    Apart from Barca, what other team would you love to see Messi play for?

    I'd like to see him play for Sacchi's Milan playing off of Van Basten.

    Is Perez paying certain referees?

    Cala held down Alves with his hand and prevented him from jumping. It's a clear foul. http://gifninja.com/animatedgifs/713755/cala.gif

    Penal Madrid

    Yeah, but there wasn't much publicity over it that season. This was so blatantly ridiculous and newsworthy on it's own(last minute to newly promoted Elche) and then we've had Pique tweeting and Rosell also commenting.

    Sandro Rosell

    barcastuff ‏@barcastuff 4h Rosell (president): "Madrid penalty in last minute yesterday? Still can't believe it. It was so clear, there's no further comment needed." Wow, he actually spoke.

    Is Perez paying certain referees?

    How does him not sending off a Sevilla player cancel out him being a Real Madrid supporter? It does the opposite.

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    1) Tito was in charge of the best league campaign in football history. 2) Tito got cancer which had a negative affect on him and the squad during the season. 3) Tito had to resign and so hasn't got the chance to prove whether he could learn from any mistakes that he made in the first season.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Yeah, the atmosphere is great, but that's what I mean when I say it comes down to the players mentality. With a coach that pays serious attention to the opponent I'm hopeful they'll do well.

    Penal Madrid

    This is the point people miss because they are victim to political correctness and lack the diligence to look at all the evidence. It's clear the benefit RM receive from the referees. It happens too often to ignore. Of course people will look at Barca and they'll find one instance where Barca...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    That was a fluke reliant on Barca being wasteful in attack. It doesn't really matter what defensive line is put out by Barca, there is a clear disparity in quality between the teams. The game will be decided by the mentality of the Barca midfield and attack.

    Would you prefer to see Barca play.....

    I want to see Barca play beautiful football, but I don't want to see tactical ignorance and sheer stupidity.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    He missed a bunch of chances against Valencia in the second half as well. Messi is still only 26 so I'd expect that he can work on his game and improve for at least another 1 or 2 years.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    In that case Montoya can do a job at left back. Almeria, Celtic and Vallodolid are teams that Barca should be able to beat fairly easily so it's a good time for him to get injured.

    Penal Madrid

    This shows he has got a goalscoring instinct to get in position to shoot so often. It also shows his goalscoring technique is a bit lacking.

    Sergio Busquets

    Some of his passing is just amazing. Especially when his drills it with pace right at the player.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    He looked sharper this game. If he improves his finishing he could smash his existing annual goalscoring records.

    Alexis Sanchez

    Played with much more intensity and purpose this game. Almost like Pedros hattrick against Rayo spurred him into action.

    Is it really important to win the ball posession?

    People are looking at the impact of a lack of height, but you're also ignoring the impact of Messi and now Neymar too. We have Pique tall enough to cover a striker, Busi or Song tall enough to cover an attacking midfielder running into the box. The fullbacks being short is the biggest issue, but...

    Is it really important to win the ball posession?

    I would make the point that possession is more important to Barca when the scores are level. If Barca take the lead then counter-attack by definition becomes a natural consequence. In fact it becomes an obvious and intelligent choice. In getting a lead a team earns the right to better protect...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    January is impossible for a player like Iniesta, especially since he would be cup tied for the Champions League.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    4 assists and how many goals? And what, 6 games? And this is with him supplying Pedro and Alexis. No he doesn't have all the same attributes as Messi, but that doesn't matter because he plays the role differently. When Messi is false 9, the whole team plays for him. They get him the ball as...
