Barca 6, Malaga 0, a.k.a. “So how was your Saturday?”

By: Kevin | Comments 87 Comments

I spent mine taking apart the lenses on my high-def projection set for a thorough cleaning, then watching the Malaga match twice, the first time because I couldn’t believe how easy it seemed, and the second time marveling at how easy it was. The grins on Henry’s and Eto’o faces say it all, folks. This [...]

Show Yaya the Money

By: Isaiah | Comments 174 Comments

Why are we dithering on this? Seriously, give the man a better contract. Or this stare will be turned on you. And that, of course, will wither your soul.
Spam filter caught a gem: “As an Australia-based Bears fan, I found your blog on google and read a few of your other Bears posts. I just [...]

Barca v Malaga preview, a.k.a. “How do you spell danger?” 2 p.m. Sunday, on We Can’t See it Except on the Web

By: Kevin | Comments 40 Comments

Splish, splash. We all remember the last time we faced Malaga, a team whose name sounds like the sound that you make before you hock a loogie (loogy? It always seems like such a word should be masculine rather than feminine, given its attendant….off track….uh, oh).
It didn’t just rain, it did a Biblical thing [...]

And the answer is…Bayern.

By: Kevin | Comments 54 Comments

This one will be brief, but the draw and the road to the finals has been decided:
We get Bayern in the quarters, Liverpool or Chelsea in the semis, and we’ll see in the finals. Is anybody else excited about this? I think that it could have been better in that we could have drawn Porto, [...]

On Vacation

By: Isaiah | Comments 87 Comments

So, it’s Wednesday and some of you are probably jonesing pretty hard for your latest Barça Offside fix. Well, the heroin drugs are on their way, sort of. There will be a small service interruption between now and whenever Kevin gets the preview up because I’m headed off to Kansas to visit the extended family.
That [...]

Almeria 0, Barca 2, a.k.a. “Get that kid some braces!”

By: Kevin | Comments 126 Comments

I know, I know. “Whoa, dude! Krkic gets the brace, all his fans are giddy with long-delayed rapture, and you use a picture of the team as the representative image??!!
“It’s official. You hate our beloved Bojan.”
No, the picture is because this was a comprehensive team victory, particularly the midfield. Our high pressure game is [...]

Preview: Almería – Barça, Sunday 4pmEST, GolTV

By: Isaiah | Comments 47 Comments

We’ve had our say about the CL, we’ve seen Lyon come and go, and now we’re back to La Liga, to our attempt at the domestic double (hell, we’re in the finals and we just slobberknockered our upcoming opponents, we can start to talk about that, right?). We face plucky Almería, known to most just [...]

Barca 5, Lyon 2, a.k.a. “Get used to conceding goals, kids.”

By: Kevin | Comments 92 Comments

Here we are, everyone, in the “couldn’t have done it without them” category, Lionel Messi and our Man of the Match, Thierry Henry.
That’s right, you heard me….Man of the Match. Now believe it or not, there were a number of excellent candidates, including Xavi and Pique. But Henry gets the nod because he was involved [...]
