Yeah, he also puked in the Venezuela game too.

I absolutely hope he stays well clear whilst Berlusconi is in power. That despicable man doesn't deserve the success, drive, values and intellect of a man like Guardiola. Silvio is a contemptible human being.

To me that just sounds like Balague making shit up. It doesn't sound like Messi, and why he would he snd a text when he could just talk to Pep in private later?

No, the reason Leo can play every game is because he's the one player in the system who is told he doesn't have to press and track back. To someone who doesn't know Barcelona and Guardiola it might appear that Leo is being lazy. Off the ball he walks around the pitch, will occasionally look to...

You know exactly why the point was made. Football is a very different beast to 60 years ago. Tactically teams are far better now. They are better organised. They are better trained. With the advent of TV wall to wall coverage there are very few surprises in teams anymore. The players are far...

But guys he's not as fast as last year... ;)

Amongst our best players tonight. Happy Birthday Xavi!

I thought he played well. Worked hard, kept the ball well, ran at the Madrid defence and caused problems throughout. He put on the first goal and won the foul from a great run that lead to the second and should have seen Lass sent off. Xavi and Alves were the stars of the show however.

You could see that first goal really meant a lot to him. I'm sure the lack of away goals has been gnawing at his psyche and hopefully this hat trick is a sign that Barca are finally going to get their league campaign back on track. If Messi is scoring regularly away from home then with our...

I don't think there should really be concern over acceleration/pace, as it is was there as little as a month ago. My only issue with Messi this season has been his work rate, particularly against lesser teams and that's a job for the coach to sort out. The thing about Messi is that Barcelona are...

It's from Sports Illustrated. There is not a problem with pace this season as such. It was there vs Santos & vs Atletico earlier this season. It's possible he's carrying an injury or knock that means he can't play at 100% speed right now. Given that he's played football pretty much non stop for...

Don't feed the trolls huh? ;)

First of all it's intelligence, not 'intelligens'. I'm going to assume English isn't your first language so I'll give you a little leeway on this, but I'd suggest using a rudimentary spell checker such as the one built into Google Chrome to give you a helping hand. As for perspective I have...

:messi:

Having re-watched this video to confirm my position I am now certain than Ben Arfa is trolling us.

Poor? In an attacking sense perhaps, but that didn't seem to be his role tonight. He pressed, barely gave the ball away under pressure, contributed a marvellous assist. Did he go on surging runs? not really, but there was little space to do so. Did he screw up any chances on goal? Nope, because...

A lot of this debate seems to filter around what the definition of a playmaker is; Is a playmaker the player who sets the tempo of the game, who uses passes to set the team moving forward, switches play and links all parts of the team together (defence, midfield, attack)? Or is a playmaker...

Messi is on the bench. Think he asked Pep if he could play by any chance? ;-)

Are people on here seriously defending Suarez? It's fairly simple: If you are calling someone by the colour of their skin during a heated conversation then you are doing it wrong. Whether you are inherently racist or not you have massively fucked up. It doesn't matter what country you are from...

It makes sense in the short term, because we have short term financial issues. a) We get cash now to help pay off debts, service interest payments etc b) It reduces our wage bill, which is larger than RM's and needs to be reduced gradually to prevent future issues and c) The plan is in 2 years...
