Living La Tacita Loca

The curtain finally comes down on this calamitous season with another performance to forget. We try not to focus too much on the game but obviously talk about Álex Fernández as he scores in his final ever game for Cádiz. The final results of our prediction league and player of the season are in and probably not too much of a surprise! All that plus the usual news round up and more.

An unexpected and slightly lucky point in Castellon helps Cádiz to another small step towards safety. Pelayo comes in from the cold to become the hero as he scores the goal and puts in a great defensive performance. Matt is back to help digest all that went on and look forward to the now crucial final home again against Leganés on Sunday evening and as always we have the predictions (Mark is the champion!), man of the match and all...

With Matt away it's a different episode this week, Mark quickly runs down another loss at home to Deportivo and then has a chat with friend of the pod and La Liga World feed commentator Paul Giblin. Paul commentated on the game so there is some talk of that and Cadiz's season in general as well as lots of talk about working on Spanish football and much more.

Just when you thought Cádiz had pulled themselves virtually safe, they manage to revert to type and throw away 2 points. All Antoñito's good work undone by some of the worst defending and decision making we've seen this season (and that is quite an achievement). We discuss all the key moments and more importantly if this team is capable of clinging onto safety in the Segunda Division. As always we round up all the other news around...

Cádiz finally show some fight under Imanol Idiakez, the new manager, but once again it leads to nothing. With only 5 games to go, the surprise is that we are not already in the relegation zone. We do manage to find some small positives in the 2-1 loss to a very good Las Palmas side but is it too little too late? As always, we preview an all or nothing trip to León, and all other usual features. Don't forget to get in touch here: Li...

Its Groundhog day again as Cadiz lose, again. This week's pod is more of a therapy session as we try and come to terms with an increasingly likely relegation. Could we have a third manager this season? Would it make any difference? We also  look ahead at Monday night's visit of Las Palmas and the six other remaining games. **Now including last minute Sergio update**

We're running out ways to describe the continuos losses but here we are again. A seventh consecutive home defeat, Cádiz's worst ever season, but maybe, just maybe we finally saw something positive, something that might just keep us out of the relegation battle. That something is a 37 year old Lucas Pérez. Who hasn't played for over a year but did more in a 35 minute cameo than quite a few of the squad have done all season. Can we b...

Matt is back but it doesn't mean a change in luck for Cádiz as they fall to a sixth consecutive home loss against Córdoba. Is this team capable of survival or are we doomed to our Primera RFEF fate? Why has it all gone so wrong and is it as surprising as we thought a while ago? All this plus the usual news and look ahead to a tricky tie on Sunday against Andorra Don't forget to get in touch here: LivingLaTacitaLoca@gmail.com X - @T...

A really poor loss in Africa against Ceuta is followed by an even more disappointing loss in Valladolid. Where do we go from here? Well Primera RFEF looks like the most likely destination for this team which has shown, once again that it is not good enough. Mark relives the Ceuta game and there's a last minute update after the game on Tuesday night which is as depressing as you might imagine! Don't forget to get in touch here: Livi...

One step forward, two steps backwards as Cádiz put on one of their worst performances of the season against high flying Málaga. The same old defensive mistakes and total lack of any attacking threat were back with a vengeance as if the change of manager hadn't happened. With Matt away, its a slightly shorter pod this week but we recorded some audio after the game and Mark runs down all the rest of the details and news around the cl...

Sergio González is back in the dugout and he brings us a first win since early January. Two early goals from rejuvenated looking Brian Ocampo and Yussi Diarra were enough for Cádiz to hold off Mirandés. We made hard work of it in the second half but the defence held strong, boosted by a return to action of the Serbian Wall, Bojan Kovacevic. We look back at the game, some of Sergio's early decisions and all the rest of the action an...

Another awful game, losing at home to the bottom club Zaragoza meant the end of Gaizka Garitano's time in charge of Cádiz. We try and avoid talking about the game and concentrate on the change and what it will mean to the team. Sergio González comes in for his 2nd spell in charge and has a lot of work to turn the dressing room around and avoid slipping further into trouble. All of that and more after a dramatic weekend as well as a...

An absolute disaster-class in the Basque country as Cádiz lose 3-1 to Eibar and continue their awful run. With Matt away (hiding from how bad Cádiz are?) it's a slightly different podcast this week but he has sent in lots of audio for us to react to. We talk about Garitano, how much longer can he stay in the job, is this our true level and whether this squad really is as good as some thought. All this plus the customary look ahead ...

An another abject Cádiz performance, going down 2-0 to the youngest side in the league was the catalyst for all the pent up frustration to finally explode. This felt like the complete rupture of any sort of connection between the fans and the manager, his days are now surely numbered despite many of the problems not really being his fault. We try and decipher what happened and where we go from here as well as trying to be positive ...

Cádiz came away from El Plantío with a valuable point in a game where they deserved absolutely nothing. Sometimes you just need something to go your way and this could be a turning point. We talk about Dawda's goal and that was about it in terms of positives for Cádiz! Lots of more worrying things to consider such as Garitano's tactics, the midfield, the defence etc etc. Real Sociedad B come to the Nuevo Mirandilla on Monday night ...

When it rains it pours. A postponed game finally got underway a day later but Cádiz couldn't break the losing habit. Despite creating a lot of chances we struggled to find the back of net and Almería were clinical when they had to be to take all 3 points back across Andalucía. As well as looking at all the details from the game, we look ahead to a trip to Burgos and all the other news around the club including a new signing! Don't ...

A very disappointing loss in Huesca has opened up some old and some new wounds in this Cádiz team and it wasn't just on the pitch where the headlines were being made this week. We cover all the goings on from the arrival of Sergio Arribas on Thursday, Gaizka Garitano's very strong words in the pre-match press conference and onto the actual game on Sunday night. As always, we try and predict what the outcome will be this coming Satu...

Cádiz were unable to stop the rot as Granada came to town on a miserable wintery Saturday night. Despite hitting the post 4 (yes four) times, the team found new ways to shoot themselves in the foot and we discuss all of them including Victor Aznar's two significant errors. Matt gives us his Huesca miscellaneous info as we look forward to a must win game next week and we round up all the other news around the club including Mirandil...
