Yes, there is a pun in the title involving our (least) favorite oversized disaster of a striker. That is most important and will come last. I have the obligation of reviewing what has happened over the past two weekends first.

There is no “news” to report. Nestor Gorosito, after 8 road matches at the helm of our beloved Bicho, has not won a single match. On the plus side, he only has to lead the team in to the bombonera to face Boca Juniors on Sunday…

Victory once again is ours. The result is nice, but the method was not exactly what could be hoped for. 75 minutes of agony looked like they were going to extend to a full 90. The crowd was growing restless and the players were desperate. It was exactly the sort of moment where a HERO [...]
