    Barca elections 2015

    Beckham abandoned ship in the last moment when RM came calling. If I recall then we had already agreed a fee with Man Utd. No, he did not only win because he promised Beckham. Read up on the "Elefant Blau" movement that he was a key member of and several people from his candidacy. Ronaldinho or...

    Boxing

    Or just boxers with a killer instinct that are hellbent on destroying their opponents and giving the public a show. Anyway I can't take tiny fighters like Floyd and Manny seriously. For God's sake all of my female siblings are taller than them. It just feels wrong. A fighter like Floyd has not...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Yes, exactly. Most of the Bayern fans that have visited this forum and who have registered have not caused any trouble at all from what I have seen at least. Besides I find it interesting to have forum members that support other clubs. I would wish that we had more fans of opposing Spanish clubs...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    I have not really watched a lot of their games (they can be counted on 1 hand) but Carrrasco and Martial impressed me whenever I watched them in action. He seems extremely quick and very good technically speaking. I noticed some of the decision making being poor but I think that this is...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    I understand wanting "revenge" from past meetings but the opinions of anonymous users on a forum should be the last motivating/deciding factor. Especially as we are mostly talking about foreigners (just like here) and a microscopic percentage of the overall fan-base. I for once have nothing...

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    I always found those "forum wars" hilarious. Who cares about what some anonymous users write on a forum in the first place? They form a microscopic percentage of their team's fanbase. Try traveling to away games in the CL and meet rival fans from other European clubs. Most of the time there is...

    Barca elections 2015

    Haha, that actually ended pretty well with us getting Ronaldinho instead who was twice the player (easily).:rockon: What I meant with gifts here is a potent candidacy or some attractive promises/deals that could turn any potential doubters in his favor should this season end well. Most club...

    Barca elections 2015

    I don't like the rumors of Laporta teaming up with his old pal Jorge Mendes and the rumors that say that Laporta is struggling with assembling a strong team to support his candidacy. My worst fears of this moronic board getting reelected might not be that far fetched. Especially if we end this...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    What are personal achievements worth if you have nobody to share them with or very few? Not much most would argue. Team chemistry and the goals of the team > personal records. Always. Let CR7 win the Pichichi again. Every time he does that RM end the season pretty much empty handed. The...

    Lliga: Cordoba - Barca 0-8

    Well, we will be favorites, especially if Atlético will have nothing to play for other than their pride, but I have a feeling that they won't be an easy nut to crack. That's just me or maybe the trauma of last season where we were unable to defeat them even once in 8 encounters (what a poor...

    La Liga 14/15

    Valencia won against Eibar as expected. Now the gap between Valencia and Atlético is 4 points. The former is better head to head. The next round will give us a lot of answers. If Valencia manages to take points away from RM at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (unlikely if you ask me) and...

    Lliga: Cordoba - Barca 0-8

    My concern is actually the league rather than Bayern oddly enough. For my part it's the away trip to the Estadio Vicente Calderón and the likeliness of us needing to win that game. Won't be easy. Winning the league title should be the main goal of every season and the league is also the main...

    Will Espanyol lose intentionally to Real?

    Yes. The ideological differences that were mostly based on ethnic origin and politics initially are pretty much not relevant anymore. Espanyol's official name is written in Catalan and the official hymn is in Catalan too. Anyway my father is of mixed Andalusian/Castilian and Catalan origin like...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Or just to let a otherwise poorly performing Neymar score a goal as well and help keep the harmony in the squad intact. We not only need Messi to perform at a high level against Bayern but key players such as Neymar and Suárez as well. This might be an indifferent gesture some would argue but...

    Will Espanyol lose intentionally to Real?

    Not really. Espanyol JUST like FCB has plenty of local fans of Catalan origin as well as plenty of fans among locals with ancestral ties to other regions of Spain. Historically it was slightly differently though. FCB is not the only football club based in Catalonia or who identifies with...

    Basketball/NBA

    Yes, that was quite the game. It looked like Chris Paul played through despite carrying a small knock/injury. He did not look fully fit. Was that the last season of Duncan and Manu and the end of an era? A lot could point to it. At least when it comes to the latter. Clippers-Rockets will be a...

    Will Espanyol lose intentionally to Real?

    Catalans are a minority within Catalonia contrary to popular belief among foreigners. Most locals originate from other parts of Spain or are a mixture of Spaniards (read people from other parts of Spain) and local Catalans. So nothing strange about that. It's very common to have a Spanish (read...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Exactly. He is a local Catalan so by definition the right man. It's the same story when it comes to our other sections such as basketball and handball. Appointing Vinyals in the first place.:facepalm:

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Vinyals being Vinyals. :facepalm: A relegation might not be such a bad thing. The youth setup needs changes which a new competent board will hopefully manage to do.

    Lliga: Cordoba - Barca 0-8

    What does it even matter what people write? Let people have their own opinions as long as they are civil. Being worried about the likely need to win at the Estadio Vicente Calderón and not necessarily joining the "we will definitely crush Atlético and win 0-4 bandwagon" is nothing more than a...
