"the most promising young attacking player we have to bring on" Last time I checked, you cannot bring on banned/loaned players as subs.

I think people are more upset that the most promising young attacking player we have to bring on cannot even hit re target from a sitter. If he hit it straight at the keeper I would have sympathy for him, because that would be a lack of confidence/experience. The fact that he couldn't even...

I don't know how people can justify this. It would be fine if he missed the odd chance. But he misses every chance. Two of the easiest chances yesterday were thrown away by him. He is no where near as good as what players like messi or Pedro were when they broke into the team. He has shown no...

I can't just be barca fans that think the ref was ridiculous right? Neymar was beaten on and off the ball multiple times, and the ref was hesitant to give them yellows, but is happy to give a straight red to Mascherano.

Fantastic finish by Suarez, hopefully see more clinical strikes like that from him in upcoming weeks.

A draw against Roma and a tough win against Bayern Leverkusen. "Somehow". Why does no one remember the games with Pep when we played terrible and scraped a victory? Look on the bright side guys, we could be Arsenal fans.

We should still be able to score goals with Neymar and Suarez. Let's just stay optimistic. As a side note, does anyone have a decent stream? Don't have BT sport...

I really don't understand why FIFA doesn't match the football season with the award. It would be much easier to make comparisons at the end of a full footballing season, rather than trying to compare the second half of last season and the first half of the next. Then again, I don't understand...

I'm finding it hard to deny this. Man city obviously breach financial fair play rules, get a slap on the wrist with a minuscule fine (bribe). We have a youth academy that produces players like messi and FIFA are out for blood. Edit: FIFA officially rejected it yesterday.

Looks pretty certain we won't be allowed to register him. FIFA are like a fascist regime.

Midfield isn't good enough when rakitic doesn't play. Iniesta has shown he isn't good enough to play at the top level week in week out. Can wait for turan to come in and shake things up.

Don't be stupid. He could easily play CM for us. When Iniesta plays CM he is effectively a AM.

Why don't we just pay the bribes to FIFA like man city and Manchester United do? I still can't believe we were punished for the youth academy that gave us players like Iniesta, Xavi, and messi, potentially the best player in history. Meanwhile shit English teams pay extortionate transfer fees...

Was wondering how long I would have to look before finding the obligatory barca forum "we got lucky" post.

The EPL is a weak league though. Hard to judge teams. The best indicator is how poor all English teams have been in the CL over the last few years. City are the best in the league and every CL performance they have looked average.

Problem with judging by shirts is that at the moment, I would say far more young people support Barcelona than Real Madrid, outside of Spanish speaking countries anyway. So those kids are more inclined to have a Messi shirt than a Ronaldo shirt. I think the vast majority of older people...

It doesn't work that way though. It's the exact same as people complaining that Xavi has no penetration in his game now. The reality is that the players running into space to receive the ball are the ones dictating whether the ball is passed forwards or sideways, not the actual passer. Players...

"A failed vertical pass is better than a completed sideways pass," Wtf? Whoever comes up with this shit knows nothing about football or Barcelona's style. Passing is a percentage game, the reward has to be worth the risk. Otherwise following that edict would result in English long ball football.

If they are truly offering that amount of money then I think new regulations should be brought in to put a cap on things. It's getting ridiculous. How is what barca done in the youth academy (the youth academy that gave the world players like Xavi, Iniesta, Messi) so bad that we deserve a...
