Super Sunday

By: Cesar | Comments 279 Comments

Much has been written of our 2-1 loss to Sevilla in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Thursday.
I’m not going to regurgitate news we’ve all read. What I will add are some of my views …

The Most Important Game

By: Cesar | Comments 283 Comments

Tomorrow’s the second leg of our Copa Del Rey quarterfinal clash against the Andalucian Nightmares, Sevilla FC.
While everyone and their mother agrees finishing in the Top 4 in Spain’s La Liga should be our top goal, it seems the heads of Our Beloved would rather reap the rather minimal rewards of winning the Copa [...]

Another Fiasco …

By: Cesar | Comments 65 Comments

Another week, another game that fills our belly with anxiety and causes the gastric juices to run full boil.
This weekend, it was 19th place Real Mallorca. A 3-1 defeat and what can be said?
For starters, it appears coach Unai Emery’s decision to play a squad of reserves back fired to a degree. Although [...]

Balearic Island Hop

By: Cesar | Comments 347 Comments

Back to the grind this weekend and it’s a hop, skip and jump over the Mediterranean Sea and into the city of Mallorca to meet 19th place Real Mallorca.
This marks the first game of the second half of our schedule, as we played Mallorca in the first game of the season, a 3-0 victory [...]

Cesar Who?

By: Cesar | Comments 38 Comments

Now that the alcohol has left my system, I’m happy to report I’m back in fighting shape, 100% recovered from my DC/Obama escapade and ready to get hammered again this weekend.
First, thanks to everyone for the updates. Too bad I missed one of our better matches of the season against Sevilla in the Copa [...]

So What’d I Miss?

By: Cesar | Comments 53 Comments

I’ll be perfectly honest with you: I have no idea what’s going on with Valencia CF this week.
I’m just back from President Obama’s inauguration in Washington, DC and fresh off summit meetings with Timothy Lakefront concerning the Real Madrid bloggers, etc. that I’ve had no chance to catch up on Our Beloved.
As we [...]

As The Mestalla Turns

While Valencia CF fans worldwide struggle with the fact that President Vicente Soriano may not have the capital needed to maintain power at the club past February 1st, the Valencia Soap Opera continues … the show must go on …

Oh Valencia!

By: Cesar | Comments 97 Comments

Yesterday’s 3-1 Copa Del Rey victory was one of those feel-good wins, a victory against an opponent (Racing Santander) who’s given us fits for seasons now (we hadn’t beaten them in 4 years) and who looked very good against us not only in the Cup but in the league (they beat us at the Mestalla [...]

Being a Fan is Never Easy

By: Cesar | Comments 168 Comments

No one said it would be easy, this Valencia CF supporter thing …
It’s much easier being a fan of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Chelsea. They’re financially solid, they have people in charge of the club with business acumen and they’re consistently in the Champions League.
Valencia? We’re financially adrift, we have guys trying to [...]

The Best Game of the Season

By: Cesar | Comments 78 Comments

Derbies don’t often disappoint. And the Valencian derby between Valencia CF and Villarreal certainly didn’t, in what has to go down as the Best Game in Spain’s La Liga 2008-09.
Talk about a barbed-wire, steel cage match.
This was a barn burner. A good, old-fashioned Pier 6 brawl with the kitchen sink thrown in for good [...]
