*drumroll please*
...Thigh C. I hope people voted for the thigh they wanted to pick and didn't just vote for that out of obligation, because seriously, I'd have been fine with any of the three winning.
Anyway, Thigh A was Bojan. I personally am rather shocked he didn't get a single vote. He's got some serious thigh happening.
Thigh B was Canna. I think that had this been a grin off or a bum off, he'd have walked it, but for some reason, the thigh off didn't quite work out. *shrugs* Maybe I will do a grin off in future.
Thigh C - well, I'm sure you all know this anyway. It's Vicente. So that's two thigh offs in a week. I think it's pretty safe to say he's earned his nickname.

And the winner of the thigh off is...
Valencia, here I come!
My trip is FINALLY booked! I'm going to Valencia from 12th-17th April. I love that work gave me Sunday off because it's Easter and we're shut. It means cheaper flights and a day longer in Spain. Yay! I'm going to start writing my holiday checklist now. And raiding my wardrobe for clothes I want to take. I'm so freaking excited, it's unreal. Less than 2 weeks!!!

Valencia thighs
I got sort of inspired by the Kickette TTO this week and decided to compile a list of all the drool worthy thighs in this squad. Yes, it took me a long time to narrow it down to just one pic per guy. And yes, it took all my will power not to include every single one of the boys. They really do have a good set of thighs. Anyway, enough talk. Step right this way for the evidence...
Joaquin
Baraja
Pablo
Fernandes
Mata
Silva
Viana
RENNIE!
Mori
Albiol
Carleto
Dahveed
Albelda
Alexis
And the very definition of Valencia thigh - Vicente

*needs oxygen mask*
The amount of thigh on show in this pic is seriously insane. It is also killing me very slowly. But don't worry. It's a hella good way to go.

Please stop, I can't take anymore.
Fuck you.
There's so many things wrong with that article, I don't even know where to begin. The Davids must not under any circumstances leave. Both are far too important to the team and when they are on form, they're unstoppable. Fuck right off if you think Vicente's going anywhere. That guy bleeds Valencia. He wouldn't leave no matter how many people were after him. Honestly, I don't want Joaquin leaving either, but out of those four, he's the one I'd sacrifice. Also, since when is 27 years old, well...old? That's the same fucking age as Veeyah. Don't be so rude. Mata needs to stay to help build the future of the team. You can't get rid of all three left wingers, don't be so fucking stupid. Actually, according to this article, they're basically selling off all the attacking players. And who's going to score your goals, geniuses? Marchena? Don't make me laugh. They need to keep hold of Fernandes too, because Baraja and Albelda are getting old, and they're not the powerhouses they were 5 years ago. But then again, if he wants to leave, then get some kind of bidding war going and at least get some good money for him. Miguel - well, Valencia's defence needs a lot of work, that's no secret. If he goes, I don't see who's going to take his place out of the current squad. Maduro usually covers, but he's not a defender and it's unfair to expect him to play as such. And Albiol leaving? Aside from Alexis, he is the only defender capable of DEFENDING. Yes, he has been fail of late, but come on. They cannot all be perfect the whole motherfucking time.

Ok, I'm lame
I totally realised that the final for the thigh off didn't go up when I said it would. Sorry, I've been crazy busy, and sometimes, I would forget my own head if it wasn't firmly attached to my body. Anyway, it will be up soon, I promise. Watch this space.

Player of the week
So this week was pretty good I guess. Zigic wins it, I guess all these Valencia people really do just want to share the love. Except Palop, who was an inexplicable fail :(
Still, I am so glad I bought Vicente. Look at how bloody good he is! Didn't even score, and he still got more puntos than Llorente who DID score. Yay. I love him so much.
Friday, 13 March 2009
I knew it!
He wouldn't let me down. Read this. You see the bit where they say he does not want to leave Spain? Yeah, tough luck City. You're outside of Spain. Give it up, money can't buy you love. Or Dahveed Veeyah.

Thigh off results - part 2!
So the polls are now closed. The votes have been counted. The finalists are known (well to me anyway. I'm sure a lot of you have figured out whose thighs they are too). The winners are as follows:
Thigh off 7 - Thigh B
Tough luck to Kun. He was outvoted. A lot. Still, the thigh in the final is more than worthy.
Thigh off 8 - Thigh A
Another almost complete whitewash of votes. Carleto just got the one vote. Tough luck kiddo.
Thigh off 9 - Thigh A
This was SO close. SO effing close. But, with one vote more, thigh A beat Sergio.
The finalists are going to need some time to prepare, but come Sunday, it's going to be open for battle. I'm going to have to do some serious studying of thighs to pick the best pic. Oh, the chore.
I will stop soon, I promise
Do. Not. Want.
I don't know how many times I need to say this before people start paying attention to me. It took me a good few weeks of bleating on about Vicente starting a game until he finally did. And even then, it was only because there were no other options available more than Unai wanting to play him. If I have to do the same for this, then I will. He can't leave. He musn't leave. It really is that simple. Screw the money, it won't help if you don't have your best player. And if it gets to the situation where you HAVE to sell him, please don't send him to Man City. They're an alright team. Being an 'alright team' is not good enough for him. He deserves to be playing for a team that'll be in the CL every year, not a team that's barely going to scrape a mid table finish. Yes, I realise Valencia are probably closer to the latter right now, but they have the potential to be great again. They would be great if it wasn't for the fucked up finances. And also, with all the billions Man City have, they can't afford to give a little more than €40million. And Valencia aren't going to ask for more than that? Are you shitting me people?

AHAHAHA!
Seriously?? I have been laughing non stop about this since I got the google alert this morning. The mere notion of it is just...no. Seriously, think about it. Dahveed has scored something like 19 goals for them already. He IS Valencia atm, when he's not on the pitch, they fail in a big way lately. Hell, they fail when he IS there sometimes, because one man alone cannot do the job of 10 others. But the thought of him leaving...do.not.want. I know that he's the main player that can bring in the money, and I get that. But come on, I think you need him a lot more than you need the money Valencia. Especially if you're going to consider bringing in Voronin as a replacement. I know that sounds like a stupid statement considering the extent of their debts, but honestly, there is only so much the money they're going to get from selling him is going to do. And when that's gone, it's the same old mess all over again, only this time, they don't have someone of his class to pull them into at least mid table mediocrity. I want them to stay true to what they've said and only sell if they absolutely HAVE to.
Liverpool. Please do not agree to this. I am counting on you. Rafa B, I know Valencia means something to you. Keep their hopes alive, please do not make them have to play with Voronin up front. He may be a good player, but he didn't work at Liverpool and I doubt he'll work at Valencia. Just sell him to Hertha, he seems to be doing ok for himself there. God, if this is what I have to put up with from now, it is going to be a long and painful summer. I think I might just hibernate it away.
Someone stop me with the quizzes!
1. Do you like blue cheese?
No. No I do not. My tummy doesn’t agree with eating what is essentially mould.
2. Have you ever been drunk?
Erm...no? But really yes. Probably on more than one occasion...
3. Do you own a gun?
No. But if I did, there would be a lot of people on my target practice list. I kid, I kid. Maybe just one or two pics of said people.
4. What flavor of Kool Aid was your favorite?
Erm what? We don’t have that in the UK :(
At least I don't remember seeing it...
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
Well yes. Which is why I only go like once every 5 years.
6. What do you think of hotdogs?
Yum yum. I want one now.

When boredom strikes...
INSTRUCTIONS: Go to and www.urbandictionary.com type in your answer to each question in the search box, then write one definition it gives you.
1. Name: Gina
"A person deriving from the latin meaning 'Great'. This name often crops up in love poems as being the centre of love and is known for its soft sound when spoken. A truly beautiful name.
Gina is the love that revolves around my once aching heart."
Ok, well I kind of like the idea of being great. But er...that last sentence. Seriously, that should be the definition for Valencia!
And even though I'm only meant to post one, this cracked me up too much not to post it:
"Hardcore clubbing whore. Talks loudly. From a European background. Plasters on orange consealor, applies white cover up to lips. Chills on "Gino hill" in Canada's Wonderland then goes to Timmies in her boyfriend's Civic."
The only thing they got right is that I'm from a European background.
2. Age: 20
"The age at which one finally feels that the drinking age is actually somewhere in sight."
Er, I live in England. Legally, you can drink when you're 18 here so pft to that definition.
Well, fuck
It has been confirmed. Dahveed is out for the next 2 weeks at least. Read the full article here. And yes, I know it is goal.com and they're not exactly what you'd call reliable, but it's on the Valencia site AND superdeporte, so yeah. I just couldn't be bothered to translate it.
This news is going to be a big blow to Valencia, who are suffering badly right now. They need their top goalscorer there to get the goals for them, or I just don't realistically see where they're coming from. On the one hand, it's sort of a good thing. It'll help the team realise they cannot be so Veeyah dependant. It'll give Vicente a chance to play.
On the other hand - he's their top goalscorer. They need him more than I care to admit. The fact he's not going to be there for 2 weeks to bail them out? It scares the shit out of me. They're in freefall right now, and Unai said they'd hit rock bottom already, that the only way to go from here was up. I don't think that was true. These next two weeks, the potential for Valencia to REALLY hit rock bottom is very much a possibility. They have a porous defence and nobody really lethal enough to finish teams off at the other end. I'm preparing myself for a lot tears and tantrums over the next 2 weeks.
It was just about the worst possible time for this injury to come about. I'm the kind of person that hates to see anyone injured at any time. But for a player THIS important to a team at a stage of the season where they really NEED to be winning every game they play and hoping those around them drop points in order to make the CL spots? Yeah, that's just heartbreaking.

GUH!
Sometimes, I really love this man. Other times, I really REALLY love him.
Seriously, I don't even think I need to say anything else.
Player of the week
So this week didn't suck as much as I thought it would, considering Dahveed didn't play again. Stupid knee injury :(
The winner is Nikola Zigic! See, all these people that have some kind of link to Valencia, they just want in on the love. A special mention to Juan Rodriguez, who is defo one of my better management decisions, 27 puntos in 2 weeks!
Blog Challenge #9: Baller adventures
THE RULES:
You have to choose one baller to do each of the following activities with.
You can't choose the same baller for more than two answers.
You have to explain your reasons behind each answer.
Bonus lolz for being specific with certain questions!
Who would you choose to...
1) Go backpacking across Europe with
Ok, well I've been backpacking (sort of) in Bulgaria and it's actually kind of fun. Except the walking in a field full of grasshoppers part...so I would pick Fernando Llorente. He's tall enough for me to be able to jump on his back and be far enough off the ground to avoid any other icky creatures.
2) Teach you their language
Well, it has to be someone Spanish, because that's the language I want to learn the most. Vicente sounds the best, but he talks too fast, I would not learn anything. I'd say that Nando could teach me Spanish. I'd pay attention to what he was saying because I dont see him in that way.
10) Have a short but wholly satisfying sordid affair with
Dahveed. I don't know if I could deal with being bitchfaced for the rest of my life, but I could take a few weeks/months of it. And the excitement of being caught by the rest of the Valencia boys and word getting back to the hubby would make it all the more exciting.
11) Go to a fancy dress event with
Crouchie. He can be my penguin. I like penguins. He always has the coolest costumes and you can guarantee we would win first prize for best dressed pair...

12) Have a drunken hook up that you may regret with
Probably Xavi. Though if I'm honest, I'd probably regret the fact that it's not a Valencia boy more than the fact I'd regret it was Xavi. And can you imagine how bad I'd feel waking up the next morning next to a guy that's shorter than me.
13) Go ballroom dancing with
Raul. He's handsome, looks good in a suit and definitely looks like he could show me a thing or two on the dancefloor.
14) Pull off an Ocean's Eleven style heist with
Any one of the Valencia boys would totally work here, but I'm going to go with Albiol. Because he's totally ninja.
15) Go on a secret mission with
Erm, I would say Dahveed. Because he is totally BA and the secret mission would totally be secret forever. He'd just bitchface anyone who tried to get any information out of him.

Thigh off - part 9!
And the last part before the final. Votes on part 7 will close tomorrow, votes on part 8 will close on Monday and votes on this part this will close on Tuesday. The finalists will be posted on Wednsday, and if you want your fave thighs in there, get voting now.
A or B

Are you kidding me Unai?!
So I read this today, and I have to say, I do not understand. Silva's out of the game most likely. He is a left winger. As far as I know, Michel is not. You have Vicente available to you. He's fit, he wants to play and now he has the perfect opportunity to play, and you're telling me they're going to start Michel? Unai, if this is true, you just got bumped so far up my 'do not like at this point in time' list, it's just not even funny. Seriously, what the hell does Vicente have to do to get a game?! Take out the rest of the midfield so he's your only option maybe? Oh no, wait, then you'd just play Marchena...I give up.
Thursday, 5 March 2009
Please god no.
I know it will eventually come to this. It has to. Valencia won't survive their ridic debts if they don't sell at least some of the players. I'm just glad they've finally admitted it needs to happen and there's a chance it WILL happen this summer. I think I might deal with it a lot better when it eventually happens if I've been prepared for this. Up until now, they were adamant that Veeyah and Silva are going to stay, but the fact of the matter is, they can't say that for sure, they just never know what's going to happen. It'll hurt like hell watching them play against Valencia. That's sort of why I want Dahveed to get over himself and agree to go and play for Liverpool. At least I could sort of deal then, he won't have to come up against former team mates and inflict the sort of punishment on them that I see him inflict on others on a weekly basis. Because really, can you imagine what would happen if Valencia had to play AGAINST him?! The defence can barely deal with strikers who are much less lethal than him. Boys, please make it into the CL. Maybe some money from there will mean you can keep them until at least January. *hopes and prays, but knows she's fighting a losing battle* I'm preparing myself for a long and painful summer of transfers.
Thigh off - part 7!
A vs B 
It's back. Vote A or B. You have until midnight on Sunday. Don't complain if your fave doesn't make it through, you know what you have to do.
Thigh off results!
Ok, so the first round of the thigh off is now closed. I'm not going to reveal who's thighs won, but the losing thighs have been named. The votes have been counted and the results are as follows:
Thigh off 1 winner - Thigh A.
Nando's thighs put up a good fight, but they were just edged out with 8 votes to 6.
Thigh off 2 winner - Thigh A.
Poor Xavi. This was the closest fought thigh off, but with 6 votes to the winners' 7, he's out at the first hurdle.
Thigh off 3 winner - Thigh B.
Frank only got 2 votes in this, but that doesn't mean anything really. They're still hot thighs!
Thigh off 4 winner - Thigh A.
Baby Mata still has a fair way to go to equal the standards of the winning thigh. Still he got a very respectable 6 of the 14 votes.
Thigh off 5 winner - Thigh A.
This was another pretty one sided contest, Mori lost out. Don't worry, you're still a winner in my heart.
Thigh off 6 winner - Thigh A.
I am really shocked by this. Stevie only got 2 votes :O
Anyway, the first part of the next round will be up later today. Because I didn't think this through too well (i.e. didn't think that I'd only end up with 3 thighs going through here) the final is going to be a three way thing. Votes for the first part of the next round will open as soon as the post goes up, and they will remain open until 00.01GMT on Sunday. Then the second part will close a day later and the final part will close at 00.01GMT on Tuesday.
So...
I read this a few days ago, and despite the massive rant I had in the comments on there, I guess I just wanted to do one of these myself. Any regular visitors will by now have realised I love Valencia like I love oxygen. Any new visitors, you'll quickly come to realise that fact. They're one of those things I need in my life, I can't explain why or how the obsession got quite this bad, but I'm sure as hell not complaining. They'll end up putting me in hospital one of these days, my heart just cannot take all the drama they bring with them. Former smoker here boys, give it a few years until all the negative effects are out of my system, yes? Having said that, I just can't not watch them. They cause heart attacks on and off the pitch, but I'm willing to risk that. Anyway, as of late, they have basically not been performing to the standards I know they can. There's various reasons for that, but that can go in a whole different post, because quite frankly, I don't have the energy to keep up anymore. Instead, I decided to write my own list of things they can do to improve.

I am pulling an all nighter
My first one since my first year, and what a time to do it. Of course, I had this assignment all mapped out in my head. I was waiting until the last possible minute to actually start writing in just in case anything else relevant occurred. It completely slipped my mind that seeing as I work weekends, that's two days less to complete it. Then, of course, I wrote the deadline down wrong. Like duh. Thinking it was due on Wednesday morning and that I'd be able to do some last minute work on it tomorrow then hand it in, I left a fair chunk of it to do. Needless to say, when I checked and saw the deadline was 9am on Tuesday, I panicked. A lot. So now, I have to write roughly 1000 more words before 6.30 am, get a train to Brighton at 7am and hand in the work before the deadline. All this, and I have to remember the online copy before I leave, or I'll miss the deadline. Yeah, I'm not getting any sleep tonight. It's taken me roughly 4 hours to get the 1000 words I have. Another 4 hours to get the rest would mean 4am. If I fall asleep then, you can guarantee I am not waking up in the morning, so basically, I'd rather pull an all nighter. Oh coffee and cigarettes, how I need you. Sadly, I quit smoking so I'll have to make do with just the caffeine fix. Oh boy. It's going to be a long night.
Player of the week
So, I made a last minute management decision this week to buy Juan Rodriguez. Well, what a decision it was. He scored the winner and he is this week's winner of my player of the week award.
Weekend = fail
I don't even want to go into what the fuck happened in the football this weekend. Liverpool were fail. Valencia were fail. The whole bloody weekend was fail. Except Barca losing, that was not quite so fail...
But anyway, I don't want to write a match report quite frankly. I'm getting sick of writing the same stuff over and over when it comes to Valencia. Vicente's not starting. When he comes on, the team plays about 359482 times better. The next game, he's on the bench again. Seriously, what does he need to do to get a starting spot??
The guy is having such a bad run of late, I don't even know what to say. I thought Marchena was supposed to be the one that couldn't defend...

I want to make babies with Iker and Vicente
Ok, before I start this, just remember I have 2 clubs, so some answers will be about Liverpool and some will be about Valencia. I also have 2 NT's because my actual one sucks and I like jumping on bangwagons (not really, I just prefer club over country and Spain have more of my club player than England do). Just depends on the questions I guess...
A) 3 players you like who play for a rival team(s)
1) Phil Jagielka
2) Cesc Fabregas
3) Andres Palop
B) A player from a rival team that you would unfunfunfff
1) Iker Casillas
C) The player who got you into football
1) Michael Owen and Vicente
