I’m not going to dwell too long on the events of Sunday’s crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the 2nd leg of the Spanish Supercopa.
It would have been nice to win the trophy, but let’s be honest with ourselves: It’s a glorified friendly.
I know, I know. A lot of you out there will [...]

Being a Valencia fan isn’t easy.
We’ve all known that for some time now, since the good ol’ days when QQ Sanchez Flores and Amedeo Carboni feuded over everything from transfers to who’d sit next to Juan Soler at official dinners.

The endless transfer rumors do my head in. Honestly, haven’t they gotten out of hand the past few years? From Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham’s hilarious annoyance of a few years ago to Cristiano Ronaldo’s supposed slavery this summer, haven’t we had enough? (Common thread here? Real Madrid … hmm …)
