    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Pele played in Santos that averaged 4 goals per match compared to Barcelona that average 3, that alone give Pele a 20+ goal advantage over Messi every single season. Romario scored the majority of his goals in the state leagues against Brazilian third, fourth and fifth division teams, it is as...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I think Messi could be an excellent poacher in the box, just like Raul or Muller, but that would obviously be a waste of his talent. The last 3-4 seasons he has scored quite a few goals by just being in the right place at the right moment. However, I think he would be a far greater asset to the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Messis league stats are pretty crazy, he could end up the first player in history to score 50 goals in a league season back to back, it has never been done before by any player in any league. Here are the beasts of goalscoring in league, 1,2 and 3 consecutive seasons, and yep, Messi is one of...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    With the two goals today, Messi is now the record holder in official goals for 5 consecutive seasons. Pele score 269 goals for Santos 1961-1965, Messi now has 271 2008/09-2012/13. He also has the record for 1,2,3 and 4 consecutive seasons. Next up is 6 consecutive seasons. Pele has that record...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    There are no should in football, that is something one learn early on. There are no constants in football, results are not always determined by the strengh or perceived strength of the teams. There are tons of variables that go into the end result of every single match and how it pans out...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    Lots of doom and gloom here. I think for the most part exaggerated and rather short sighted. Let's see what Vilanova has said: Sounds resonable to me, if he dosen't want Hummels then he probably has sound motives for that. Barcelona has a long history of failed over hyped center backs, It...

    If Barca get a new coach, who should it be?

    You know, this is not Football Manager, in the real world it all depend on the manager and his ability, Tito has managed to pull of one of the most impressive league seasons in the clubs history, and this after Spain winning the European Championship with a team consisting of 8 Barcelona players...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Just like Messi and Thiago did. He is inexperienced and this is what it will look like the first 10-15 games. Just like with other newbies they will sit down with him and show him the videos what he does wrong, what he has to improve and give him the time it takes. With Deulofeu at this stage of...

    Gerard Piqué

    De Boer was past his prime when he joined Barcelona, at Ajax he was great yes but at Barcelona he never impressed me, in fact I was utterly disappointed considering how great he was in the early and mid 1990s. He was better than Abelardo for sure but even I'm better than Abelardo. In fact, the...

    Gerard Piqué

    Now or then it doesn't matter, beside Pique and Puyol, the only good central defender this club has seen since Nadal in the mid 90s is Marquez. A bunch have passed and all have failed, Couto, Blanc, Pellegrino, Bogarde, Dehu, Christanval, Coco, Andersson, Thuram, Milito, Caceres and Chygrynskiy...

    Gerard Piqué

    I don't understand all this bashing on Pique, he is one of the best defenders this club has had the last 30-40 years. You want to talk about bad defenders? What about Cristanval, Dehu, Bogarde, Moratalla, Pedraza, Abelardo. Those were fucking jokes compared to Pique.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Actually, la liga was very defensive in the late 1960s and early 1970s, only a few teams managed to score over 50 goals. When FC Barcelona scored 75 goals in the 73-74 season it was the first time since Real Madrid in the 64-65 season that any team scored over 2 goals per match. Few teams even...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    It will depend on other things to, such as injuries, other players performances, if Neymar arrive this summer then in the future the goalscoring will be more eqilibrated between him and Messi rather than Messi scoring 50% of all goals for Barcelona. Also his own motivation will be a factor, can...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    The thing is, he doesn't have to, the stars are all lined up for him. Every time he scores he brakes a new record, he now has two Ronaldo "busters" waiting for him right around the corner.

    Andrés Iniesta

    I agree that Iniesta score higher on the flair scale, he just dominate his opponents in a way few players have since I began watching football many decades ago. His way of floating around like an ice-skater effortlessly in minuscule spaces and an ability to trick his opponent into stupid at...

    Sergio Ramos: "Voy con el Barça cuando juegan con un equipo extranjero"

    It would be a major upset if Barsa landed Ramos. Remember he is from Andalucia, there are many anecdotal stories regarding Catalan and Andalusian footballers (Hierro for example). Lots of hard feelings on the pitch, Andalusian people are Spanish patriots and pretty much hate Catalans. This is...

    Messi's Records - Counting

    When this season is over, Messi will pretty much hold every scoring record on hand in la liga, there are only a few of them left for him until he will have complete monopoly on la liga scoring records. He now has the following la liga records in his possession: Most goals scored in one season...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    If this list is anything to go by, then Messi is just one goal away from another world record, suposedly Teodor Peterek scored 22 goals in 16 consecutive league matches in Polish first division 1937-38. I'm pretty sure this is the world record, unless someone can dig up some obscure league in...
