But here it is. For what it’s worth, this will be my last post on the Valencia blog for a month or so. Please follow [...]

It Never Ends …

Just when I think I can put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and type an ‘End of Season’ post, something comes up to pull me away …
Today, it’s bad news about my favorite player and now ex-Valencia ‘keeper Santiago Canizares.

I’m honestly trying to write a season review post.
I swear I am!
It’s just that Valencia keeps providing us with news that so succulent, I can’t ignore it …
Today, Joaquin answered Ronald Koeman’s critiques from yesterday … and boy, did he ever …

So before we get to the season in review post where we look back at our dreadful campaign, let’s hear once more from our old ‘friend’ Ronald Koeman, known affectionately as ‘TinTin’ …

The Season Ends

And so it ends.
The 2007-2008 campaign is finally over. The season of QQ Flores, Koeman, Champions League failure, the fired Trio, the Copa Del Rey, near-relegation and now, as you can see from the picture, the squad’s snubbing of the fans during yesterday’s Copa celebrations ends … thankfully!!!
What a year it’s been.
I’ll [...]

Relief

Ahh, sweet glorious relief … how wonderful it is!
The weight of the world has been lifted off our shoulders.
The birds are chirping. The sun is shining. The flowers smell wonderful and the effervescent coffee in the next room beckons us to enjoy the day …
Ok, it’s really cold, windy and rainy here in [...]

I’m keeping this one short as I battle a torrid head cold that just won’t go away … the players better not catch anything either, as evidenced by the picture above which shows Marchena and Villa enjoying the wet conditions at Paterna.
They’re needed. Me? Not so much, as the great comments on the site [...]
Random Thoughts Before Today’s ‘Game of the Year’
By: Cesar | 47 Comments
Valencia v. Real Zaragoza.
Game of the Year.
How many times have I said that?
(Look at that scrumptious paella. Since footie pics haven’t been working, I figured I’d change it up and show you Valencia’s 2nd best contribution to the world, besides Valencia CF … It’s a good luck paella!!)
But think about the [...]
