Living La Tacita Loca

A point in Tenerife and some positive feelings. Celades should still be in a job by the time you read this (this is a bold thing to write) after a decent performance just sullied by conceding a comical goal (again!). Why was David Gil playing? Will he ever start again? Can Javi Castro get to half time without getting a yellow? All that and lots more including Matt getting another prediction correc...

Is that a tiny ray of hope at the end of the tunnel or the redundancy express hurtling in Albert Celades' direction? Cádiz just cant buy a win but at least there were signs of life on Saturday. The second half performance probably the best 45 minutes of football we have seen in 2026 but still ending in defeat. Girona have a squad far too good for segunda and it showed as they put away their chance...

Another disappointing home display produces an unsurprising loss to Las Palmas. We got the formation we wanted but the performance was just as bad, if not worse, than normal. Where do we go from here? Celades already looks on borrowed time, is it possible to have three preseasons in one season? As always we preview the upcoming home game with Girona and round up the news around the club Don't forg...

Cádiz concede 3 in the first half in a disastrous 45 minutes and while looking much more solid in the second half thanks to some changes on the right side, it wasn't enough to stop a first defeat of the season. What was the formation? Are we still in pre-season? Why am I writing this at 3am? All that and more including a run down of the huge squad changes now the transfer window is shut and a prev...

Another draw and another disappointing performance but Cádiz remain unbeaten. Lots to talk about this week and even Matt's builders got involved on topics such as why are we playing a completely new formation with the two standout players from the last two games on the bench and if Joaquin is the answer, what is the question? As well as the game we try and cover all the transfer news, although rec...

Cádiz remain unbeaten as we scrambled our way to a 2-2 draw in Elda. A first half that brought back memories of the worst bits of last year was a worrying start but Celades made some decent changes and we got ourselves back into the game. We talk about all that went on, including that Olympico goal plus everything else around the club this week, which, as always, is a lot. 3 new signings and a pla...

Some sort of normality returned, with a game of football, after the tumultuous week Cádiz have had. Albert Celades had 4 days to prepare for the arrival of Celta Vigo's B team and to be honest, he did a pretty good job. There were lots of good things to take away from the performance despite only gaining a point. We try and cover all of it as well as trying to make sense of what happened after rec...

The season preview is here! And it starts in a completely different tone to how it ends. Yes, in the middle of recording, Cádiz decided to sack Imanol Idiakez, the manager, throwing the whole pre-season and more importantly the podcast into total disarray! Pre sacking we talk about the change of president and the transfer ins and outs before making our post sacking predictions for both Cádiz and t...

Join us to look back at one of the worst season's of football ever. A historically bad performance from Cádiz that somehow didn't get us relegated. We run through the games, the managers, the losses and lots more so we never have to talk about it again! There's a look back at out predictions from the preview pod and as always we do try and find some positives amongst all the negative. Thanks to ev...

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. Don't forget to...

Salvation! Finally! Cádiz manage to drag themselves over the line to safety with one game remaining much to relief of the record crowd in attendance. Three goals and a clean sheet, what was everyone worried about? We discuss all that went on Sunday as well as all the other usual features and look forward to the now stress free trip to Cantabria. Ese Cádiz OE!!! 

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 c...

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. Don't forget to get in touch here: Livi...

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...

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. Do...

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** Don't forget to get in touch he...

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 s...

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:...

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'...

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...

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 decision...

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 af...

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...

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 her...

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 th...
