Cup Fever.....

I've got it bad....unlike the rest of Spain.

Tonight Real Murcia visit Sant Andreu in Barcelona for the third round - the prize is a fourth round two-legged tie against one of the Primera sides who play in europe this season. That means the winner will play either Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Athletico Madrid, Getafe or Seville. Given the top teams do not take the competition seriously at all, I think we would have a good chance of giving them a game. But first we have to overcome Sant Andreu, which will be no easy task away from home and with the handicap that they play on an artificial pitch. They are also in segunda B (Group 3), were close to promotion last season, and have ex-Barcelona chairman and complete loony Joan Gaspart at the helm. Gonna be tough.

I think we can go a long way in the Cup....and I will be gutted, inconsolable, depressed, peed off, angry and borderline suicidal if we get knocked out. So this may be the last post!

ADELANTE VAMOS REAL MURCIA!!!

  1. TODAY IN MY OPINION WE PLAY A VERY DIFICULT MATCH, A VERY VERY DIFICULT ONE. THE TEAM IS VERY TIRED , AND SAN ANDRES IS A VERY GOOD TEAM. I HAVE READ THAT THEY HAVE A VERY NOISY SUPPORTERS, THE FIELD IS NEAR THE STANDS , IN THE OTHER HAND NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE USE TO GO TO SEE SAN ANDRES , ABOUT 3.000 PEOPLE (IN 2ªb MAY BE AVERY GOOD NUMBER). REAL MURCIA OR SAN ANDRES WILL HAVE A SUCCULENT PROFIT IF THEY PASS THE ROUND. EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE. I WILL BE NEAR MY RADIO TONIGHT , NO TV AGAIN , WITH A COLD BEER IN MY HAND SUPPORTING REAL MURCIA .....IM A ROMANTIC.
