Before i begin my update i would like to offer my deepest sympathies to the family, friends and team-mates of Espanyol club captain Daniel Jarque who died after he suffered a heart attack following a training session yesterday. My thoughts are with them at this sad time.
Moving onto the title of this update only a couple of weeks ago hardly any Real Sociedad supporters would have heard of Antoine Griezmann since he was in the youth set up and yet to even make the step up to Sanse however with 4 goals in 2 pre-season friendlies he is the talk of San Sebastian.

Regular followers of Real Sociedad news will be familiar with the ritual of me taking a few days to update a match after Real Sociedad have suffered a defeat but the fact its now Thursday reflects the pain i felt after the thrashing Rayo dealt out.

Real Sociedad will head into the final month of the season with a glimmer of hope for promotion after a very impressive win over Salamanca in a game where the winning margin should have been higher. An Imanol Agirretxe goal on 35 minutes was enough to win the game but unfortunately Zaragoza won again which means we are still hoping for a miracle. Click to continue reading...

Turkish striker Necati Ates spoke to the press yesterday and spoke of his relief at finally finding the back of the net for Real Sociedad but admitted he wasn't happy the goal only resulted in a draw. He said he was very grateful to the fans for the support they provide. Necati has had a long wait to get his goal after being a prolific goalscorer for Galatasaray but his hard work has finally paid off and hopefully it can be the spark for more.

Real Sociedad could only manage a goalless draw this evening at home to Elche as the the Elche goalkeeper pulled off some fantastic saves, especially in the second half. Agirretxe missed a glorious chance to score when he missed a first half penalty.
The first half was dominated by Real Sociedad and Elche only threatened on the counter attack with Bravo rarely threatened. Click to continue reading...

Real Sociedad produced a highly polished performance to defeat ten man Levante two goals to nil with goals in either half from on form striker Imanol Agirretxe and Xabi Prieto.
The match started much like last weeks game with Real Sociedad in complete control from the whistle. After ten minutes Agirretxe almost gave the visitors the lead with a header but the effort was cleared off the goal-line. Click to continue reading...

Imanol Agirretxe has admitted he is "very pleased" with the recent confidence shown in him by Coach Lillo. Agirretxe hasn't had the best of times and nearly 4 years after he made his debut for the first team, its only now that he is getting more action after constantly being overlooked by previous managers.
