Well, 3 defeats in a row after 14 years, but I'm still positive! 
Let's take 5 wins in a row in remaining games in La Liga and everything will be OK.arty1:

Right, a dreadful season has passed, and things are looking mighty exciting!
If persistent rumors are to be taken seriously, Lucho has some seriously awesome ideas for the team. Transfer targets are looking good, Ter Stegen is tied up, we'll again have an Alcántara in the squad, PSG "stole" Sideshow Bob and whisked him off to La-la Land and all in all our much needed (r)evolution seems to be in full swing.
Color me giddy with excitement!

We could have both Ter Stegen and Benatia before the transfer window even opens. Looks like we can finally have a good transfer window.

I am super happy David Luiz is not coming our way.

We all know what happened the last time we went trophyless
It was a season of close margins this year. The defence improved a lot(48 conceded compared to 70 the season before). That despite the injury to Valdes at the business end of the season. We were competitive in every game unlike the 4-0 to Bayern and the 0-3 to RM last season.
If Tata was a stronger character I think we would have won the league at least and maybe had a shot at the CL but he gave in to the politics and compromised his ideas. Hopefully with Lucho being a Barca man he'll have more support and have some leeway to implement his ideas and stick with them. Hopefully we get a good defender and there's also a realisation that Cesc is not the player to rise to the big occasion and his place in the squad reduced appropriately(or even sell him)

Enrique also has a way stronger character than Tata, so the board won't be able to push him around.

In 6 days we will start our pre-season for the 14/15 season. We'll see a bunch of new names, fresh blood and promising youngsters who'll are hungry for success, a trait which nearly everyone lacked in the past season.
The last season was bullshit in terms of titles and beautiful football but we managed to get some decent results despite the problems we had on as well as off the pitch.
Messi had a bad season but still managed to score 28 goals in the league. Pedro scored a lot of goals in the first half of the season too. We saw some Iniesta magic and Bartra stepped up, he took the responsibility and showed his true potential, his value and his dedication for Barcelona.
The chapter ''Tata'' is closed, a dark chapter in our history, especially after our immense success over the past years.
Many of our players suffered a huge loss in the WC. Spain got knocked out in the group-stage. The whole world complained about ''Tiki-Taka''. Lucho probably saw the match and realized which problems a team which plays ''Tiki-Taka'' has without proper pressing, movement and (for me) the most important thing: Dedication.
Lucho was appointed as our new coach back in May and since then he spend nearly 10 hours a day in the sports centre, he worked on our new team, on the new Barca era and he will lead it. He and the world's best players. We still have Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Neymar and soon we'll have Suarez. Along with such world-class players we introduce youngsters into the first-team. The thought of Rafinha who develops into a crucial part of our new midfield is mouthwatering, isn't it? Who doesn't want to see Deulofeu alongside Messi, Suarez and Neymar? I'm sure that they will bring us immense joy and I see a bright future for our club.
Zubizarreta and Enrique made some great signings. We are about to sign one of the best players in the world after we signed a midfielder who surprised and entertained everybody during the past season. We've signed one of the most promising goalkeepers in the world who is already great but has many many years ahead of him and many people know that he has the potential to be the world's best in a couple of years.
Moreover, we signed a decent GK who impressed everyone who had doubts about this signing during his time at the WC. Finally, we don't have to rely on Pinto anymore (who gave everyone of us headache after headache).
Legends will leave the club. Players who are symbols of the golden era under Pep. Players like Valdes whose immense performance in Paris got us the CL title. Players like Puyol who is a true idol on and off the pitch. He always gave his all on the pitch, he was a true leader and a wonderful person. Players like Xavi who were the architects of Barcelona. Without him we wouldn't have been able to entertain the whole world with our beautiful tiki-taka.
Now, it's time for a new era, without players like Xavi, Puyol and Valdes. Will we miss them? Of course. Will we forget them? Of course not. But maybe it's the right step for us to move on, to look forward to regain our place at the very top of the world back. We'll make them proud because they'll always be a part of Barcelona and the best thing would be to dedicate our future titles to the players who build Barca, who made the club to what it is today.
The ''CB-issue'' is something everyone is angry about. Rightfully so. However, a strong team performance, high-pressing and a well-balanced team could bring us our power back. 1 or 2 CB's will arrive and Bartra will step up once again. He'll proove that he deserves to play in our defense. I'm very optimistic about the performances of our defense next season.
I want to dedicate this text to everyone who is doubtful about the next season. I spent a few hours watching old videos. Videos of the Pep-era but also videos about great games of the past season. Games like the 4-3 against Real or the 2-0 against City. Games which give me hope.
Think about Neymar who gives everyone an immense joy when he plays. Who is beautiful to watch.
Think about Suarez who sacrifices himself on the pitch. Who always gives his all to win games and trophies.
Think about Iniesta who makes the impossible possible. The magician. The Don.
And finally..think about Messi. The best player in the world who makes every game special.
Think about the youngsters who'll give everything to impress Barca's supporters and think about Lucho who is a true leader, close to his players, fitness-fanatic and ambitious and passionate.
Think about our future. Think about the players we have. Don't give a single fuck about our board because in the end, our performances on the pitch is what made us famous and brought us to the top of the world. And now, we have this destination again. Think about the early 2007/08. We were down, beaten and nobody believed anymore. Pep arrived and brought us the most successful years in the club's history.
I don't want to hail the board or everything around it but we are Barcelona. We have the best players in the world and you can't imagine how excited I am to sit in front of my computer, open the Barcaforum chat and watch every game of my club, to support our players till death and to celebrate trophies and the football we'll play.
Visca Barca!
