The Worst News Valencia Fans Could Hear …

By: Cesar | Comments 26 Comments

There’s a bevy of news out there regarding our beloved ahead of tonight’s dull 2-1 Liverpool win over Chelsea in a competition we only dream of being in.
I could talk about former Koeman assistant José Mari Bakero saying the Trio of Santi Canizares, Angulo and Albelda were frozen out simply for sporting reasons.
Or I [...]

Stranger Than Fiction

By: Cesar | Comments 8 Comments

Relief, at least for one week, came in the form of a 3-0 victory at the hands of 10-man Osasuna at a feisty Mestalla yesterday.
With new coach Voro at the helm, Valencia returned to the old 4-4-2 system that’s worked wonders before.
It paid dividends, as Joaquin, Mata and Villa (penalty) scored against the [...]

Koeman Has Job Offers? WHY?

By: Cesar | Comments 26 Comments

I wrote earlier today about my hopes for this weekend. But this news item jumped out at me and I had to say something about it …
Supposedly, ex-coach Ronald Koeman has a multitude of job offers since being canned by Valencia earlier this week …
Now, Koeman is in the past. And I’ll be [...]

A New Hope

By: Cesar | Comments 7 Comments

In the never-ending saga that is Valencia CF, we now turn our attention back onto the field of play.
This weekend it’s Osasuna, that plucky little team from Pamplona that often causes us trouble.
I’ve long had a fondness for Los Rojillos (The little red ones). One of my good friends is a long time [...]

What a Week It’s Been …

By: Cesar | Comments 19 Comments

What a week, eh?
From the jubilation of a Cup win last Wednesday to the depths of despair, 2 points from relegation and a drop into the abyss of the Segunda.
First, let me say I stand beside many readers of the blog in saying I’m very happy to have Albelda, Angulo and Canizares back, [...]

Update: The Trio MAY Return …

By: Cesar | Comments 39 Comments

According to Superdeporte, the ousted trio of Canizares, Albelda and Angulo WILL be available to new coach Voro should he choose to use them … that means we could see the veteran Che legends as soon as this weekend against Osasuna …
What do you think? We certainly could have used them this weekend, especially [...]

The Trio Won’t Return

By: Cesar | Comments 6 Comments

On the heels of Ronald Koeman’s dismissal as coach of Valencia CF, word that the Valencia board had conditions for the new coach …
The conditions were … Angulo, Canizares and Albelda could NOT return to the club … no matter what …
That’s why Mauricio Pellegrino and Oscar Fernandez said no to the job [...]

2 Points …

By: Cesar | Comments 14 Comments

I’ve been waiting for official word from either the Valencia club website or one of the Spanish rags about Ronald Koeman’s sacking before I wrote a column.
But it’s not forthcoming so here’s what I (and most of you) know:
- Ronald Koeman is out as coach of Valencia. After yesterday’s 5-1 thrashing at the [...]

Cup Tidbits and Relegation Battles

By: Cesar | Comments 51 Comments

So I’m coming down from my high some, still reveling in last night’s victory. But at the same time, I know we have lots of work to do … for example, assuring our passage into next season’s La Liga.
Last night was great fun (so great that my head is pounding from a raging hangover!) [...]

Cup Highlights

By: Cesar | Comments 4 Comments

The idiots at GOL TV decided to cut away *RIGHT* when Valencia were to receive the Copa from King Juan Carlos … What were they thinking??
They’re in the soccer business, no? Aren’t these the special moments we watch soccer for? Why do that to us?
Anyways, below the picture of today’s Superdeporte cover is a [...]
