Lets all have a Xisco....

Xisco "on his bike"= leaving? ...or staying?
Interesting article from our home town newspaper, the "Newcastle Evening Chronicle", about Newcastle United's Spanish player Xisco.

Xisco hasn't had a very good time in Newcastle but last night he scored a hat-trick for their reserve team (B-team).

Hopefully he will get a second chance?

All of us at El Centro de Ingles hopes that it works out well for him (salir bien - para el).

Xisco article (Newcastle Evening chronicle), it's on 2 pages

Some idioms etc. that are used in the article:

Lift the lid = Destapar algo...
Toon Colours = La camiseta de Newcastle
Soaking conditions = condiciones de remojo/mucho lluvia
a host of = mucho/tanto
give up - dejar/a rendisre (phrasal verb)
"hasn't worked out for me" = no salir bien (phrasal verb)
Standing ovation = ovaciĆ³n de pie
World away  = mundo de distancia
