Barcelona – Deportivo La Coruña Saturday 4pm ET
By: Isaiah |Barcelona returns to action at home as the international break ends. A lot of blaugrana players were away on international duty, some of them even stirring up a little controversy by having his number switched. Regardless of what number he’s wearing, Ronaldinho can play, which I think Chile now understands to be true. Iniesta scored [...]
Ronaldinho Comes to America
By: Isaiah |It’s the international break and so I too took a break from the action. I’m back now and here’s a little roundup of all that happened with Barcelona’s international team players:
Spain: Iniesta and Xavi (Xabi Alonso 60′) started in Spain’s 2-1 win over Denmark. The win puts Spain into 4th place in the group F [...]

Cule Babies!
By: Isaiah |We all know the best thing to do with a small child is indoctrinate him or her into the wonderful world of our favorite club.

News: Deco out for three weeks; Rijkaard wants to stay
By: Isaiah |Barcelona will be without Deco for at least three weeks as he recovers from surgery on the middle finger of his right hand. The midfielder injured it during a tackle on Saturday, a tackle for which he earned a yellow card.
This is sobering news as Deco just returned from suspension and the blaugrana certainly weren’t [...]
Recreativo Huelva 0 – 4 Barcelona: Match Review
By: Isaiah |There is apparently something wonderful to be said about the 4-3-3; that something was four goals against a decent squad on Saturday as Barcelona won their first away game since something like 1979 (if you’re actually keeping track at home, the last away win was 4 months ago, though the blaugrana have yet to lose [...]

Slow Week equals Rumor Time!
By: Isaiah |The next game for the blaugrana is this Saturday away to Recreativo Huelva (3pm EST) and after El Clasico, that’s just not really a big deal. It is, of course, in that all games are a big deal and must be won, but there’s an emotional letdown after Real Madrid comes to town, especially after [...]
Top of the Table and Never Looking Back…Maybe.
By: Isaiah |Whereas for most of Europe, silly things tend to happen now and then, in Spain “now and then” seems to mean every weekend. Take this past weekend for example. Barcelona and Real Madrid started off the big boy games with a down-right awesome 3-3 draw that verged on being utterly spectacular (and no doubt would [...]
