to fit his name on.

Any ideas for a song for the Clayton end?

"There's only one Mauro Alexandreda Silva Almeida"

Mmmmmmm......maybe not.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Can't find owt about him on google. Anybody else discovered anything?

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

"One Mauro Silva" rolls nicely off the tongue.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Could this be him??

GRONINGEN, April 25 (Eredivisie) - Zwolle remain in the relegation play-off zone after they came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Groningen.

The home side led through first-half goals from Sander van Gessel and Paul Matthijs, but Albert van der Haar and a late strike from Mauro Almeida ensured it ended all square.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Try these

http://home.skysports.com/player.asp...hannel=holland

Most other info about him is not in English, but I'll keep looking.

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

So one mystery about who he is is solved - we just need to find out a bit more about the lad, google here I come :)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

John Coleman can come on here after and have a lokk at what he has signed :D

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Well my googling got me nowhere, but going off the links that LocalRed has posted if Ian Holloway rated him enough to give him a trial he must be a decent player. Might just have to have a shufty up to the ground tomorrow, watching the lads train & maybe having a bit o'lunch sounds just the ticket

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Cheers, Local Red, he sounds promising! Any chance you could report back on here after you've seen him in action and tell us what you think, AccyMad? :D

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

No problem Wynonie - just hope neither of my lads want his name on their shirt - how much!! :)

Re: Espanyol v Stanley
 

Yeah, it would be a bit expensive! Cheers, anyway, AM!
