ok, so i'm gonna tell the story of my team this season:

it began quite promising: we were 6th after the first half of the season with hopes of competing for a europa league spot but it ended rather poorly.



finished 13th this year, which is actually ok given the players we have, but quite disappointing after the position we were in mid season. in fact we just won a single one of our last 15 games!

we'll also lose one of the most promising young german defenders (kirchhoff) to bayern (where he will hardly play a match). quite annoying but you get used to it as fan of a small club. the only good thing about finishing so bad is that we might be able to keep our best striker (szalai) for another year.
other highlights of the season were the young striker shawn parker, who looks very promising and nicolai müller who got his first (and probably last) cap for germany last wednesday - he's only the 4th mainz player to achieve that (after manuel friedrich, lewis holtby and andré schürrle) - and of course the away win in frankfurt.

i only went to 4 games this year (3 home, 1 away): one win, two draws and a loss.

Same happened at Fc Metz.. it was even worse last year. 4th of ligue 2 at the half of the season. And at the end we were relegated. <_<

halftime:

Mallorca 2 - 1 Valladolid
Zaragoza 0 - 0 Atlético
Celta 1 - 0 Espanyol
Depor 0 - 1 Real

17. Celta 37
18. Mallorca 36
19. Depor 35
20. Zaragoza 35



we need Espanyol to score!

Doesn't look to good because Espanyol has no motivation to draw/win... but hopefully it happens nd the rest of the results stay the same

I heard the FEMEXFUT launched a formal complaint to Fifa about not letting Dos Santos come and play the Friendly Vs. Nigeria.

IMO it was stupid of Femexfut to do that seeing its only a friendly and Mallorca's game was very important.

Yes this whole thing is beyond annoying. Gio didn't want to go either. Also, the game against Nigeria was rescheduled, it was meant to be played 2 days later, so it should really be Mexico's problem if they decide to change the date and not their players' clubs fault.

In the end Mexico allowed Gio to join the team later if he didn't play against Valladolid. When that happened Mallorca immediately allowed our manager to play Gio, because even if Mexico wasn't allowing Gio to play, once Mexico admited they were ok with Gio coming late, then they have no right to tell Mallorca if he can play or not.
