After their winter break several members of the FCB squad were back in the Spanish capital for their clash against old goes Union Selección at their new La Elipa home. A scratch team to take in the division winners from last season was: For a team thrown together after tireless phoning round my manager Majid, […]

  FCB travelled to Polideportivo Alberto Garcia, a ground new to the Bunwer League, on Saturday morning to face new team Diesel CF. After waiting around for half an hour on the freeing December morning watching the sun come up, the boys were finally let in by a disgruntled caretaker and the game kicked off […]

  The Brits set out to face Animales, in their classic assorted Spain jerseys on their home ground at Fundación Rayo Vallecano hoping to remain top 3 in the league and put some pressure on the leaders just 3 points away. The cold morning started worryingly for Majid as some unexpected absences added to the […]

FC Britanico were in action this weekend for possibly the last time at Puerto de Reinosa (much like Tottenham’s new stadium, the facilities at las Colcheras are running over budget and over time, but are nearly ready to move into). It won’t just be the reasonably priced beer FCB will miss from fortress Vallecas, it […]

It was a cold morning in Getafe. FCB turned up to find Jorge in the car with some regaetton blasting clearly enjoying himself. A good warm up and the boys were ready to go. Jorge, Omar, Rama, Ricky and Ed comprised the back line. Codename Kante, Calum, Luigi, Joe and Ish made up the midfield […]

  On a decidedly autumnal early Saturday morning FC Britanico travelled in a straggled convoy to face Bar Rueda at Santa Eugenia. FCB were looking to get back on the horse after last week’s defeat, while their opponents were looking to avenge the mauling inflicted on them last season by the boys from blighty. Despite […]

FCB started the game with a low winter sun in their eyes and some dodgy passing. Scrappy and nervous the first few minutes were not enjoyable at all as Fraher pressed high. Fraher struck after five minutes with a long effort (50 yards or so) catching Jorge off his line and blinded by the sun […]

FC Britanico were back in action on Saturday against Clausura Plata winner Chiquifru. In what was almost a repeat of last season’s infamous gaffe, new American signing Michael almost forgot the kit and had to taxi back to retrieve it leaving the lads precious little warm-up time. Added to that was the absence of star […]

The second round of the 18-19 Bunwer Apertura saw FCB play their first home game of the season against Carrozas at their new home ground at las Cocheras in the glamorous environs of la Elipa. Rami’s XI on the day was: The first twenty minutes or so weren’t great from either side in truth as […]

The first game of the season saw the boys in red facing Bar Hermanos Arribas at the CES film school grounds, looking to confirm the good sensations from the easy win on the friendly a week before. Majid’s men lined up with Portuguese debutant José wearing the gloves, and an experienced back four with Dorus, […]
