Atlético de Madrid – Barcelona; Saturday 2pmEST
By: Isaiah |It’s back to La Liga now, with the Copa semis taking a break for a couple of weeks. It’s another trip to the Calderon to face Atletico Madrid, a team sitting in 4th place, 13 points back of Barcelona and 15 points back of big brother Real Madrid, who will be playing Recreativo at the [...]
Copa: Barcelona 1 – 1 Valencia (Deification Edition)
By: Isaiah |The game came down to the hands of a man Ray Hudson screamed was a “black jungle cat” and yet another late, late, late heroic strike from Xavi. If not for Timo Hildebrand’s freakish ability to tell where the ball was going and his absurd luck, the game would have been 4-0 or even 5-0. [...]
Copa del Rey! Copa del Rrrrrreeeeyyyyyyy!!!!
By: Isaiah |Remember this is what happened last time we played a Copa del Rey semifinal at the Camp Nou:
Tot el camp
és un clam
som la gent blaugrana
tant se val d’on venim
si del sud o del nord
ara estem d’acord, estem d’acord
una bandera ens agermana
blaugrana al vent,
un crit valent
tenim un nom,
el sap tothom
BARÇA ! BARÇA ! BAAAARÇA !
Jugadors,
seguidors,
tots units [...]
Barcelona 5 – 1 Levante (Holy Balls Edition)
By: Isaiah |Squashed between several big matches in the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and even La Liga itself, was a little visit from old Levante. Any thought that Barcelona would have a post-Celtic hangover was dashed early, then reignited for lack of anything better to talk about midway through the first half by the asinine GolTV [...]
Marc Muniesa: Keep an Eye on this One
By: Isaiah |I know I’m usually pretty bad about exploring the youth ranks of the great and wonderful club that is FC Barcelona, but sometimes when a player makes a case for himself as the potential future of a club, you’ve got to sit up and take notice. Because our search feature doesn’t seem to work, I’m [...]
Barcelona – Levante: Sunday 1pm EST
By: Isaiah |The fortune teller in me is saying the end of this weekend will be just like it began: 5 points back of Real Madrid, but a few inches closer in terms of goal differential. Not that that matters, as we learned last year. RM plays Getafe at home while we play Levante at the Camp [...]
Celtic 2 – 3 Barcelona: Review (All Hail Boruc Edition)
By: Isaiah |I watched the game with wild anticipation, thinking that at any moment the Blaugrana tide would finally crush Celtic’s defenses and the rout would be on. I was, of course, wrong about that, but only because of two defensive mistakes by Barcelona that Celtic were able to take advantage of. Of which they were capable [...]
Preview: Barcelona – Real Zaragoza; Saturday 4pm EST
By: Isaiah |So I know it’s a day early, but the preview for the first of many must-win games is here and I’m leaving town tonight on a mini-vacaton to the west coast. San Francisco and its lack of slushysnowycrap will be a welcome relief to both my immune system and my eyes, which are tiring of [...]
Sevilla – Barcelona: Saturday, 4pm EST
By: Isaiah |Well, folks, it’s that time of the week again, when I roll out the fabulous and 100% correct preview of things to come. Why even bother watching the game, when you can just read this preview and know exactly what’s coming? I mean, really, there’s not even any need to stream this blog, no downloads [...]
Barcelona 1 – 0 Osasuna: Holy Bejesus Hay Liga Edition
By: Isaiah |Going from a bored, downtrodden fan wishing his team would show some life to a beaming, screaming, semi-intoxicated imbecile with a blaugrana shirt on takes approximately half of a second. That’s the time, by my official stopwatch, between when I realized the ball was going to fall to Xavi and when Xavi pegged a picture-perfect [...]
