I’ll have to let you know in advance next time I’m in Manchester.

Johnny, I hope your roof’s not too bad. And if you and Johann want to meet up but prefer not to put your contact details publicly on the site, you can always email me and I can put the two of you in touch, jajaja!

C**y and Racing had something else in common today Seba, they both lost a clásico…

Special for Zuculini’s head tackles (by head tackles of course I mean tackles made with his head and not tackles aimed to Boca players’ heads -which would be what some Boca players of the 80s (like Enrique Hrabina and Blas Giunta) would do quite often-).

It stopped raining and my electricity was restored after some 15 or 16 hours of darkness.

Watching the Manchester derby now. I’ve always liked Manchester City as they play in the same colours of Racing and face the Red Devils in their derby match. If you come to think of it…Manchester City and Racing could be twin-clubs with all the financial mess, relegation, more financial mess and above all great support.

Still…my team in England is QPR for 11 years now (since I started playing a game very similar to Championship Manager -called PC Fútbol 7-).

No street vendors today ! Still raining as I type this, but not monsoon rain !

I hope the Bombonera will be ready later today. If not, I would much prefer postponing the match than have it played on a bad pitch.

I had more or less the same problem today. My windows allowed gallons of water leaking in today. Horrible!

I live on outskirts the of San Telmo bordering to La Boca on Av.Caseros. Close to you?

You see it used every now and then. Caranta is back as well-on the bench.

Johan and I must live pretty close to one another. I’m about a 15 minute walk from the Bombonera as well.

My roof always leaks in a heavy rain-fortunately only in the kitchen.

Horrible.

BTW, why is Datolo available to play, did he win an appeal or something?

Could’ve bought you a pint tonight, I’m at a loose end now with no football to watch, ha ha : (

I’m sure Seba can update this, but I’m assuming Lanus-Arsenal won’t happen. But maybe the game in Jujuy will be played, so I’ll probably stay up till 1130 to see if there’s anything to watch.

Here in Manchester, I can’t see anything out of my window because of fog. (A few matches were abandoned here because of the weather).

Presumably, though, this match will now re-start at 16 minutes with 11 against 10? That always seems to happen in Argentina (I remember a Racing-Independiente game that was abandoned because of floodlight failure re-started exactly where it had been stopped).

Here in England, anything that has happened in the match previous to it being abandoned is wiped out, and they start from scratch – really unfair. In the FA Cup, a semi-professional team took the lead away at a league club, but the match was abandoned at half time and that goal will now be wiped out : (

Mind you, I think Huracan might be happy to lose their goal rather than play an hour 11 against 10?
