Osasuna like a settling pint of Guinness
By: Shane | March 17th, 2008
Finding time to update this blog, during St.Patrick’s weekend has been hard, me being 1/3 Irish and all. But as I wait for my new pint of Guinness to settle I see no better time that to tell you about the Rojillos.
And settling is exactly what Osasuna are beginning to do in la Liga. Osasuna faced Valladolid this past Sunday in what was a cliché “six pointer” as both teams are doing there best not to flirt with relegation near the bottom of the table. Osasuna claiming this game as one of there remaining four finals that will decide weather Osasuna stays up to fight another day (the other three are, bottle throwing Betis, Getafe and Recreativo).
So Los Rojillos travelled to the Jose Zorrila stadium with around 500 Pamplonicas (pretty decent for an away game in Spain) and hoping for a good result. What resulted was a horrible nil all draw with Valladolid having the better of the first half and probably game but Osasuna being the closest to score with the ever improving Kike Sola. This result helped neither of both sides really but considering it was an away game and Osasuna have been as bad as Chinas treatment of Tibet away from home a point is not at all bad. It allows us some breathing space and allows us to continue this run of good results stability (11 points out of a possible 18 so far).
And although Osasuna lie a mistrusting 12th in the league they are still only two points away from the dreaded zone. Valladolid are now deeply in trouble, saving themselves only by goal difference.
But on the other hand we are only 9 points away from a UEFA cup spot …or have I had one too many pints of Guinness?
Happy St.Patrick’s Day everybody and Aupa Osasuna!
AND HERES SOMETHING TACKY….

Dude, I can’t believe you started an Osasuna blog–that’s so awesome. I was just thinking about starting one when my buddy Cesar, who writes the Valencia blog, told me about this. Anyways, I studied in Pamplona and quickly became an avid Osa fan. So thanks for starting this blog and keep up the good work. Aupa Osasuna!
