    Valencia

    Of course it matters. You are criticizing him for his performance today forgetting that he has been one of their best players this season overall. Everyone can have a bad day. It was obviously his turn today. Anyway who said anything about him being a future key player? Surely he is good enough...

    43-21! What a demolition. Unheard of to win by such a big margin this late in the tournament. Let alone overall. Final 4 next. Hopefully it will end better than in the last 2 seasons. Last season's semifinal game against Flensburg still annoys me a little when I think about it.:lol: Luckily...

    Lliga: Barca - Valencia 2-0

    Espanyol will be very tough as usual especially considering the tight schedule and the team's fatigue. Getafe at home? No way. Before the Atlético game the league might practically be decided and if Simeone's troops have nothing to fight for there is not much to worry about. The game away...

    Valencia

    Dani Parejo has done well this season and last season he was crucial when Valencia defeated us 2-3 at the Camp Nou. He did not have his best game today but that should not take anything away from his overall performance this season.

    Handball

    Zagreb are getting massacred. Good to see. As expected. Hopefully Pick Szeged will qualify for the Final 4 tomorrow instead of our main rival THW Kiel. In all fairness then everything else than a CL victory this season would be a disappoint considering our squad and what happened last year. We...

    Lliga: Barca - Valencia 2-0

    He is Portuguese but originally from São Tomé and Príncipe. Very, very poor and chaotic first half but credit where credit's due. Valencia gave it all in the first half and you could see that by their performance in the second half. Unlike us their schedule is not hectic at all. Considering the...

    Valencia

    Valencia is a pleasant city but somehow I have always had a negative view of their football team. Nuno "Holy Spirit" has done a very good job though this season regardless of benefiting from rivals being busy in Europe. It will be a different story next season but Lim's project is interesting...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Anything can happen but I rather play against Atlético than RM over two legs. Sandro and Danilo are HUGE misses. Who will replace them? Can't see Porto going through. I imagine that Ribéry, Robben, Schweinsteiger and Badstuber will be ready for the return leg as well.

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    People should stop kidding themselves here. Both Real Madrid and Bayern München will go through. Anyway right now we are the best team out there and capable of beating everyone over two legs and in a potential final. At least there will be excitement in all the return legs bar our own unless...

    CL quarters: Barca - PSG 2-0 (5-1 agg.)

    Great performance but can't say that I did not expect us to win rather comfortably. We are simply a much better team than PSG and especially a PSG team with numerous important absences. Thiago Silva's injury helped us a lot too. Great to see such a cold-blooded Suárez. We missed that against...

    Qatar FC

    I am not a fan of "oil clubs" by principle but I don't hate nor dislike PSG. It's simply a too small club to hate. A lot of great and likable players too. I honestly cannot see PSG winning the CL in the foreseeable future. Nasser al-Khelaifi is probably an unhappy man tonight.:lol:

    Marquinhos

    I don't even want to talk about how ridiculously poor the "central defense question" was handled by this board for YEARS. The salvation after 3 years of waiting was apparently a 31 year old Mathieu (credit to him then he is a very decent player and backup) and the crook that is Vermaelen. It's...

    Marquinhos

    Yes, let's agree to disagree. I am on the Varane bandwagon and you are on the Marquinhos bandwagon. Both are great players.

    Marquinhos

    I disagree. I think that he will only get better. He is just about to turn 22. That's no age for a defender. Even an semi-injured Varane not playing regularly is among the very best defenders out there. People seem to have a very short memory. I am sure that he will step up as usual should Pepe...

    Marquinhos

    Let us not get ahead of ourselves shall we? Varane is a huge talent and has already shown his worth at the absolute top level. Not for just 1 season but at least for 3 by now. He has also performed at a significantly higher level than Marquinhos unless you want to argue against RM being a much...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Ojalá. That picture gives me a boner especially after Atlético wins against the white bastards.:lucho: Too bad that it will end this week and the next. RM to go through 4-0 on aggregate.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The older one (André) or the younger one, Jordan? I watched the Lorient-PSG game a few weeks ago and Jordan was very impressive. Definitely a player to look out for. Not sure what he is doing at Lorient. We have close to no network in Ligue 1. It's arguably the league in Europe with the most...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Personally I have a list of young promising players that I would consider if I was the sports director. Players such as Awami (21 year old left back, Nice), Emanuel Mammana (19 year old central defender, River Plate), Matías Kranevitter (21 year old defensive midfielder, Rivers Plate), Auro (19...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Bruno Peres is not FCB material. Neither Pjanic arguably. Only Darmian should be relevant out of those 3. If people want young, promising and cheap players then the best market is the South American market. All it takes is a good network. Douglas was nothing more than an average player in...

    Lliga: Sevilla FC - FC Barcelona 2-2

    Also it was indeed strange to see us apparently dominating the first half this superbly until Bravo's mistake. That was very much unlike our usual modus operandi this season as we seem to mostly turn up to decide it all in the second half. Anyway my prediction of not losing turned out to be a...
