Barcelona vs. Malaga aka: Ibra!

By: Iggy | Comments 20 Comments

After WWII America had “I like Ike” and now I have “I like Ibra”. Join me if you’re as happy with him as I am.

He didn’t start, but replaced an injured Henry (28′) who was underperforming and still needs to find the groove he hit last season.
Starting XI
———–Valdes———–
Alves–ElCapitan–Chygnasty–Abidal
—Xavi—BigYa—Keita—–
Messi——Henry——-Mr.Pedro
Where was Ghostface!? I don’t know, but [...]

We’re not spies!!

By: Iggy | Comments 6 Comments

I know that this has little/nothing to do with actual on the field events, but it’s not every day that your team has to answer accusations of espionage. Joan Oliver has answered allegations that FCB spied on past club employees by saying, “We didn’t spy on anybody, we only protected them”.
Really, am I the only [...]

I missed it.

By: Iggy | Comments 16 Comments

Well I missed the midweek game because I had class and an exam, but that shouldn’t stop us from discussing it.
So, what did you think? From the scoreline it seems like we played pretty well, but the scoreline only says so much.
I’ll get the weekend game though.

Let me say this real quick: We kicked ass!
No really, that was absolutely amazing.
Our starting XI had a few surprises
——————Valdes———————-
Alves—Piquenbauer–Chygnasty—MaxwellHouse
——-Xavi——–Busi2.0——-Keita———-
–Messi——–Ibracadabra——–Henry——–
Everyone came out as if their lives depended on this game, before even a minute had gone by Henry had rocked the Atleti crossbar with a longrange missile from outside the box. One minute later Ibra [...]

Champions League Pregame 1 (Eto’o’s Return..kinda)

By: Iggy | Comments 13 Comments

First off, sorry about the lack of activity, I’ve had exams (thank you Kxevin for the support).
Now to Business. It’s our first Champions League game and destiny wanted Eto’o to come back to Our Cathedral, but destiny can wait a few weeks while we visit Italy to see him there. There has been tons of [...]

slow news day

By: Iggy | Comments 26 Comments

It’s been a slow news day (footywise) so I would like to take advantage of this brief rest to turn to a lockerroom issue that might need observation. As we all know, last season LordPep would rally the troops behind Coldplay’s Viva La Vida. We have already seen him trade Eto’o for Ibracadabra as an [...]

You said what now?! (ElCapitan Edition)

By: Iggy | Comments 18 Comments

Some of you might recognize this man:

He is known to us as ElCapitan, his mother named him Carles, and his father gave him the name Puyol, and opposing forwards know him as “oh not that guy again”. He is a symbol of our glorious team and is known all over the footy world for his [...]
