El Mariachi

Xavi is just keeping the proverbial CM seat warm for when Cesc arrives to claim it as his own. Cesc was destined for the CM role on FCB. the football gods decreed it eons ago.

as nice as that sounds, I'm sure that Pep would rather win the CL in Madrid. which is still a distinct possibility. no one said this season would be easy, but we have the quality to pull it out.

spot fucking on. esp that last sentence. clubs like FCB and RMadrid will see their transfer budgets go down by 20m-30m Euros, or have to pick up an extra game or two on their tours, run a bit of a loss now and simply renegotiate their TV/endorsement deals up to compensate for this extra cost...

wow ... that is a big deal.

Brandi Chastain after scoring the winning PK to win the Women's World Cup for the US Wilt Chamberlain after scoring 100 points on March 2 1962 in an NBA game. Still a record to this day. Scottie Pippen carrying Michael Jordan off of the court after MJ's epic performance in game 5 of the...

great thread, Eddy. Football: I really only have eyes for FCB. Otherwise my affiliations have been player based, for instance I supported Fiorentina when Batistuta was there, and Arsenal when Bergkamp was there. I'm going to start getting in to TFC next season, as I'll finally have the cash to...

where would any of us fit in, for that matter.

Pep doesn't like Toure? are you guys serious? when the CL was on the line, Pep put Toure at CB against Chelsea and then vs ManU. let me type that again. In the Champions League Final, Pep put Yaya "DM" Toure as CENTRE BACK. If that doesn't show that Pep has the utmost, absolute, unwavering...

LOL!! FCB hasn't even hit their stride, yet they are on top of La Liga. for all the stress this team causes, they are going to be awesome (Cescsome) when they put it together.

I can see why you get bullied.

TEAM FAIL. not just on Rafa.

Deco How is there no thread for this guy? god-Deco was untouchable!! the perfect blend of fire and ice. His passion and his desire to win was on display every game he played up to the end, and the coldness and efficiency that he ripped teams apart with was simply a joy and a privilege to watch...

Mark Van Bommel was a fucking legend. He was an absolute dirty bastard, but he was the type of dirty bastard we needed. it is no coincidence that our midfield was overrun after he left. Just like Toure is needed to cover Xaviesta, Van Bommel allowed Deco and Ronaldinho to do whatever they...

c'mon Thierry ... step it the *expletive deleted* up!!

well apparently there is a better team than RMadrid in segunda b ...

I think I learn more in your posts than I do reading BBC/SkySports/Soccernet combined. and the CR Armani/deal is a symbol of why everything is falling apart on the pitch.

let's hope they try the "100 new coaches" strategy before considering the "buy defense" strategy. good post, as well.

interesting polls. no love for Hugo Sanchez?

I think Manu should stay. Perez is right. he needs time to work out the kinks in his system and get Cristiano back. Plus, rather than investing in defense that would give RMadrid a better chance of winning a tourney or two, CR is the face of Armani. thank freaking goodness.
