Valencia 1 Barca 1 Reactions

After the game ended 1-1 with Barca’s last-second goal in last night’s 1st-leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinals, I admit to feeling gutted.
I hurt. I was in emotional pain.
Around me, Barcelona fans were going nuts, jumping up and down, hi-fiving each other. The feeling was reminiscent of the pain I felt after [...]

Soler Stays, Cañizares to Sue, Albelda to Spurs?
By: Cesar | 20 Comments
So I was wrong about president Juan Soler leaving.
How can you blame me, though?
Every news outlet in Spain reported that the administrative board of the club was meeting to discuss Soler’s resignation. But it didn’t happen. Instead, we got the announcement of this incredibly cheesy ad for Estrella Damm beer featuring such stars as [...]
Required Reading: Phil Ball

No word yet if Juan Soler has left his post as Valencia CF president. When I find out, I’ll post my opinions.
For now, I pass the baton to Phil Ball, preeminent Spanish soccer journalist for ESPN’s Soccernet.com. Read his musings on our beloved club here or read what he has to say about us [...]
Juan Soler to Leave Today?
By: Cesar | 2 Comments
If we’re to believe Spanish bird cage liner MARCA, also known as ‘Real Madrid Daily’, Juan Soler could leave his position as club president as early as today.
As much as I want him to leave (and I do), if it’s for health-related reasons I’d be pretty sad. Apparently Soler’s very sick and that’s why he’s [...]
Another Draw …

I’m loving some of the lively debates going on in the ‘Comments’ section of the blog.
Thanks to all for the interesting, emotional comments … please keep them coming.
On to the Mestalla, where Valencia faced a struggling Recreativo in their supposed push towards 4th place and next season’s Champions League.
1-1 and a point. But [...]
Update on the David Albelda Calamity
By: Cesar | 16 Comments
Read my previous post from today to see what I think of this ridiculous chapter in Valencia CF history …
This, the latest from the news wires (ok, goal.com …) about the just-finished David Albelda court case …
So the judge basically told the two sides to come to an agreement. He’ll deliberate the facts [...]
A Black Day for our Club
By: Cesar | 6 Comments
I don’t want to say too much about the court case ripping our club apart. It’s just disgusting to me.
But for those that don’t know, former captain David Albelda and Valencia CF are in court today to resolve the dispute over coach Ronald Koeman’s decision to sideline him for the rest of the season.
Albelda [...]
The Dog Days of Football

Life took precedence the past few days so I’ve been away from the computer screen. Glad to be back, although I admit to being a bit melancholy.
You see, this is supposed to be the best time of the season to be a fan. It’s Champions League knockout round time, when the best of the [...]
Champions League, Here We Come!!
By: Cesar | 20 Comments
I’m not one to issue declarations (or at least, not anymore) but the last few games have me thinking we might … *MIGHT* be back to a version of our winning ways.
I’ve said that before and been laughed at, no?
Well, this time I’m serious. I think we could go on a roll here [...]
A Fork in the Road

Looks like the winning ways are back at the Mestalla, courtesy of a 3-1 victory against Real Betis.
That’s our first victory at home since late November and it’s about time. Who would have thunk at the beginning of the season that it would take THIS LONG for us to win a game at the [...]
