That stadium is why the club was brought to its knees financially in the last few seasons. We started planning to build it in the early 2000's. That's when we were champions and selling out every match. Mestalla holds about 55,000. Now, we're not even filling Mestalla, and there's a 70,000+...
Nope. Retired a few years ago. Was assistant manager at Atlético, but is currently out of a job.
That's quite common in Spain. Vicente Rodríguez known as Vicente, Joaquín Sánchez known as Joaquín... Even Barça's Xavi Hernández is commonly known as just Xavi.
Not many injuries in general. Just a few small ones here and there, but no recurring problems. I do think he would have to be rotated though. Ever since he joined us he has always been rotated.
trueblue - You're right. Was out working all day today and actually missed that. Just seen it in...
The flag of the Valencian Community differs from the Catalan flag in that it has the blue edge. If you're ever in Valencia, make sure not to confuse it with Cataluña. You'd be a very unpopular man, hehe.
And for the banner, "Genios del Fútbol" would be the correct Spanish, and would look a...
No problem. Uhm, Brighton have money, right? Levante are completely broke. They have a net spend of less than €500,000 on transfers over the last 4/5 seasons. They're a side made up of loan deals and has beens. They did manage to top the table for a few weeks though and secure Europa League...
Those days have passed, thankfully. Although they hate Real Madrid, the vast majority of people from other provinces like Cataluña, the Basque Country and Valencia, generally all get behind the national team. I'd be very surprised if a Catalan took offence to the Spanish flag.
Good evening, lads. Just saw this news so I thought I should pop in and give you some information. I have to say that I'm pleased for him. Unfortunately, contrary to what you've heard, Bruno is not a better player than Álvaro Arbeloa. With all due respect (and I like Brighton) I think that...
Yep, that's the one. Thanks for posting it.
Like I said before, I'm thrilled to see another group of fans that appreciate Vicente.
Looks a bit unlikely now I guess, but hope you guys manage to push on to make the playoffs.
Thought you guys might be interested in this. Video I made of Vicente in his prime playing against Barça. Difficult to get old footage. Not his greatest game, but you get the idea. Quality.
Edit - I can't post YouTube links because my post count isn't high enough.
Copy and past "ximovcf...
That was me, hehe. Surprised that the video got such a big reception. Will try to make more if he continues to play so well and if I can get my hands on the footage. Valencia fans love to see how he's doing.
I downloaded the footage, but I'm surprised by the accuracy of your guess. Yep...
