A Cup We Sorely Need

By: Cesar | Comments 15 Comments

Lots to say today.
First off, we really need a victory tomorrow against Atletico Madrid. I’ll be at my local to cheer the lads on. If you’re around, please make sure to come.
This is a tide shifting match. Should we lose, I can honestly see the morale sinking even more, the play bottoming out [...]

Lost in the Desert

By: Cesar | Comments 20 Comments

We’re in trouble. Serious trouble.
I didn’t watch the match, but caught the last half commentary online.
Wow. This isn’t good.
We haven’t won a league game in nine matches, since November 10th.
We haven’t scored in 4 home matches, equaling our worst streak since 1993-94.
We’re in serious trouble. 11th place. Still 5 points from the [...]

Koeman: We Need Wins

By: Cesar | Comments 9 Comments

Coach Ronald Koeman seems to think a winning streak in La Liga might catapult us into Champions League contention for next season … You think?? Sorry for being so condescending, but this has been such a long, frustrating season. It’s hard to know what to think about this squad from week to week anymore.
Here’s [...]

Koeman v. Quique

By: Cesar | Comments 4 Comments

Former coach Quique Sanchez Flores did well in the 6 games after the devastating 3-0 loss to Villarreal to open the season.
Recreativo-Valencia 0-1
Valencia-Getafe 2-1
Betis-Valencia 1-2
Schalke 04-Valencia 0-1
Valencia-Valladolid 2-1
Almería-Valencia 1-2
Now if you remember those matches, we didn’t play so hot in [...]

Copa Del Rey Reactions

By: Cesar | Comments 2 Comments

Not bad last night against Atletico Madrid …
Watched the match after work on a one hour delay although I knew the score at halftime (any one else have that problem? You know you’re going to watch a match later in the day but as it’s going on, you just *HAVE* to check the score [...]

New York-USA Che

By: Cesar | Comments 16 Comments

Since I don’t feel like writing about the club itself today, I thought I’d start lobbying again for ‘New York Che’, the Valencia CF penya (supporters club) I’ve wanted to start for some time now. It could be NY Che or USA Che … whichever one you think. Either way, I’d like to start this. [...]

Relegation

By: Cesar | Comments 6 Comments

Relegation.
One of the dirtiest words in football. Any fan worth his weight in ale hates the word, despises it, tries to run away from it as fast as he can …
Valencia are in trouble, as we all know. But this much trouble? The R word?
No, couldn’t be.
But take a look at the [...]

Can Things Get Any Worse Than This?

By: Cesar | Comments 10 Comments

I dunno, can things get any worse?
Valencia look an awful mess and I’m not in the right frame of mind to extol positive virtues about Ronald Koeman’s outfit anymore.
We stink. That’s reality.
I’m a frustrated fan and that’s about all I can be until we turn this mess around. Many have called me [...]

What Can I Say?

By: Cesar | Comments 7 Comments

This one’s brief.
There’s SO much anger inside of me over this loss, a 3-0 drubbing to state rivals Villarreal.
But what good will it do me to rant again over our defensive failings, our lack of motivation, our lack of desire?
I’ve said it all, people.
I’m tired of watching this team that used to [...]

Maduro. Our New Albelda.

By: Cesar | Comments 19 Comments

I wish I had more time to write, so here’s my ‘Lazy Man’s Approach to Blogging’.
Basically, I tell you the breaking news: Ajax midfielder Hedwiges Maduro has signed for Valencia.
Then, I copy and paste Reuters article about the signing … complete with my own comments: ‘Ajax midfielder Hedwiges Maduro has arrived in Spain [...]
