I'm became a fan of Newell's Old Boys while living in Rosario, Argentina for three years as a kid. My Holy Trinity is Zanabria, Obberti and Santamaria. Missed seeing the team win their first championship by about 6 months. Dale la Lepra!
Personally, I'd much rather be talking about Futbol...
And rather see Messi in Red and Black, rather than pink.

Reviewing posts on FB about the new "Messi" stand name get a bit, forgive the pun, messy.
Many fans would prefer someone that who actual won a title with the club. One went so far as to say the stand named after Maradona was a bad idea as he only played a handful of games with the club.

It's official. The new stand at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa will be called...

Can't say I'm happy about this, for various reasons.
Let's start with two:
Stands/stadiums should not be named after active players, only retired players.
Messi has never played for Newell's senior team. Stands should only be named for players who have actually played for the club.

Anyone familiar with argentinasuperliga.com?
I placed an order from them back in April, contacted them about it a month later and was told they were having problems with the shipping company (FedEx) and every attempt to contact them since has gotten no response.

First up, Facebook sucks...
I try not to post anything via my cell phone, but this morning saw a post about Newell's Old Boys and what they should name the new stand. Signing on to my computer, and can't find it.
Original post suggested Lionel Messi. Understandable, he came from Newell's Youth

*pulls out hair* We don't need more wingers. We need a 9.
ESPN Chile report that Colo-Colo winger Cristián Zavala will sign for Newell's.
The 25-year-old is capped by Chile and has just had his best year at El Cacique.

There's at least one post (all I've seen) on Facebook stating Newell's Old Boys are looking to buy more land. Nothing about what the plan is for the additional acreage.
All the comments add up to: Why are we spending money on land when we don't have the cash for quality players?

Newell's Old Boys (Girls?) secured their first top flight championship with one more match to play by beating Rosario Central 1-0.
In 1974 the men's team also secured their first title in a match against Central.

I saw a post on FB today in a Newell's group dreaming of a lineup including Navas, Banega and Lionel Messi.
We're 2/3 the way there, but at this point I just don't see Messi joining anytime soon, if ever.
Please prove me wrong, Leo.

This, after only being promoted to the top level a while back. They're also doing quite well in the league standings, though the season only recently started. 19 pts from 8 games, only a point behind Belgrando, who have played 9.
CHAMPIONS 🏆
Just like our men's team did in 1991, the Newell's Women won the Federal Championship today against Boca Juniors on penalties.
A first title for our women's team, which didn't even exist a few years ago.
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🖤

While I've very happy with Argentina beating Brazil 4-1, I'm a bit concerned with their being on top of the WC Qualifying table for the region.
Why? Because teams that are on top of CONMEBOL in qualifiers often do not do so well during the actual World Cup.

Saw a post on Facebook mentioning Astore adding seat to Estadio Marcelo Bielsa in the space of 3 years after 20 years of nothing being done.
What he forgets is that the players on the pitch are the foundation of the team. During those same 3 years, what has he done for the team?

While working from home, I have had some of the matches from the Newells Cup on YouTube (basically, any time I notice Newell's playing.)
So far, these young kids are playing with more passion and determination than I've seen from the senior squad in years.
And, every game I've had on? Newell's win
