    Cesc Fàbregas

    Cesc is actually an intelligent guy off the pitch (although I don't like his attitude), so I dunno if it's his English or if he really meant what he said. It could be that for him Xavi and Iniesta are probably so good that it's not "real" and for him real football is the one, the others, that is...

    Antoine Griezmann

    He actually didn't choke. That header was once again incredible, greatly saved :( Didn't have many chances. Fucking Dechamps never knew how to play with this team.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    There's actually much more to it. It is just the beginning. People were expecting football to be like Baseball (Moneyball), I can see it takes longer as football has its very own peculiarities. Apart from whoscored, people like Ted Knutson (Statsbomb) and others are really doing interesting...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Oh thanks, maybe I should run around and tell ppl how good Ronaldo is and that Messi is worse than Maradona because indeed, he's never won a WC? I am aware that none of those those fucktards on ********* and similar websites do know anything about statistics above goals scored and distance...

    Pep Guardiola

    He should be successful there and come back to Barca some day but I doubt he'd return to Barca.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    The discussions are ridiculous, as always in this thread. Somebody talks about statistics, forgetting that statistics includes all the games, all the touches, all the assists, all the movements, all the goals scored, the games won, the tournaments won. Only an idiot would count the ECs and WCs...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    RM's political/institutional power in Spain is just incredible and as recent history has shown us, Barca won't ever be as powerful as RM, no matter for how long it is considered the best club. If we are lucky, we will have generations as these (Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Messi, Pedro etc.) and will...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I love the mercenary comment, as if nations are not built on some fictional borders. Messi could have won 3-4 titles with Spain, even with the Catalan national team (Xavi, Busquets, Puyol, Pique, Pedro etc.). Of course not winning a final is not his fault, it is never one players fault. People...

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    Don't listen to the guys that try to justify "why Cholo wouldn't make it at any other team". These are mostly haters. They remind me of the stupid EPL fanboys stating that Messi wouldn't score as much in the EPL or that Barca wouldn't be as good. Now people try to do the same hating on Simeone...

    Lliga | Round 35: FC Barcelona - Sporting de Gijón 6-0

    Yap, any normal game we'd destroy them, but I don't know if we have enough power this time (mental and physical). They'll try anything to stop us.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Football used to be a game of almost no statistics. Then they started to collect some and right now, even if it is just starting, the bigger clubs have their own statisticians etc. However, believe me none of them (not even the kit manager) looks just at goals. Everything they do is for goals...

    Lliga | Round 35: FC Barcelona - Sporting de Gijón 6-0

    I just checked our form statistics. Before the drop last month, we had a 12 game winning series. Madrid is on a winning series right now with 8 wins, and there are 4 games to go. Atletico actually never managed to go above 4 games without dropping points this season. It's not likely that Barca...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He showed some good signs yesterday. We need him for the last games. Having seen Xaviniesta & Busquets for years, one might think Rakitic is slow (dribblings and turnarounds). Yes, compared to Iniesta he might be slow, but Rakitic is so important for this Barca team. His understanding of the...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    People like to throw numbers without putting them in context. Football is tougher these days they say (more professional, more tactical awareness), I agree to some point. However, the competitive balance in domestic leagues as well as in Europe can't be compared. I remember clubs, such as...

    Lliga | Round 34: Deportivo de La Coruña - FC Barcelona 0-8

    No game will be easy, this wasn't until the 3rd goal either. Deportivo's defense was awful but we had some mistakes as well and we could have easily let one in. I hope our guys will have the confidence needed to end this. But a 5 game winning row, especially with both Madrid teams on our necks...

    Arda Turan

    The only guy with Roberto we can use to somehow have an "impact" on the game. Unfortunate that he is probably not able to play tomorrow.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    He should be criticized for his poor form as we needed him most in the past month, however, there are some injury/sickness fantasies that I don't understand. Lucho wanted another striker for Suarez as far as I know, management didn't want to. So we end up playing our front 3 every game. Messi...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Thank god nobody is a physician here. Most people know their body better than anyone else (don't they?), there are medical teams at Barca, Messi has some experts consulting him every day. Yeah, they might be wrong from time to time, but please, just because he did not assist or score for 500min...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    I love how people react so quickly, some even say "sell him". Believe me, any team (esp. RM) would be more than happy to sign him. Read the comments in January (Ballon D'Or) and you'll see how everybody was about him having deserved his place, being the second best player etc. He has an awful...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Good luck benching a guy that is on top of the salary list at Barca! Unfortunately, it does not work that way!
