A Valencia New Year

By: Cesar | Comments 23 Comments

A New Year beckons for all of us in a few hours … and let’s hope it’s not too much like 2008 for Our Beloved club.
Sure, we won the Copa Del Rey. Spain won Euro 2008. But who here wouldn’t rather be playing in the Champions League? I’d trade both of those in [...]

Welcome, Dag Alexander Olsen

By: Cesar | Comments 26 Comments

So who is Dag Alexander Olsen?
I’m not sure. But here’s what I can gather from my (hopefully) new Facebook friend.
According to the ever-so-wonderful Goal.com (hey, it’s a New Year in a few hours … might as well give them another chance. Eh? Oh … ), Dag’s being signed by Our Beloved from Tottenham Hotspur. [...]

€185 million on 33 Players Since 2004 = UGGH!!

By: Cesar | Comments 39 Comments

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and didn’t stuff themselves too much.
I feel like I’ve gained enough weight to be confused with ex-Real Madrid striker Ronaldo … time to get back to the gym, me thinks.
Also time to see what Valencia CF has been up to. They return to practice tomorrow and let’s [...]

Pre-Xmas Eve Valencia Tidbits

By: Cesar | Comments 23 Comments

So what do you want under your Valencia Xmas tree this year?
A Top 4 finish?
A striker to play behind David Villa?
A creative midfielder?
That all-elusive central defender in the Roberto Ayala mold?
How about all of the above?
Ok, maybe I’m asking for too much.
As we approach the Big Retail Holiday otherwise known as [...]

A Tough One to Swallow …

By: Cesar | Comments 27 Comments

All I wanted for Christmas was a Valencia victory at the Bernabeu against heated rival Real Madrid.
Instead, I got a loss and a bad stomach ache …
But better times are ahead, my friends. We’re not where we want to be. But we’re not far either.

Real Madrid and Euro Vase Opponents

By: Cesar | Comments 90 Comments

So here we are, two weeks after the debacle at the Nou Camp, facing one of our arch-rivals: Real Madrid.
While I’m not exactly AntiMadridista, as the shirt in the photo says, I can understand Valencia fan’s feelings towards the capital’s club. Constant media attention, the biggest stars, the 2000 Champions League final, Mijatovic, Mendieta and [...]

Wake Me Up When It’s Over

By: Cesar | Comments 94 Comments

Our Beloved Valencia CF travel to France tomorrow to face off against St. Etienne in the final match in Group G of the UEFA Cup (Euro Vase).
Etienne are currently in first place in the group, two points above Los Che.
And … I’m too bored to write more about this match.
I know, I know. [...]

Rufete Helps Out Valencia Again

By: Cesar | Comments 47 Comments

Nice to see old friend Rufete helping out his former club Valencia … even though he’s now an Espanyol player.
Evidently, Rufete’s heart still bleeds orange.
Espanyol took a shock lead just before the half-hour mark of yesterday’s matchup at the Mestalla, Ramon Martinez capitalizing on a sloppy pass out of defense by David Albelda. [...]

Welcome Back Davey and El Clasico

By: Cesar | Comments 53 Comments

Short one today.
First off, we face Espanyol, the other Barcelona side.
Game’s at 2pm EST and it’s the appetizer to the Big Show, El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Here’s Goal.com’s preview and while I probably shouldn’t read their site given the flak I give them, I’ve never been called consistent, so there [...]
