News & Notes

By: Cesar | Comments 11 Comments

Now that there’s nothing left to play for, what is there to say? Post random pics, like the one on the left? Count the players who have left our team and done nothing? (Carew, Mendieta, Farinos, Piojo … be warned, Villa.)
It’s not quite Hotstove season yet (Hotstove is a baseball-related term, referring to the [...]

Quique Wins … We All Lose

By: Cesar | Comments 3 Comments

After my tirade yesterday, Real Madrid rag and supposed Spanish sports daily AS is reporting today that Valencia president Juan Soler will confirm coach Quique Sanchez Flores for next season. UGGH!!!
Tribalfootball.com is also reporting that should Flores stay, sporting director Amedeo Carboni is gone. That’s good news but Flores staying? Uggh …
But wait, there’s [...]

Quique Vete Ya (Quique, Leave!)

By: Cesar | Comments 2 Comments

I’m disappointed in my team.
After Saturday’s crushing 3-2 loss to state rivals Villarreal, Valencia is sin opciones (without options) of winning the Spanish title.
It’s over.
We’re out of the race.

Villarreal and a Champions League Rant

By: Cesar | Comments 3 Comments

My heart dropped during last year’s Champions League semi-finals when Villarreal’s Juan Román Riquelme’s last-minute penalty was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Jehn Lehmann.
It’s not because I’m a big fan of our state rivals, known as El Submarino Amarillo or “The Yellow Submarine” in English. Nor is it because I’m fond of their stars, players [...]

Short But Sweet and a Finals Prediction

By: Cesar | Comments 2 Comments

This one’s a quickie as I am swamped at work.
I didn’t get to see Valencia’s stunning 1-0 victory over Real Mallorca on the weekend.
Impressive goal by Joaquin but even more impressive back-heel by little-used winger Jorge Lopez (watch the goal HERE!!!) gives the victory to the Men in White (I really like this season’s [...]

Four Games to Go …

By: Cesar | Comments 1 Comment

Four games to go, four points to make up, two derbies awaiting … there’s everything to play for …
This week, it’s Real Mallorca in Son Moix.
Since losing to Barcelona, Mallorca have been on a tear, winning four in a row to move up to 11th in Spain.
They’re not far from an Intertoto place, so [...]

UEFA Cup Final and our old Valencianos

By: Cesar | Comments 4 Comments

A wonderful game of football was played today at Hampden Park, Scotland.
The UEFA Cup Final and although this blog is about Valencia, this game served as a wonderful advertisement for Spanish football …
Emotional. Gripping. Exciting. Sad. Courageous. Just some words that can describe the ebb and flow of the game. Sevilla had it, then [...]

NO ES UN SUEÑO (It’s Not a Dream!)

By: Cesar | Comments 10 Comments

Why not? Why can’t we win the league?
It’s not impossible … 4 points back with 4 to play …
Is it crazy to think we have a chance, a shot to win this league?
A league where no club has shown consistency?
Where the champions can’t hold a 3-goal lead to a mid-table club?
Where the [...]

Another Week …

By: Cesar | Comments 9 Comments

And another win by our boys, courtesy of goals by the superb David Silva and defender Emiliano Moretti (where’d that come from)? 2-0 over Real Zaragoza and our faint title hopes are still very much alive. The win also all but guarantees our appearance in next season’s Champions League. It would take a monumental collapse [...]

Pablito Aimar

By: Cesar | Comments 17 Comments

This week sees the return of old friend and former Che Pablo Aimar.
It’s his first visit to the Mestalla since his summer transfer and it’ll be strange to see Pablito strutting his stuff in Zaragoza’s shirt.
Many will be reminded of his impressive passing, his dazzling footwork and his crafty ability to find the goal.
Others will [...]
