The Sevilla Thread

Up for the Cup tonight, Fulhaman. Congratulations !!




Who do you get it the Final?

 

Either Valencia or Barcelona, who have a 1-0 lead from the first leg. Find out tonight. Probably Barcelona but Valencia are at home and it is only one goal. Anyway, our 17th final in 18 years so jolly happy, as is the Senora.

In other exciting news our latest signing was unveiled the other day. A brand new team bus. Honest. Made the front page of the local rag.

 

Well, it's Barca. Good luck to us.

 

Hear tell there's another big game on tonight, Fulhaman. Best wishes to all Sevillistas.

 

We weren’t great. Think that’s us done in the Champions League this season. Can’t see us beating them at Old Trafford. Was a good night, though. Lots of noise and passion from the fans.

Stadium looked great. Warm-ish day and night and even had a drink with a couple of nice Manc lads after the game who wandered into the home bar we were in looking a bit lost. The Senora took them under her wing and kept a couple of the lairier locals off with a few well chosen words. All good fun in the end.

 

Come On You Sevillistas

 

Football, eh? Bloody Hell.

 

Well done to our 'Little Aeroplane' Vincenzo wiping the smile off Jose's face

 

Back to the "auld claes and purridge" today, Fulhaman. At least the weather seems nice in Leganés.

 

Some game Fulhaman !

Must be gutting to get pegged back by two goals at the death though, especially since one of them was by that prat Suarez. And it sounds as though Messi coming off the bench was a bit like young Sess for us yesterday. From what I've read you were terrific up to that point and indeed should have been more than two up. Hard for Sevillistas to take I guess but well done nonetheless.

 

Didn't manage to get to the game, been struggling with flu for the past week or so and prior to that my old dad, a Fulham fan for more than 70 years, passed away so have been over in the UK a fair bit so sort of lost touch with what has been happening and the local feeling, but yes, very disappointing.

 

Really sorry to hear about your loss Fulhaman. But by jings, your dad didn't half live through all the highs and lows of being a Fulham supporter. And better though, seen a raft of characters that makes some of us green with envy.

Obvious now know where your own 'fanbase' comes from.

 

So sorry about your Dad, Fulhaman.

 

Big night for the Sevillistas

 

My condolences fulhaman, ~ like your dad I have seen many of the highs and lows
at the Cottage over the decades

 

Wow!! I have found a page devoted to one of my favourite teams, Sevilla. I was there at the beginning of March and took in their game against a very modest Athletic Bilbao. Won that one comfortably.

Perhaps Fulhaman might tell me how much it cost Sevilla to build their current squad but I wouldn´t mind guessing that it is considerably lower that any club in the PL, which puts to shame the current achievements of Southampton, Stoke and WBA, and indeed Wolves.

 

A tad unlucky. Still only one goal in it and as the club say, all to play for ...

 

It's kind of difficult to say exactly because we had departures as well as arrivals. Last year we spent about £68 million on players but got about £73 million back, so we had a £5 million profit overall. Much the same happened the previous season (although we made even more money that year - about £15 million in credit). In fact over the last 4 years we have made over £50 million profit on all our transfer dealings. I guess if you just take incoming transfers over the last 3 years and ignore any outgoings the value of the squad would be about £170 million - give or take.

 

Horrible result last week and now out of the Europa League places. On Saturday we play Villareal who are one point and one place ahead of us and in the last Europa League place. Bib, big game.

 

Just watched the highlights and you could have pulled it off tonight Fulhaman. Still should give you extra confidence for that weekend game.

And the Sevilla tweet after the match was pure class -

"Congratulations to our opponents @FCBayernEN on sealing a route to the @ChampionsLeague semi-finals
There's a reason you are already Champions of Germany We wish you the best of luck for the rest of your European campaign"
