    La Liga | Round 2: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona

    I see we are exactly as predictable as last season, minus Messi magic. Great so far...

    Will he manage to keep his magic disappearing act all game long? Stay tuned..

    La Liga | Round 2: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona

    Pedri not good until now. Neto is a nightmare. Pique pretty good though. We are having too many issues playing from the back.

    Gerard Piqué

    Of course I am making SOME of it up for comedic purposes. But you will find most people here will agree that this is your stance in it's essence.

    Gerard Piqué

    It bothers people because you call him "a bit of a cunt" for every single thing he does or not, in our out of the field. Messi wants to leave Barca: a cunt. a greedy one. Messi stays after wanting to leave: a coward cunt that doesn't want a challenge. and a greedy one also. Messi agrees to only...

    Sergiño Dest

    I do say in my post specifically: "amazing pace and endurance", "times his runs amazingly". So, there are his abilities, not taken for granted. I don't ever mention Marcelo, who I rate much much higher as a player, no matter if he sometimes is 5kg overweight. That is 5kg of brain missing from...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Gerard Piqué

    I don't quite understand why someone would follow anyone outside his professional work. Except if he is a stalker or something. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what any "celebrity" does outside his work environment and why would I? Except if they are so bad of a person I can't even stand...

    Where does Barca finish next season?

    We haven't seen what the team can do yet. I would say 3-4th place, battling it out with Sevilla, but it's too early to call. We could have an amazing breakthrough season of la massia and even get to second place.

    Gerard Piqué

    It is kind of weird that everyone is so righteous about the tax fraud that happened in 2007-2009.. Messi's father was a poor man and finally had the opportunity to make money and "stick it to the man". You surely can't believe Messi was the mastermind of all this or even that he actually knew...

    Sergiño Dest

    Alba has, or had, amazing pace and endurance. He times his runs amazingly, especially when the ball was served by Messi. His cutbacks are a little suspect most of the times. Defensively if he can't use his speed to sweep long balls he is not good on an organized defense. His mentality is that of...

    La Liga | Round 2: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona

    Another 4-2 is my prediction. Let's smash!!!

    Mavericky Puig

    Pretty much this. Anyone who says he should start is just being weird. But it's not much to ask from Koeman when saying Puig should replace Pedri at the 80th minute of a 3-0 match. I mean, there are levels to what a player can do to help and in that regard he has been underused. Koeman has been...

    La Liga | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Real Sociedad 4-2

    I would wait for the match vs Athletic first but I am kind of optimistic too.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Lewa should rightfully win for 2020. But for 2021, Messi was above everyone. That doesn't mean he was as amazing as he once was. But there were simply no better performers than him. Also won a Copa so that amounts to something too.

    Karim Benzema

    I would take Suarez before 2016 in a heartbeat. But after that, Benz has been much more clutch.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    You don't seem to remember some things though. Firstly, Spain did dominate but struggled much more. Especially at scoring. Nothing like Barca's domination. Secondly, the national teams Spain had to face, were of much lower level than the clubs Barca faced at the time. Finally, Spain had...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    After all these years I think it's evident that post Barca Pep, has failed (given the budget he always had at his disposal) because he had 3 missing pieces. Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. In my mind, if you put those 3 at their primes in any half decent team, they can win almost everything. Surround...

    Philippe Coutinho

    I get the concept of a hard working team that play as a unit, press high up etc etc... I just don't see Barca as one of those teams, without some standout players. The type of players that got all of us to start watching this club. Ronaldo9, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Romario...
