A fracture rules Marc Roca out for 43 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Betis will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ander Astralaga decides it from twelve yards
2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Betis through in the cup
A 2‑2 win over Andorra, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.
Match10 Nov 2035
Chastening afternoon for Betis
A 0‑4 beating by Barcelona was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Betis are no longer polite ones.

Tempers go at Betis
Troy Parrott was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Santiago Gauna wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
