Xavi Hernández

[Bilal Khan]

We had a long discussion on the semantics of chanting "mono" in Spain and to be fair, when it comes to darker skinned players it's an automatically a racist chant whether you mean or not. Such are the implications.

But in Marcelo's case I think its not about the colour of his skin but his face overall.. either way, disappointing.

I know what it's all about, it's about him being a twat in overall. However, in Spanish "mono" is regardless a racis chant no matter how hard you try to prove others you meant it differently.

Xavi wasn't that good last night alltho he was often marked very tightly, but he still looked very slow and clumsy, hes obviously not 100% wonder if its the lack of pre season or his injury.

Did Xavi even play yesterday? Must have borrowed Harry Potter's invisibility cloak

"We're not in the best physical condition but we have still beaten to Real Madrid, who had thoroughly prepared for the Supercopa."

You naughty little thing

I like that!

Even when Xavi isn't making those penetrating passes (which he did do by the way yesterday.... not sure what game you watching) he still dictates the flow of the game without even touching the ball. That's how good the guy is.

To be honest, Xavi's comments are annoying as fuck, but the consistency at which he delivers them at is admirable. A bigger troll than Roberto Carlos.

Xavi is SO cheeky and sincere in what he says it's almost impossible to hate the guy

The pass to carve open the entire Malaga defense that set up the Leo winner(season 09/10) is still my fav one.

There will never be another Xavi.

I love the one vs Pana, where he has his head up for ages and makes a gesture to Messi to start running superb. #11 is just too good.

That assist against Panathinaikos, is supremely indicative of the man's class and inteligence. His ability to judge and make the right decision.
