Beyond Frustrated …

By: Cesar | Comments 12 Comments

I’m beyond frustrated after watching yesterday’s 3-0 thrashing of Valencia by Real Mallorca …

Words can’t express the elation I’ve felt since Thursday over Valencia’s 3-2 victory over Barcelona in the Cup semifinal …
With the win, Los Che advance to the Copa Del Rey final, April 16th against Getafe.

Today’s La Nit de Foc, the annual Night of Fire that concludes Valencia’s grand Fallas festival.
Along with the burning down of the huge papier-mâché figures around the city, known as La Cremà, the two events constitute the last acts of the Fallas festival.

It’s getting bad … again …
I don’t have the heart to write a detailed, blow-by-blow account of yesterday’s humiliating 2-1 defeat to Sevilla at the Mestalla.

By: Cesar | Comments 19 Comments

Life once again edged ahead of blogging, getting in the way of my literary regurgitations.
But I’m back and as I can read, I’ve been missed! Always a nice thing …
