Looks like our mini-crisis has passed.
Maybe Franky, the poster from Chicago had it right all along.
Valencia looked good again yesterday, defeating Getafe 2-1 at the Mestalla.
But before we go crowning our boys World Heavyweight Champions, let’s see who we’ve beaten:
- Real Betis, 18th in the league with 2 points from 5 games.
- Getafe, [...]

Nights Out in Valencia
By: Cesar | 6 Comments
I lived in Valencia for some time.
For those who haven’t been, it’s a wonderful place, full of energy, an emerging cultural center packed with wonderful architecture.
It’s a city known for many things.
Oranges.
Nice beaches.
Paella.
Great weather.
The aquarium.
One other thing it’s famous for around the world is its entertaining nightlife.
I spent many an [...]
A Little Forgiveness
By: Cesar | 6 Comments
I admit to not being the most consistent blogger on the Offside.
For one, I have a day job.
Two, I have other things that take up my time, like living, eating and watching football.
Unfortunately, this weekend was one of those where life (and the occasional meal) intervened and didn’t allow me to watch football. Hence, [...]
The Special One

It’s quite simple, really.
Fire Quique Sanchez Flores.
Hire ‘The Special One’, Jose Mourinho.
I can end the blog post there, but I’ll go on.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave the past few hours, I’m sure you’re aware Jose Mourinho quit his post as gaffer at Chelsea.
I didn’t watch the Champions League encounter between [...]

I’m not going to write too detailed a preview of the Schalke 04 match at the Arena AufSchalke, Gelsenkirchen, Germany Tuesday night. For a very detailed analysis of the game, please go here.
What I will say is that this match is about as must-win a game as Valencia has had in a while.
They [...]
So What Should I Write About?
By: Cesar | 8 Comments
So what do you think I should be writing about today?
The three points we ‘earned’ at the hands of Valladolid? The graceful, stylish play our club is showing? The tacticul genius of our coach, Quique Sanchez Flores?
I might be overreacting here. But this game is testament to what I and other readers here [...]
Onward

I haven’t had much to say the past few days. I’ve been consumed by work and other matters and didn’t feel a need to continue my whine-fest over Quique Sanchez Flores and his coaching acumen.
Besides, Valencia haven’t played in about two weeks, with internationals taking center stage.
Regardless, Valencia’s back on the field tomorrow [...]
Crisis?
By: Cesar | 33 Comments
Spanish birdcage liner MARCA had a great way of emphasising every Real Madrid loss back in the Galactico days.
CRISIS!, the headline would scream! People would buy the gossip rag to read about the most recent loss, agonize over the startling way this array of talent could screw it up week in, week out.
Problem [...]
No Confidence

Who here has confidence in the current leadership at Valencia? Raise your hands … where are you?
What’s Become of My Favorite Club?
By: Cesar | 6 Comments
I’m keeping this short and sweet as we’re in the middle of a federal holiday here in the United States. It’s a rare day I get off, so I’m leaving to enjoy the sun and fun.
Because of the holiday and because they refused to show the Almeria-Valencia game in the States, I wasn’t able [...]
