Guten Bonjola and welcome back to Spain for the final update of season 5, and in fact our final for a few weeks. Father duties are calling and I don’t have the time or energy to play 3 or 4 nights a week at the moment. See you in September. Meanwhile, Gijon are top of the pile with a 5 point lead, with Barcelona lurking with a game in hand. Howay.
Guten bonjola and welcome back to the always-a-little-too-long middle section of the season. It is season 5 here in Gijon, Spain, and we’re playing Champions League football for the first time. Can we capitalise on a decent start? Our one blot came against Atletico, with Real fading away a little. Let’s football.
Bonjola once more and welcome back to Gijon for a new season. Season 5 promises much as we take our first steps into Europe’s Elite with those famous Champions League nights, provided we can see off hopefully a minnow in the qualifiers. More on that later. A reminder though of how we got here…
Bonjola mes amigos and welcome back to Spain, or Gijon to be more precise. It’s part 3 of season 4 which means we’ve got loads of games to get through. There’s a very real possibility of us qualifying for the Champions League and, whisper it quietly, we’re only 2 points off the top. Real Madrid’s insistence on simply turning up for games and keeping the ball for 90 minutes has proven to be a shoddy experiment. Anyway, La Liga, UEFA Cup, Copa Del Rey. Let’s do it.
Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon, where we’re just into the last swathes of Autumn in season 4. Or, late October, if you’re not bound by the four seasons. The Summer rebuild didn’t really materialise, mainly because all of those players who wanted out and were running out of contract were all mouth and no trousers. They stayed, we topped up with some regens and we prepared to go again. We are going. We are third. I feel like the top two this season is a must.
Guten Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon, where the third season didn’t really see the progress we craved. 5th place is fine, it’s a bit like when Stu’s father-in-law to be is describing him in the Hangover and basically says he’s a crap type of rice. 5th, UEFA Cup runners up and another crack at the same trophy is all fine, but we’re 30 points off the big two. How do we solve that?
Guten Bonjola and welcome back to Gijon, where we are still in two cups and occupy the all important “best of the rest” spot in the table. It’s the run in, which is a hefty 17 league games plus however far we get in the cups, so let’s get to it.
Bonjola and welcome back to Spain, where Sporting Gijon are accelerating my descent to grey hair. Or maybe that should be ascent, it could be a positive. I’ll let you know. Anyway, the once-worst-team-in-Spain are coming off the back of a third place finish, so now we have the small task of hunting down El Clasico competitors. It’s early day yet, I suppose. It’s season 3.
Hola, Bonjour, Greetings. Welcome back to Spain where Gijon are having a wonderful time in La Liga, establishing themselves as the best of the rest in season 2 and hopefully setting their sights on disrupting the El Clasico duo next. How on earth are we going to do that?
Hola and happy Sunday to you. I hope you’ve been enjoying this save so far, I find it hard to believe we are now at the end of season two. There are 21 games to get through in this episode, so we best get straight to it. I’ll work on the pacing, this is a bit lopsided. Anyway, we’re well placed to get back into Europe via our league position, but I can’t see it being too likely we’ll break the Clasico dominance.
