I am sick today, so I’ll merely be posting this from Futbolitis as seen in Sport:
Translation:
Panel 1: Lineup chosen by Rijkaard
Panel 2: Lineup chosen by the fans
Panel 3: The lineup Capello would choose (autocar = bus)

Well, there you have it: Thierry Henry has scored as an FC Barcelona player. After subbing on at half time his first touch became his first chance on goal, which is a pretty promising start, but it wasn’t until a 90th minute penalty — and really it was technically from open play since the penalty […]
A Brief Study of Barcelona’s Formations and Happy Anagrams: MIRTH, ZAP ME
By: Isaiah | 18 Comments
There’s little else Barcelona fans seem to be discussing these days and with a couple of requests to do so myself, I’ve decided to weigh in on the weightiest of issues: the roster. It’s fat, it’s probably not all that happy, and it’s supposedly working harder than ever towards the six trophies they were supposed […]

Normally, this would be the perfect moment to make a crack about Brazil’s supposedly terrible airline industry and how it caused Ronaldinho to be delayed so long he got a week’s worth of scruff on his cheeks while sitting in airports, but somehow it just doesn’t seem quite appropriate on the heels of news that […]

Surprise! Spanish daily doormat of a newspaper Marca has announced that Iniesta is moving to Madrid. Besides surprising Iniesta himself, who said his heart lies with Barcelona, Marca has forgotten Real Madrid as well, it seems. I’m sure that paying €60m to buyout Iniesta’s contract is exactly how you’d want to get your next midfielder […]

News in Brief: Giuly to Roma, Ezquerro to Athletic, and the comedy of Galliani
By: Isaiah | 14 Comments
Ludovic Giuly has signed with Roma, passed his medical, and is gone from Barcelona for €3m, plus up to €1.5m more due if Roma qualifies for next year’s Champions League. It isn’t a surprise that he’s on his way out, but going to Italy seems strange when he could have gone home to France. I […]
The Drenthe Question
By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
There seems to be little debate that Royston Drenthe is the next great thing at left back and, because the Spanish press believes he is worth several articles a day (granted, during a time in which Barcelona has been the center of very little news; even the Chivu news has been, shockingly, somewhat constrained recently), […]

Gabriel Milito transfers to Barcelona!
By: Isaiah | 15 Comments
Yay! Gaby Milito is going to sign with Barcelona! If you can read Spanish, here is Real Zaragoza’s official announcement of the transfer. That’s great news because we needed more defensive help and so far we’ve brought in Eric Abidal, Yaya Toure, and now Gaby Milito! Despite spending €24m on a striker, the club has […]
