Los Chi Thu. Kandraavi.






















Regarding the embarrassing display of knowledge about current affairs crap like "Arab Spring", I can explain. Unless classics like "Remote stuck on News when surfing for Adult entertainment", "I had a dream....", and "Was in a Playboy article, though I swear I only bought it for the pictures" are no longer accepted. In which case, I invoke pathological prerequisite of blog post to sound knowledgeable, more recently googled the knowledge - the better. On an unrelated note, I was just wondering perhaps Implosion could really be a key part of the gravitational collapse of large stars, leading to the creation of supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes. Did I mention this wonderage came to me like a rain drop slowly trickling down the window pane as I gazed into the murky fields outside marveling at how it was a metaphor for my murky inside. Now that we've sufficiently proved we are a blog and not a news site, (so far not helped by the adamant display and insistence of our ignorance... me about EPL, and Tazim about all things small and Non-Arsenal), a heart rending piece about Valencia's Implosion.

Hark, Valencia, thou art like a rain drop that trickleth down the medieval glass thing that will eventually be known in 100 years as window pane. Last month, I'd made another one of those by now patented why-couldn't-you-just-stfu comments about it not being the worst thing in the world for Valencia to slip out of their 3rd place limbo just to give them a kick up the rear. Unfortunately, by "out of 3rd", I meant 4th... for a week... before they rip roar their way back to third on a gore strewn path of bloody vengeance (one does not simply walk into 3rd place... too much? ...yea too much...), not 4th forever, and definitely not 5th forever! Banega out for like...ever... (which on the silver lining, might mean he smoothly ducks under the Summer Transfer Radar of most clubs) is not even the worst thing going for them right now, its a Mestalla that can't wait to Arab Spring on Emery's ass. 3 wins of the last 13 and they're now temporarily just 3 points ahead of Malaga and Levante (which of course also makes you wonder how many friggin points ahead they were end-2011) who will probably go level from their respective games tonight. Only bright side being they both play sides (Espanyol, Osasuna in 6th and 7th) who are also fighting for European spots so at least Valencia have the luxury of somebody losing out tonight.

For all the hanky waving, last night's Getafe game was actually quite good, 68% possession, neat good looking passes by Jonas, nice control by Parejo, excellent excellent Jordi Alba in a game where they conceded 3 completely EPL goals which I'm always more lenient in understanding. But composure zero, flurry of yellows, and Guaita zero in collecting lobs into the box. Keeper rotation this season has been brilliant at Valencia, Diego Alves great shot stopper and reflexes playing against terrestrial teams and Guaita tall and confident with crosses playing against aerial teams. Getafe aerial team, Guaita tall unconfident fail. But performance million crores better than abject game against Zaragoza midweek oh geez that was so incredibly horrible! Scary ass line of fixtures coming up - huge game vs Levante, huger game at Real Madrid, straight into European contenders Rayo, and Espanyol. Hankies away pliss. Meanwhile, Barca close in to 6 points behind RM, so Valencia out for blood now and having RM up in 2 weeks might just be nice for Barca, who can then invite RM to the Camp Nou in a nice do-die-oh-do-die-da end to the season which I'm still pessimistic enough to fear goes RM's merry way.
