I didn't hear Afellay or Keita making noise about playing time. I guess that's because the squad has good spirit and is properly managed. It's essential for Barca to have that kind of quality in depth because pressure and amount of games played per season have become too intense. Just look at...

Some people just can't grasp the concept of squad depth.

What he wanted was to poke Pep in the eye, sneakily from behind. He's obviously very envious, deranged person. But he's too much of a coward to the that, so he poked Vilanova. That's probably the reason he wasn't able look Pep in the eye while shaking hands.

Pep didn't rotate much because Barca has to win 99% of the matches to secure the title and while our substitutes are decent there was a significant gap in quality compared to first team. In menaingless matches Pep introduced youngsters and fringe players (ie Kazan at home). He will rotate, that...

There's some seriously quality finishing in the video posted above. That one at Twente outside the box... that's what I was talking about. SAF was also amused by Rossi's finshing talent during his time at United:

Messi does it sometimes, but on too many occasions he tends to do be over elaborate with his dribbling or ends a thrilling run with a shot that is easily blocked. Rossi is more of a natural scorer. Messi is just on another planet.

I guess A. Sanchez and Aguero are superior in terms of pure individual talent & power. They're stronger and better at taking on players. However, there's something about this player. There's a touch of class in a way he moves with the ball, and he's very direct. He has a good footballing brain...

He's very cerebral and technically refined player, with an amazing eye for a long pass. But never was on Xavi's level of quality, and while he's past his prime, he was never mobile or quick enough. Milan found a place for him, gave him protection and he did excellent. But I seriously doubt he...

Where's my man H. Ben Arfa? I wanna hear that "great Tiote splits Busquets in half and replaces Xavi" number. That was quality.

It may look like that to most people, but that type of "body language" or to be more precise particular gesture is, to repeat myself, fairly common in Mediterranean Europe.

If Busquets is speaking truth, then this Mourinho Madrid are even more of a filth than I thought.

That particular gesture when speaking something offensive or derrogative to someone isn't really unusal in Mediterranean I'd say. Fans do it all the time for example. It's not "hiding" gesture really.

Much more likely. From the moment I saw the video it seemed to me that what he said was a phrase (fluency and way of the pronounciation), not 2x repeated word.

:lol: Anyway, regarding Busi:

Because of haters.

He occasionally does a fancy flick or a witty pass, but what he's best at: quick passing, intercepting and closing down is often overlooked. And he's arguably the best at it... Extremely intelligent and rational player. Yaya who?

:lol: I guess he's not the most eye catching player and still prone to make an odd mistake, but how can one not be able to spot the utter brilliance of this boy in terms of spacial awareness, one touch play, ball retention and most of all defensive anticipations? Insane...

Said it all. :worthy: Unfortunately, this kind of misconduct happens all the time on the pitch. Wasn't it reported that Arbeloa insulted Keita in same manner which caused fight, an it's confirmed that Madrid supporters had racist chants aimed at Alves? If Busquets really said it (not certain...

It's true, our team needs players who can get dirty, otherwise cynical teams like current Real would roll over us. What baffles me is how every little incident Barca players make is blown way out of proportions. There is this retarded, almost surrealist narrative (formed in England I'd say) of...
