I’ve written one El Clasico preview before and I titled it “Mucho Morbo: Barcelona-Real Madrid”. I don’t think there’s ever a moment that the word morbo is an inappropriate description for El Clasico Español. Check out that previous post for a definition of morbo, if you don’t already know what it means.
Champions League Draw: It’s Celtic!
By: Isaiah | 4 Comments
There should be no doubt whatsoever that Barcelona got a break in the Champions League round of 16 draw. Celtic may be a good club, but they are no Arsenal, Liverpool, or Roma. They are probably better than Rangers this year, but not by much, so I think it’s safe to say we can expect […]
Some thoughts before the real thoughts

You’d think it’d be hard to organize your thoughts before such a huge game as the one coming up this weekend, but the reality is that it’s extremely easy: derby derby derby derby derby.
Think of it this way: This is your brain; this is your brain on derby:
I watched the RM-Osasuna game yesterday (it’s being […]
Barcelona: a statistical analysis of the defense
By: Isaiah | 9 Comments
The question of Barcelona’s defensive capabilities has been brought up before, in comments, and I’d like to take a moment or 10 to delve into the murky depths of statistical comparisons.

Heeeeey, it’s the final group stage game and it means absolutamente nada in terms of standings. But it does provide Barcelona the chance to show off its young guns in European competition as well as help its recently-returned stars recover some form. It looks like we’ll start tonight with Eto’o-Bojan-Gio up front, which is a […]
Barcelona 2 - 1 Deportivo La Coruña: Review (Don’t Ignore the Overlap Edition)
By: Isaiah | 11 Comments
I know it’s late and I know it’s coming on the final Champions League matchday, but I promised a review and a review is what you’ll get. At least it’s better than some meandering post about whether or not Ronaldinho’s latest on-field conversation with Rijkaard suggests he’ll be moving to Chelsea come January. Shut up, […]

It’s been brought to my attention that several posters here have been having a hard time getting around the spam filter. I’ve spoken with the management (aka Martha) and been show a trick or 3 on how to deal with this. The shortlist of posters I’ve noticed having issues are Bobby G, Ciaran, and john, […]

Sometimes it seems like taking a week off from games is an eternity, especially in the middle of these seasons where the team is also playing in the Champions League, the domestic cup, and most of the squad is on their various international squads. This is one of those moments in the season that could […]
