Another beautiful sunny morning in Vallecas saw FCB take on Apertura Champions Union Seleccion in this season’s Clausura. The lads had secured a last gasp 3-3 draw in the previous meeting between the teams, and Majid and co surely expected a tough day at the office again this time out.The omens were good for the […]

After last week, it seemed like the boys in red had found their way again and a visit to Aravaca to meet AAPLA was a good opportunity to confirm it. However, a resounding 3-0 defeat brought back ghosts from a very recent past. The starting eleven was formed by Hutch in goal, Sean, Rama, Ricky […]
The last few games leading up to last Saturday had been rough, with FCB winning only one of the last 5, conceding far too many goals and suffering some humiliating defeats in the process. This would be worrying for any team, but when this happens to a prestigious club like FC Britanico, it becomes a […]
The first round of the Bunwer League Clausura got underway on Saturday, and FCB travelled to Getafe on a freezing cold morning to play Bar La Piscina. Once again Rami and Fleck’s team selection was hampered by failing alarm clocks and the men in charge were forced into playing winger Sean in an unfamiliar central […]
This week saw FCB travel to Coslada for a 9 AM kick off against old rivals Bar Castilla (aka Fausto’s). The omens weren’t great as two of the match day squad slept through their alarms and turned up late to join an already depleted squad. Hutch, Christian, Rama and Dorus made up the back 3 […]
A freezing cold Saturday morning in Vallecas and Britanicos were at home against league leaders and last season’s Clausura winners Union Seleccion. Rami opted for a familiar line-up with experienced midfielder Josh Tally partnering workhorse potato Fabian Asland in Midfield, and Zak playing his penultimate game for the club up front. It wouldn’t be unfair […]
After the festive break spent boozing heavily/Seeing loved ones/laughing at Pep Guardiola/ getting married without your team there, FCB were back in action this weekend in East Madrid looking to pick up 3 points and shed some Christmas timber in the process. Their opponents Chiquifru B started the game well and matched the Brits for […]
FCB came out of the blocks with some great play, from the back (as fleck likes) Macca and Dorus were spreading the ball like Alonso. The opposition didn’t know what to do. They were resorting to theatrics as the referee seemed to think it was genuine. FCB didn’t care and let their football do the […]
Matchday 9 saw Majid’s charges head to Rayo Vallecano’s training ground to face Cervezas Mahou. Don’t let the name fool you though, these guys weren’t just a bunch of hungover brewers, they had reinforced their ranks from last season and were looking for an upset against the men in yellow. The first half started with […]
FCB started unbeaten and feeling good, the aggressive play from the opposition was what was expected and dealt with, to begin with. The defence started as normal in recent weeks, with three. However, soon the tactics changed due to the speed of the striker no9, which was anticipated, but not dealt with easily. The formation […]
