‘One More Time’ sang Daft Punk back when I was a scrawny young lad at Uni. Fast forward to 2023 and for one more Saturday we’ll pay a visit to our latin lovers.

There’s been many a big name signed that has flattered to deceive and many an unknown starlet lighting up St James Park. So after nearly 9 full seasons of fun and frolics, the trophy cabinet shows:

2 x Premier League Titles, 3 FA Cups, 1 Charity Shield and 1 Uefa Cup.

It should be more really, we’ve been runners up in the league once, the Champions League once and the league cup once. Twice in the Charity Shield and once in the Cup Winners Cup.

Happy weekend readers, lets get you into the Saturday spirit by visiting Rio de Tyneside.

We’re not doing too well in the league, and we’re out of the League Cup, but we have eyes on european progress. We may live to rue that Badriano penalty miss.

Hello and happy Saturday morning to you. Dave kindly gave me the week off last time, as I was visiting Cardiff and reminiscing about the time I watched Wales versus Argentina in a friendly at the Millenium Stadium. Veron played in that game and was immense. In my Newcastle team, he’s less so. Having said that, we do start Season 9 as English Champions, so he must be doing ok.

To try and carry on doing better, I sign up Leandro from Sporting Lisbon – this boy has goals in his boots.

Good morning and I’m going to kick off this blog post by wishing our host, Dave Black, a very happy birthday – have a great day and thanks for all your hard work on CM9798 from me and the blog squad.

So, can a latin version of favourite team land cup and league glory in part 24 of this odyssey?

First off, we have to deal with disgruntled strikers – no.

Happy Saturday to you all – we’re deep into Season 8 of our South American revolution on Tyneside and after last seasons near miss with relegation, things have started more brightly thanks to the regen of Gilmar – thanks to my scout @hsoper404 for confirming!

Lets start with a top of the table clash, shall we? Leeds are top, and we’re six points back in third place.

I’ve decided to carry on. After escaping relegation last season, I can’t finish on a low note. Surely I can drag these Latino fools back to glory, right?

It’s not the best of starts and I’m fearing another calamatious season ahead of me.

Hello and welcome to the long weekend, a run of bank holidays has cheered my brain up, but can I engage it enough to steer my South American lummoxes away from relegation a few short seasons after nearly doing the quadruple.

We’re into the business end of the season and things are not rosy at St James Park:

I’m going to put a big flat disclaimer right here – I played through this part of the blog whilst listening to Man Utd lose 3-0 to Sevilla – so pardon any exaspirations as we go forward, thank you.

Hello and welcome back after a little Easter break for our LaToon stars.

Last time out we had a small recovery from a mid-season disaster run and patiently wait to see if finishes 7th in the league sneaks us into european action.

As we’re into Season 7, a lot of my stars are getting to be the wrong side of 30, so in a bid to free up squad space and transfer funds, I sell a few stars…

Diego was a steady peformer, but Cafu was a disappointment.

Happy Saturday you beautiful people. Spring is arriving, so what could be better than checking in with my bunch of Latin Lunatics?

Last time out my boys went through an unfathomable period of shooting ourselves in the foot. Constantly. We crashed out of both domestic cups and only recently started to claw out way back up the table.
