Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon for one final episode. We’re going to finish season 8 today and then put this save in the freezer. I’ve enjoyed it very much but it has ran it’s course, especially if we achieve our aims today. As a reminder, that is for Gijon to win the Champions League and the B Team (henceforth, The Bees) to win the Cup Winners Cup. Let’s get to it.

Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon for the 22nd and likely penultimate time. Season 8 is upon us and it will be a season like no other. Why you ask? Well, Gijon have won the league several times now and retained the Champions League, so that’s less important. The B Team won the Copa del Rey, which means they’re in the Cup Winners Cup. They must win it. We must win the Champions League, we can meet in the European Super Cup and confirm that we are the greatest club, possibly of all time. I don’t know. Let’s proceed.

Bonjola and welcome to February 2004. Sporting Gijon have been reeling Real Madrid in, and the once 10 point gap is down to 4. More importantly, the dream of the Bees winning the Copa Del Rey is alive and well, can they make it happen and take us one season closer to world domination?

Bonjola! Welcome back to Gijon, where Real Madrid have awoken and once again we have our work cut out to retain our La Liga crown. In this episode we’ll also have our first attempts at winning the World Club Cup and the European Super Cup, and if that doesn’t get your pulse racing then we’ll continue our mission to get the B Team into Europe and complete world domination.

Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon for season 7. Sporting Gijon are now the European Champions, a surprisingly one sided final against Juventus securing our place in history. Our La Liga title defence was somewhat more problematic but we got away with it really, losing 8 games on the way to a narrow success. Now we need to get the B Team good enough to win the Copa del Rey. Let’s football.

Bonjola! Welcome back to Gijon, where the once worst team in La Liga history are now relative giants. The current La Liga champions are being made to work hard in their attempts to retain the title alongside trying to win the Champions League for the first time. Let’s get to it as we reach the finale of season 6.

Bonjola! Here we go again then, Gijon looking to retain their La Liga crown whilst competing in the Champions League and to a much lesser extent, the Copa del Rey. Here’s where we pick up:

Bonjola! Six weeks have come and gone and it’s time to get back to civilisation. I haven’t even loaded the game since we last spoke, but I have seen two kids through the summer holidays, which summarises how my life has changed over the past 10 years since starting this blog.

Anyway, this save. Sporting Gijon were rubbish in 1997 but 5 seasons later we are champions of Spain. Time to refamiliarise ourselves with what we’re here for.
