We had someone who used to make emoji/smiley, but that user left the forum unfortunately.

Well, I'm good using Photoshop and 3D graphics softwares, I can do this job definitely. Perhaps you mean the guy, who left the forum, had access to uploading smileys? Or?

Hugely underwhelming. Manager with little success, appointed because he was the easy choice with a link to the club. Doesn't sit well with me. Good luck to him though, would love to eat my words.

Considering the teams he's managed, the success he's had is more than Pep or Lucho ever had when they joined.

I like it is a 2+1 contract,I hate those 2 years contract where once a manager have success we have to negotiate extension next summer and he forces the player he wants,and if he fails it is still easy to fire him

I expect Barca to play with more focus on the defence. It's basically what's Real Madrid's been doing in the last 4 seasons since Ancelotti, I mean counter attacks without dominating ball possesion.

I remember well the second leg of CL 1/2 finals against Bayern Munich in 2014/15. Of course, we had 3-0 advantage, but what I'm saying is we were clinical on the counter attacks against a two or three men defence.
