WE HATE HIM, HE CAN'T SCORE! Oh wait! He scored tonight because he's had lots of practice. :) Well done Alba, I friggin' love this guy, wouldn't trade him for anyone.

His intelligence on the pitch is lightyears beyond anyone the media compare him to. Again in this game, you could see that he makes everything happen. He didn't put the balls into the net, but everything started with him. If the team was a car, he'd be the damn driver.

He's like a goddamn ice dancer out there. :wub: Football porn. Good thing the game was on pretty late tonight, kids shouldn't be watching this. :lol:

I wish I shared your enthusiasm, Nucky. I have no expectations, really. I agree with Bojan, this squad is nothing close to our best years, and not to mention our puppet manager...

Maybe we can try loaning out Douglas instead. :facepalm:

Just to help me understand this better, if money and/or relationships were no issue, what would you guys consider marquee midfield signings?

I'm not saying he doesn't have a huge ego, he obviously does, but I'm pretty sure that these statements all take on a somewhat different tone once you read them as quotes on Twitter, as opposed to seeing/hearing him say it in person. I always remember how Busquets recently said that Ibra was a...

Man, you know how spoiled we've become with the incredible level of our main players that we're actually discussing how "bad" Andres Iniesta has been this season and whether he should be zoned out (here comes the best part) in favor of a "world class midfielder". Jesus, the stuff you read here...

I only just realized that he's been at PSG longer than anywhere else in his entire career, and has played by far the most games for them. Weird. Back in 2012 when he left Milan for PSG, I was sure Paris would only be a less relevant stop along the way for him.

Messi is phenomenal. He didn't get the goals, the assists, the flashy dribbles or anything like that, but he is the engine behind this team. Everything starts with him.

Classic Messi free kick. Love the beard, too.

This, but it's not as if we're very friendly towards Slovenians either. :lol:

It doesn't help either when your NT coach has no idea how to use his players to the best of their abilities. Remember when Kovač used Modrić and Rakitić backwards?

We never did that with a player who recently left. Buying back players like Cesc or Pique who left as kids years later isn't the same as it would be buying Thiago who left as a senior player, only three years ago. What I'm trying to say is that the reason we're not expressing interest in him is...

Funny thing is, if he hadn't been in Barca previously, we would be throwing money at him and Bayern now.

I just don't understand some of the reasoning here. Pep is considered a loser for exiting in the semis again, with a strong team like Bayern. What is Barca then, for exiting in the quarters with what was easily the best team in the world for most of the season? Exiting in the quarters twice in...

Why didn't he just retire and go out with what's left of his dignity? He's only embarrassing himself now.

If we hadn't wasted our huge lead, then we would have had more than enough opportunities to not play our best 11. Besides, Arda couldn't play the first half of the season, which is exactly when most of the mid-week Copa games and opportunities to rotate happen. And I'd have no problem giving...

Rakitić got a lot of playing time in his very first season, which is partly the reason why he adapted so quickly. The fewer minutes you play, the longer it will take to adapt. Give Arda time. He's got the talent.

Wow, it's actually come to the point where we're criticizing players for being polite and professional in their interviews. :lol:
