Incredibly Short, Incredibly Tedious Valencia Season in Review
By: Cesar | 33 Comments
So I’ve wanted to write this Valencia Season in Review for some weeks now, but one thing or another got in the way. Life has its ways of playing tricks.
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 …
By: Cesar | 25 Comments
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.
‘El Dragon’ faces child abuse charges in a scandal that has seen one [...]
Joaquin Strikes Back!!
By: Cesar | 23 Comments
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 …
“Koeman was a person who looked past people, above their [...]

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
By: Cesar | 17 Comments
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 [...]
Finally Over and New Kits
By: Cesar | 27 Comments
So what do you think?
These are supposedly the new kits we’ll be wearing in next season’s La Liga and UEFA Cup competitions … not too bad, eh?
I didn’t get this season’s kit and for good reasons … why would I want a kit that’ll remind me of one of the worst seasons in [...]
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 [...]
Safety
By: Cesar | 44 Comments
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 [...]
