A petition had been sent to the Vatican to begin the process of recognizing all Valencia CF fans as saints.

Its to be expected of course seeing how much suffering we are forced to endure week in and week out.

El Barça sigue mandando en la liga tras derrotar al sorprendente Mallorca por 4-2. Los blaugranas no jugaron su mejor partido pero acabaron goleando a los insulares. Faltó ritmo, es como si, como me dijo un gran amigo, jugaran en slow-motion. Pedro (que a este ritmo habrá que llamarle Pedrazo) metió dos goles, uno tras un impresionante pase-taconazo al hueco de Ibracadabra. Click to continue reading...

Barcelona will be expected to take three points from this easy Champions League home game - while Valencia's performance would have given other teams in Spain hope that Barcelona can be beaten, Rubin Kazan aren't in the same class as Valencia and home advantage should nullify any hopes they might have had of causing an upset.

Looking at things from an outside perspective, what you see is this: most of the squad just returned from an exhausting international break, and directly went head to head with a top La Liga team, playing away without two of our star forwards. And we still managed a draw. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Click to continue reading...

The Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez is ready to intensify his interest in Valencia's David Silva, his negotiating position enhanced by the Spanish club's diminishing prospects of selling their other prime asset, David Villa.
Valencia, a club in severe financial crisis, may be forced to reduce their initial £25m demand for Silva, which put Benitez off in May and the manager will be able to offer the entire amount up front if Real Madrid adhere to his own demands that their £30m-plus outlay on Xabi Alonso comes in one upfront payment, as did their £80m to Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo.
