Well, it’s the last preview of the 2007/08 season and it can’t come fast enough for most of us. We all want to get on with the changes, with the new era that will be beginning at the final whistle. But this is could be our last chance to see several of our players in […]

Well, it’s out with the old, in with the new. The new, of course, just happens to be an old face around the Camp Nou: Josep “Pep” Guardiola.
But who is Pep Guardiola and what does he bring to the table? First, let’s discuss what he has already brought to the table in the past. Born […]

I’m not generally one for too much sentiment when it comes to sports. I bid players and coaches farewell about as emotionally as I do laundry, but somehow this is different. Franklin Edmundo Rijkaard will certainly be missed around these parts, despite the on-again-off-again relationship most of us have had with him over the last […]
Barca 2-Mallorca 3, a.k.a. “Too much ugliness all around”
By: Kevin | 47 Comments
Must look good in blue and red, great first touch mandatory. Must be a team player and a fast learner. Patience and ability to learn new systems is essential. Catalan skills desired, but not essential. Please apply to:
Pep G

Barca vs Mallorca, or “Here’s to happier times,” Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, (5pm on GolTV)

Okay. Time to play out the string, to find out what kind of fans we have at the Camp Nou. We’re bound for third place, and will have to play our way into the Champions League next season. Frank Rijkaard and Ronaldinho, two faces who came to epitomize all that this side stands for and […]
Meet the New Manager
By: Isaiah | 45 Comments
It has been officially announced from here to Timbuktu, Josep “Pep” Guardiola will be taking over as manager of Barcelona on June 30, replacing Frank Rijkaard. I’ll do both a bio for Pep and a goodbye for Frankie in the next couple of days as I, like most others, ignore the remaining two games.
Evil Empire 4-Barca 1, or “Pimp slap is front of the hand, back of the head.”

That’s what we did. Rolled over and showed our goddamned bellies like a submissive dog, at a time when we should have been playing for a bit of pride, playing for the colors, fighting like savages for at least some salvation for this season of pustulence.
Instead, we get played off the pitch by a team […]
El Clásico!
By: Isaiah | 92 Comments
I know that the rumors about who is leaving and who is arriving are flying thick and fast from all over the world (should we get Anakin Skywalker Rodrigo Palacio? How about Jozy Altidore, David Villa, or Peter Parker?), but there is something much more important afoot: El Clásico! Seriously, though, it’s the most important […]

Another week, another crucial injury, another rumor, another mega signing on the way. It’s just humdrum life at FC Barcelona, eh?
First the real news and then the speculation: Gabi Milito has suffered an ACL tear that will require surgery and will put him on the sideline for around 6 months. The injury occurred during the […]
Barca 6-Valencia 0 or “Like unto a peacock.”
By: Kevin | 16 Comments
That’s right. Just like a peacock. You heard me. Beautiful plumage, lovely to look at, and what does it mean? Is there satisfaction in having beaten Valencia, the team that took our most realistic chance at silver this season, like a gong? Dunno, but note the “celebration” after Thierry Henry’s second goal, then ask the […]
