¡Viva er Beti manque pierda!
By: Kent | May 30th, 2009I been a Real Betis Balompié fan since about 1988. Why? We can get into that later. What I want to express is that it’s fair to say my emotions have been and continue to be affected by this damn club. And, as you can probably imagine, recent seasons have been, let’s say, trying at best. Now I recognize that an emotional attachment to a sports club is somewhat silly, but it is what it is and I have the bug. So, I thought I’d step up and work with Wan to discuss this great club, its place in Spanish football history, its fans, and, yes, the agonizing yet compelling chaos that seems to threaten half of Sevilla and us two dozen fans across the globe each and every season. There you go…
One fans emotional attachment (from thousands of miles away mind you) doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that 40+ thousand Beticos are more prepared to sing up the club and refrain from egg throwing and hurling incredibly accurate bottles at Sevilla managers. What really matters is that the players have the emotional maturity and the professionalism to get their asses in gear and play like they’re capable of playing. Yeah, yeah, the inconsistency this year (and last) has been astounding, I know, I know. But tomorrow is one game with the club’s destiny in the hands of a few mercenaries (oops, did I write that?) in green and white. And winning is the only sure thing to keep us up! That being said, here’s a thought: W-I-N.
I’m off for now, off to work on finding a television where I can watch the game. May the miracle of Edú or someone keep us…nope, no negative thoughts. Please, someone step up, please!
¡Musho Betis!
More after the game.

The best part of relegation is that De Lopera will hopefully go away. I’d like to thank the lunacy of this Betis side and, less so, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Sevilla for collectively going home when each played Osasuna to end the season. Betis didn’t get it done and points matter.
There’s really no excuse for them going down. As f-up as they’ve been this season they were/are not one of the three worst teams. But again, points matter…and goal differential matters; the latter condemned Betis.
Sorry all, but my life’s so busy, that you won’t likely see me here much. Hell, I don’t know how to even follow a team from La Segunda. My suggestion is that college students drinking Cruz Campo and “studying” in Spain and soccer fans new to La Liga follow Sevilla…they’re “popular” after all. Or, if you want life easy, follow Real Madrid or Barcelona, one’s always safe with them.
Betis now follows a recent and every increasing line of clubs better than the drop, but clubs that dropped nonetheless (Zaragoza, Celta, Real Sociedad). Crazy league it is. Betis will be back, Getafe, Malaga, Almeria, Racing, Sporting, Osasuna + the three coming up don’t have the resources to ever be safe.
Clean house!
See you all later and have a nice summer.

Welcome to the Offside and say adios to La Liga!
Sorry Kent, just had to add salt in the wounds with that one. I’d be lying if I said I’m not going to miss the infamous Sevilla derby next year but I’d also be lying if I said I’m not a very happy man right now due to your sorrows.
¡Vamos Campeón!

F-No. I was speaking to my suspicions that most Sevilla fans west of The Algarve have, let’s say, come to the team during this recent rise to decency. Credit to ‘em, but Sevilla’s not Barcelona-lite and many of their fans across “the Internets” seem to conveniently forget their clubs history from even the 1990s. And, while I’m really angry at what De Lopera’s done to the club, at the team for fucking around on the pitch in so many games this year, at a hell of a lot, this club NEEDS a cleansing.
BTW, did you SEE the goal difference with Sporting vs. Betis?

To Kent y Wan: Please write a blog, preferably a very long one, on one of the greatest heros to ever don a Betis jersey. I’m speaking of course about Edu. It would be much appreciated and for him it is much deserved. Especially after the way Lopera disrespected him and attemted to low ball him to the point way he has said he will look for other options.
