We dont even know there is football league going on except the fact every other night part of galolhu skyline is lit up by these giant food lights, which once upon a time (in mid 80s when initially these lights were installed) had good number of Male' population quaking with fear for what they thought they saw as a ghost. Instead it turned to be weird play of illumination on some building, funny yes but true.

Good job, Valencia! At least you are rescued for another day. Having survived a relegation scare the last time and your trainer kuda heena toiling away to get the best out of you and to make it top six is admirable, but you need more efforts in term of finance and quality players if you are gonna compete the like of New Radiant.
