    Tito: "Valencia are dangerous"

    Both Valencia and At. Madrid are threats. I wouldn't underestimate either one of them.

    5 - Carles Puyol

    Okay, I feel our defense has been mediocre ever since Puyol's major injury. We also lack his Tarzan confidence, powerful leadership, and crackling headers. Barça must send him (+ two scouts) into the jungle to find his successor. Preferably someone that can crush poacher skulls with his knuckles.

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    Very true. I could just be taking this too far :) But I can't help stop thinking Coentrao's 4 game ban is just a distraction. Having Tito on the sidelines is much more important than Real Madrid missing Coentrao for 4 games. But again, you're more likely correct that the refs just want to...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    I second that. Btw, enough with the supercopa. We didn't win, though we should of. So no biggie. Valdes, Masch, and Pique all gifted a goal. We could of taken it home with a 3-1 aggregate. So let's move on. Let's focus on Sunday and try to beat Madrid's Football Federation.

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    To add to the eye poking incident, two game ban is perfect for Real Madrid to catch back up if we draw or lose these next two games. I just don't get it.

    Super Cup: Barca - Real 3-2

    If @ Bernabeu: Any tie: Real Madrid 0-0 (1-1, 2-2) Barcelona : We win Real Madrid 1 - 0 Barcelona : Tied on goals, but they win because they scored 2 in our home (which is why the vv goal giveaway was so bad) Real Madrid 1 - 2 Barcelona : We win, because we have more goals overall Real...

    Tito Vilanova will be FC Barcelona's head manager through 2014

    I hope Tito experiments a lot less with his line-up than Pep, and experiments more with broader direct attack strategy. Not that I don't love our tiki-taka, but I think sometimes this team just needs more of a direct approach to the game, so we're just not kicking the ball horizontally for 90...

    2012-2013 : What is needed ?

    lol. nice. I agree. 1) Stop using 3-4-3 2) Go back to 4-3-3 and put Messi back at RW, Sanchez at LW, Villa at Striker (Pedro first to substitute for LW or RW) 3) Stop using Xavi and Fabregas together 4) Find a deadly striker 5) Find a back-up CB that will eventually play next to Pique after...

    Penalty Kick Count: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

    9 it is. I wonder if they will finish with 20 penalties and us with 4.

    Penalty Kick Count: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

    I don't think this is anything to really start an argument over, but I was just curious to see the actual numbers of penalties rewarded to RM vs Barcelona. Mostly because we all get that weird feeling that they get dug out of games by the help of refs. I'm not saying it's true. It's a big...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    Yeh, that's pretty accurate when I view a RM game. Opponent is up 1 goal. RM gets a penalty called their way. I turn off the tv and deny the game was fixed. I can't recall how many games I've seen like that.

    Injuries and suspensions

    Iniesta is out that long? Man, that sucks. I guess the only silver lining is that Thiago will get a lot of playing time.

    Injuries and suspensions

    What's our current injury list? I know Puyol picked up a knock just after getting back, plus not match fit. Pique still has a few weeks? But practicing with the squad now. Iniesta still 2 weeks? Sanchez still 3 weeks? Ibi out for the year? Fabregas 3 weeks? And Maxwell just got back...
