And just like that, the season ends.
Today’s it’s the 38th and final match of the season, a home game against Athletic Bilbao.

Memorial Day Blues

By: Cesar | Comments 98 Comments

Today’s Memorial Day in the United States, a day which commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in military service.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
But being the Offside’s Valencia CF blogger, it’s my duty.
Take a seat. Take a deep breath.

Out of Our Hands

By: Cesar | Comments 59 Comments

And just like that, the joy evaporates, in the snap of our fingers.
Atletico Madrid’s controversial 1-0 victory over our Valencia CF further compounded a recurrent theme this season: we’re horribly inconsistent.
