Who cares what Mourinho's puppet, or his puppet master have to say about Guardiola. The fact that the club, its fans, many contemporaries and neutrals have been praying for Guardioala to stay show how vital Guardiola is to the club and football in general. Of course the puppet would say...

Buyout isn't the same as value. I think Thiago Alcantara has a buyout clause of 90m.

I don't watch many teams to decide who is good for us. I like Athletic and watch some of their games, Javi Martinez is the best available fit for Barcelona in my opinion. Since he's comfortable playing both as a centerback and a midfielder, it's an even more attractive choice. He's about 5 years...

There's one place at the moment where he can apply his style and that is Manchester City. City has two creative midfielders in Silva and Nasri along with two technical forwards in Aguero and Tevez. Balloteli has no place in Pep's team. The thing is, City will likely win major titles in the...

I don't. I said I'm not so sure about it. I know what Pep is capable of and I was confident he could claim the title again seeing how unlucky we were this season. I don't know what Tito is capable of and this brings an air of uncertainty. I also explained in a previous post in this thread why I...

Of course it was to be expected, but the announcement came at a dark time. You can't deny that there was an emotional attachment to Pep, Messi and the other players in general. The sense of being a family separates Barcelona from almost every other football team. Pep promoted that as well. He...

1. 2-3 years is an eternity. 2. It will not be the same. 3. I do not want us to concede another title to the scum who leads Madrid. I was sure that had Pep decided to stay, we would win the league next season. Not so sure anymore. I too have watched every single game he's been in charge of the...

We still have five more games with Pep at the helm. The players must beat their asses off in that final. There is a good chance we see him win yet another trophy before he leaves. That should be of some consolation.

I don't remember the last time I was this sad. I knew it had to end, but the fact that he leaves without winning the League and/or the CL makes it harder to digest. He deserves more. He and his team gave us so many memorable moments. What a team! I have been pessimistic about our chances this...

"I won't keep the titles, I will keep the memories of personal relations, what we lived together. That has been the best part." What a painful week! I had lots of problems these two weeks and it was followed by those difficult and undeserved losses against Chelsea and Madrid. Now Pep leaving...

How epic it could have been! A Masia kid putting the title in Barcelona's hands.

That was a perfect performance.

The way Adriano wasted that chance is a real shame. :(

His presence tonight made a big difference in that mess of a midfield. When he first appeared to become a regular, I didn't think he would become such a vital part of the team. Props to Pep for nurturing him and helping him realize his potential.

I thought he played rather well, but not great. He was more impressive before officially becoming a first-teamer. He definitely assumes the role of the playmaker far better than Cesc has done. He is also more skilled on the ball. One thing I'm almost sure of, he can never become Xavi, or get...

Absolutely magnificent performance from Cuenca. People, he was playing against Milan in a decisive CL game! Passing, dribbling, pressing, and crossing: all were top class. And that yellow he got? That was a perfect foul which effectively nullified a potentially dangerous counterattack. I'm glad...

I'm liking Roma. Scored a good goal that little guy. For a forward, his passing is top class. Those Masia kids are taught well.

The season starts with the league, you are almost always in the league, you play league matches regularly from the start of the season until the end, you know the schedule of the league and you have 38 games to play. So it's the main competition for any club. Champions League is an elusive...

Laughed hard at that vid. I guess that's where using the word "epic" is appropriate.

I don't have enough knowledge to make claims here, but I don't think the favoritism is because of all the bitching. Surely it must be Madrid's direct influence within the RFEF, having members and whatnot, that results in these lenient punishments?
