What's this?

Espanyol in financial trouble? They need to bring three millin to table before the start of next week or they get a 6 points fine. Which means they are finding themselves in the relegation zone!

They have failed to make payments due to Bordeaux and Monaco relating to the sales of Riera and Nené respectively, both players were bought from the French clubs with a sell-on clause attached and Español have since sold the players (although Nené has gone back to Monaco so I don't know how they owe them more cash). The current risk of a fine and docked points relates to the Riera transfer and FF claim that if Español don't pay up by the beginning of next week then Fifa will apply a punishment.

To emphasise they're a joke of a club.


Twice a year they turn into professional football players.

I don't get it, Gneg. Does cornella have a catalan meaning?

cornella is outside the barcelona city limits.

before the first derbi, laporta said it was the "derbi del metropolitan" or somethin' like that. coz cornella is still in the barcelona metropolitan area but not the city itself.

I see, doesn't seem that far from the city though, I think its even on the metro system. Its not like they moved to Girona or something.

Now that you mention it the name is spelt wrong also, they spell it with a "y".
