Great news for Racing, would love to see Llop continue his pibe project now. I will admit, I wasn’t happy with Llop for a long time, but who is better now? Simeone? Would this be making the same mistake twice, that was made swapping Cholo for Merlo in the same place. If Cholo had stayed, Racing would not be in this position now… but it looks like this is Llop’s time now, and we should all trust in him to battle away from the drop. The new institutional stability should help?

Come on, Nolan. Cheer up! Don’t forget it was in “the past few months” that River won the Clausura 2008!!!!

Congrats to Racing fans for finally being able to look up, though personally the gift I would want is pretending the past few months never happened, at least for River.

completely off the point but did anyone see Emiliano Insua play for liverpool yesterday? Man of the match. Absolute quality crosser of the ball. Never paniced when under pressure. i know its only one game but hes only 19 and looks a good one for the future. Does anyone know why he left boca so early and did he play at all for them??

Thanks Sam!

I think today was more important than all of our matches in the Apertura put together.

Molina will start working as early as Monday morning and I’m confident in his love for Racing (hey…we Racing fans, never stop believing!). I like that he’s a very low profile guy that doesn’t want to participate in any fights or controversies with others.

He’s been saying: “Los pibes no se venden” (“The youngsters are not for sale”) and we’ll see if that promise doesn’t come back to hunt him. Hopefully he’ll be able to generate the resources to keep at least a few of the brighter prospects (like Zuculini, Prichoda and Shaffer) for a couple of seasons and make them play around a couple of decent signings that MUST come to Racing if we are to avoid the promoción after the next Clausura.

There’ll be time to talk about that. In the meantime, Feliz Navidad, Racing. Indeed!
