Neymar - For the first time in quite a while, we have someone besides Messi who is can dribble past players, has pace, and is a good goalscorer(Alexis has these qualities but they are inconsistent).
Pique - FINALLY he put in a very very good performance and used his height to win many aerial duels which I thought he had forgotten how to do even though he's pretty tall. He'll need to be able to win aerial duels if we face Bayern or Dortmund in the CL.
Valdes - Again with a brilliant performance although he could've maybe saved their goal.
XAVI (And I'm not shocked at all he hasn't been applauded more here. His subtle, but masterful performances are always forgotten or overlooked.)
Iniesta
Pique
Neymar - the first clasico: MOTM, a goal, an assist, 2 key passes. He was a constant threat to the opposition, a real gem!
Iniesta - the Don showed us some of his magic today
Pique - the Piquenbauer is back!
1. Neymar - #11 for Barca outshone the #11 and #7 for Real. Glad he chose us, the boy has fit like a glove and what a classico debut! Goal+Assist+Win.
2. Valdes - should of had a clean sheet, but that toe save off a sliding Khedira and that blistering save off Ronaldo were noteworthy. Held the goal like a true Catalan warrior today.
3. Xavi - displayed some amazing skill and ball control today. Classic Xavi orchestrating today.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
