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.
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?
