watching the very end of the :poop: and RM match… wow… pretty hard to deny how far behind our quality is. :poop: could/should’ve won it at the end with Isco putting a shot off the post and another chance barely tipped over the bar. they played decisively, moved the ball well, were brave.
depressing days.
What a first half of football by Girona and Barca. Great advert for la liga. I’d give my right arm for us to play like Girona right now. What a breath of fresh air they been as amazing in attack and counters.
History made for Girona as they beat Barca for first team. Amazing effort from them and back top! Fair play to them.
What a win and what a story!
Serious title contenders you’d have to say now.
Well done Girona.
Until RM comes and totally annihilates them like they did a couple of weeks ago.
No one except Atletico (prime or when they’re really into it) stand a chance against the big two nowadays. It’s just that opponents are not taking Girona seriously most of the time.
I still root for them (fingers crossed for a fairytale) but they’re far from being serious title contenders, still a long way to go in the season.
i do think real madrid will end up at the top with a huge gap by the end of the season.
its still insane that girona is even making it to the champions league. michel has done something seriously special with this team and they can become a huge force in spain
i expect city group to take over another club in germany and do the same thing. slowly they’ll own some of the biggest clubs in the world. even though their money comes from nefarious places, i like what theyre doing
This 2-1 might be perceived as a ‘simple’ goal or whatever. But it does in my opinion perfectly illustrates the difference between Sevilla and Girona. Girona shows that a team will work when the whole team works. This man didn’t score out of nowhere; he has at least 4 of his teammates to thank for creating space and options for him. That is what Sevilla is lacking now, already saw this way back in Lope’s spell. I firmly believe this still is our biggest on-field problem.
What Girona assistant coach looks poachable for next season?
I hope Girona go all the way! It’s great for la liga!
What a game this Girona Atletico game is!
Amazing game and amazing goals. Girona is playing without fear, like they have nothing to lose… and they don’t!
Hats off to them, although I still think they will succumb to RM and their thievery at the end.
I’m one of those, especially in Spain. I hate him.
I don’t think he’s bad. But so many moments that let me down in a way.
Yesterday he did some really great stuff.
So, I think I have unraveled the mystery. I’m about to make one of those conspiracy boards with red string connecting all the dots, but for now I’ll cut to the chase:
It was never the Monchi blackface curse. It’s the Castro blackface curse, and until we get fully rid of Castro, our fate is doomed.
Well, we’re officially midway through the 2023/24 season. We have 16 points - on pace for 32… The average number of points that the 18th place team in La Liga has had over the last five years is 37. If this trend continues, we’re well on our way to relegation. I think we could probably pick up a few more points in the back half of the schedule but can’t see us finishing with much more than 39 or 40 with our current squad.
This club desperately needs money from European competition, but we’ve backed ourselves into a corner, and it’s still mathematically possible to qualify, but those funds are looking increasingly out of reach.
Here’s the breakdown for the last five years in La Liga:
) we’ll finish with 73, so it’s safe to say the ship has sailed on this, but no one in their right mind was even entertaining this possibility anyway.Here’s the graph. Do with it what you please. I’m trying to keep a positive outlook for the rest of the season and live the Nunca Te Rindas mentality, but I’ll be honest, this club has done absolutely nothing to inspire an iota of confidence.
Wow, Drawlonso did even worse than Sampaoli.
Can Valencia help us out today against cadiz to keep us out the relegation zone? I’ll be watching this one hoping they can.
Vamos Valencia! 
I’ll be damned, Valencia pulled through!
Thank you Valencia!
