Welcome :)

Yeah, I'm watching the match on delay and :facepalm: I don't get it either.

It actually doesn't "look" that bad (8th) but there are still a lot of problems. Elche are in first place, 18 points ahead w/ a game in hand. One good thing though - we are better than Castilla! :hooray:

Players can't be developed & prepared for the first team if they're being coached by an incompetent who doesn't know what he's doing. Sure, the end goal might not be to finish first, since they can't be promoted anyway, but they should be doing way better.

Yeah, not sure details on how German clubs "get it right", but they proved it can be possible at least. Though Galning makes a good point - and as he is someone who has been to several Barca matches, I trust his judgment - is that Barca is a worldwide brand (I hate this term in relation to...

Meh, my friend's sister is married to a guy 40 years older than her. Of course he's not famous or anything, but still things happen.

If two gk thing is true, I'm guessing it would mean we would sign one seasoned gk, and one young one who can study for the future. Since Pinto won't be around forever and none of our youth keepers are exactly setting the world alight. But I agree I would rather go for two CB's as well.

Yeah, Ibra definitely meant it ironically :lol: but still, Pirlo had a lot of nice words for Barca & Pep.

Putting this here because I can't find the general thread about match fixing, guess it got deleted. Levante have been accused of throwing their game against Deportivo last month (they lost 4-0). It will be investigated, Levante of course are saying they're innocent.

Nah you were just scared of the big bad interisti :D

At least that rubbishes the argument a few weeks back that Hummels doesn't know Spanish so he wouldn't fit in here. Of course the main person arguing that point is banned now anyway :p

Handanovic - or at least it seems so based on the amount of people here who said they've never watched him/know much of him when the transfer rumors started. Lucas (Leiva) - there are people who still think he sucks just because he was poor a few years back - when he was being played out of...

yeh same, it is worse to me to be fake your entire life, than to be brutally honest but piss people off in the process. I'm not sure the whole story with Madrid as I haven't read that part yet, but as I wrote in my translation above he had really wanted to go to Barca in summer 2010 but the...

You were pretty quiet at the other match we went to though ;)

yeh, then he could write about how he wished he could trade in the prison stripes for blaugrana & how he bets Tito doesn't throw water bottles at the players at HT. :D

My brain hurts now :lol: But here is my effort, the chapter where he talks about Barca. After the wheel, the PlayStation is the best invention in history. And when there is a PlayStation I am Barcelona (apart from a few times I chose Milan). I can't say the exact number of virtual matches I...

Yeah, it can (and actually I believe "to take" IS the primary meaning... if I was writing a sentence in Italian I would be more likely to use "comprare" if I was talking about buying something). But in the context, or my interpretation of it anyway, it sounds like he meant that he bought Eto'o...

I get your point, which is why I will never simply say that "Cesc is a crap player", but more "he's crap for Barca & the way they play". But the team does not & will never revolve around Cesc, I can't see the system changing just to suit him. But it's true, it was dangerous to try to mold him...

Meh, I think people are always going to be protective of Thiago. I am a big fan of his as well & hope he does become something really special for the club. It's true though, Cesc either has fantastic games or crap ones (more often crap ones). Thiago generally has average-to-good performances...

I am/was a Cesc fan, even bought his shirt when he joined Barca. So I'm not a hater & I don't think he was the worst transfer ever. But really, he just isn't working out here. I think his positive-looking stats are deceiving. For every game he does have where he plays well & actually helps the...
