Another day, another game, it seems. My preview-producing fingers have been quite busy this season, as we go from league to cup to Champions League and back to regular domestic league with a brutal quickness that suggests, were my fingers players, that fatigue would rapidly take over. But, fortunately for all involved, my fingers are [...]

Mmmmmm! Smells like an away goal. Isaiah was spot on about his prediction of the final score, and truth to tell, we got away with one, sort of.
What the hell was up with that first half? We were on the back foot, Lyon were running around like crazy people playing our game. You could almost [...]

Here we go, folks. It’s the Champions League and it’s back with a big honking dose of Olympique Lyonnais. I’m sure Inara or John will have a solid preview of this match posted soon (if not before this preview goes up), but don’t worry, I’m here to set the record straight, Barça style, or at [...]

Ye gods, this one felt bad going in. That we let a match of football degenerate into a knife fight means that we deserved what we got, which was a loss.
Espanyol came in 20th in the table. As in rock bottom. As in a one hair off a dog’s ass away from relegation unless they [...]

The fourth — and last — Barcelona derby of the season is upon us. Espanyol make the arduous trek across town to the Camp Nou to face off against Messi and his friends in a battle of first against worst. Barcelona are, of course, 10 points up in the league with 60 points while Espanyol [...]

By: Isaiah | 141 Comments
I just realized, right now, why my blogging life feels so empty this week. It’s only the 3rd time this season that Barça and its players haven’t had a game in midweek. The official site has, um, the official word on it. And now to our regular schedule programming:
Most of you probably read Sport on [...]

What are you doing? Sitting? Standing? Well you should be panicking. There should be much gnashing of teeth, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. All that. Why? Oh, because Marca claims that Juande Ramos claims that there are rumors the league is still in play. That’s why.
Because Barça is up by only 10 points [...]
Category: Team NewsA little post for a potentially big topic
By: Kevin | 31 Comments
So, in perusing over at Pep’s Most Excellent Place, I came upon this tidbit of data, in a translated interview with Samuel Eto’o.
He was talking to French sports pub SportsWeek, and the topic of his renewal came up:
Your contract with Barcelona expires in 2010. Are you on the verge of taking a difficult decision: staying [...]
