La perspectiva de Burgos - with @SomosBurgosCF (28th November, 2017)

You can follow @SomosBurgosCF on Twitter.

A bit about yourself and your background

I was born in Burgos, but I'm not living there now - I'm studying at secondary school now.

How long have you been a fan of Burgos and what made you support them in the first place?

I've been fan of Burgos since I was 11 years old. I support the club because it's the team of my city and because I like to watch to football matches inside the stadium, not in front of the TV.

Describe your first experience of watching Burgos play?

It was a match in Segunda B, years ago, Immediately I fell in love with the stadium and the matches atmosphere.

To an outsider - how would you describe Burgos' playing style, what it means to be a fan of the club, and what it means to be a player of the club?

Our playing style is what I like to call "de garra" (of talons) - where we fight for every ball.

Being a fan of Burgos means going to see your team at El Plantío every Sunday, whether we win or lose, or we are in the first division or third.

Describe the importance and significance of a game against a rival?

Our biggest rivals are Real Valladolid and Mirandés. They are very important matches where you can only win, although they are not very frequent matches (we are usually in different divisions).

There was a time when Burgos were in the Tercera. However, it has since "consolidated" itself in the Segunda B. How would you describe the last few seasons for Burgos fans?

We expected better results in the last few seasons, because - except in the 2015-16 season when we ended in 5th - we were at the bottom of the table. In spite of everything, this season it's going quite well by now.

What is your opinion on the utilization of the youth teams? How would you rate the opportunities that youth players get in the first team?

I think the youth teams have to improve in the next years, because until now just a very few number of players of Burgos have come from youth teams.

List some things you appreciate and some things you can’t stand about the club management.

I think the club management is OK - apart from the communication with the fans. Sometimes we don't get official news, and rely on what is said in the newspapers.

Any notable ultras or fan groups that are worth mentioning?

There are a lot of fan groups like Reducto Burgalés, Jumba, Resaca, Frente Kolocón, …

Is there something that the media doesn't (or maybe doesn't want to) talk about Burgos that you think is worth mentioning?

Sometimes the media haven't criticized the club's chairs, but that was in past times.

Your thoughts on the season ahead?

I think that we have a very good playing staff and that we will be near the top of the table. Maybe at the end of the season we can get into the playoffs!

Francisco Pérez Pérez - the actual oldest player to have played in Spain (1st November, 2017)

I've always wanted to ask a football player: how much do you love your club? If you see your club go down, what are you willing to put on the line to see them go back up? The notion that "players will come and players will go, but the fans are the club" is one that is sadly true in what has become a money-filled sport. The story of a player sacrificing money and success for his club? That story is rare. That story is beautiful. This is that story. This is the story of a player who loved his club. His local club. It'll be a long time if and when someone beats his record. Francisco Pérez Pérez, also known as Chico, currently holds the record for being the oldest player to play in the Segunda B - 43 years and 93 days is the figure. That's a figure that second place Diego Rodríguez Fernández (41 years and 324 days) falls short of by a year and 134 days. I should also point out that the top 3 list for oldest players to play in any of the top three tier

When three teams offered a 19-year-old an eight year contract (11th October, 2017)

Just how many players can you name who have the following descrption: He is a striker of great quality, and was a great promise of Spanish football, but his bad luck and some injuries denied him the opportunity to recover - he has never played more than one season in the same team. This is the story of a player - a technically and physically excellent striker - who made mistakes and suffered injuries very young and never really recovered. Born in Santa Eulàlia de Ronçana, Barcelona, Iván Peñaranda started his youth career at Granollers. His real formation, however, was in the lower categories of Barcelona, ​​in which he stayed for seven years (1991-98). Playing alongside Xavi Hernández, Gabri and Carles Puyol. He was considered as one of the young players with a huge future within the club. In the summer of 1998, he angered Barcelona by using "change of residence" as an excuse to sign for Mallorca B (he would move there along with his family), where he would play alongs

Who is Raúl Martín Presa, the Mickey Mouse? Part 1. (20th August, 2017)

José María Ruiz-Mateos was the head and main shareholder of Nueva Rumasa - the company that owned Rayo and other companies - mainly specializing in dairy products. (He wasn't the president of Rayo though - his wife, Teresa Rivero, was Rayo's president). In early 2011, the directors announced a debt of over 700 million euros, that it was on the verge of bankruptcy and that staff wouldn't be paid. And the players were visibly angry about it - captain Míchel assured the press that the club would continue fighting on the pitch, but the day after the announcement was made, six key players didn’t attend training. Veteran midfielder José María Movilla spoke on radio station SER about the situation, about the fact that he had only received seven of the last eighteen months of pay, about the fact that there were a few players who couldn't even afford car repairs. When Rayo Vallecano were about to earn promotion to La Liga despite all the odds - the players not being paid,
