Well, we’re stuck in it now, aren’t we? With the quickest of glances at the upcoming schedule, you’d reckon that Pep, Tito and Co. will have to sharpen their knives and put on their cowboy boots for what’s about to happen.
You see, they don’t just hand out stadium nicknames like bits of corn candy [...]
Barça players and the International Break: this time we swear in French
By: Ade C. | 16 Comments
So this is it, boys and girls, the end of international break. Let’s hear that sigh of relief and the raucous celebrations because (with the exception of Touré and Keita leaving for the African Cup), our boys are home to stay until the next year at least.
And what did this day of friendlies and World [...]
A quick query on the renewal of a certain Mexican’s contract.
By: Joan | 9 Comments
An old Mexican man, worn from years of work and the testing weight of life, once told me as I stood in (for the night) the oddly contemplative McDonalds, waiting for possibly the most time-consuming six pack of McNuggets I’d ever ordered: “The broken man comes back strong and desperate, the gently caressed comes back [...]
Category: BarcelonaFC Barcelona 5, Cultural Leonesa 0, a.k.a. “We feel pretty!”
By: Ade C. | 17 Comments
Forgive any typos you might find in this post, as I find that typing whilst bouncing gleefully on your seat and humming “Tot el camp” is not conductive to good spelling.
Yesterday’s was one of those pretty, gleeful matches that culés (and football aficionados everywhere) can only sit back and enjoy while they happen, and then [...]
FC Barcelona vs Cultural Leonesa: how to play in the midst of a stampede. An international stampede.
By: Ade C. | 13 Comments
Yes, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. FC Barcelona players have way too much class to trample anyone in their rush to leave for international pastures. I assume they will politely excuse themselves before leaving, but the point remains that someone is going to actually have to go on the pitch to defend the 0-2 [...]

Even thought everyone seems to have forgotten in the face of the catastrophe that is our coming to a draw in our last two matches, we have an important match to play on Saturday. We need to re-establish our superiority over the whole wide world after having stumbled over Osasuna and Rubin Kazan. RM is [...]

Now, modern media has done a good job at exposing such exciting and traditional events for all the average people around the world to see and hear. So, i won’t have to describe the particulars of this event. A recollection of the [...]

By: Ade C. | 4 Comments
So, the list is out for the 23 male football players who are in the running to get the (second?) most prestigious footballing award, the 2009 FIFA World Player.
And guess what? That’s right! FC Barcelona is the club who has more players making the list. It’s almost not surprising anymore, isn’t it? Almost, I [...]
Cultural Leonesa 0, Barça 2, a.k.a. “Pedrito to the rescue (again)!”
By: Ade C. | 6 Comments
It probably wasn’t one of Barça’s most thrilling matches, but then again, when you field a team of youngsters against a third division team, you can’t expect an earth-shattering performance, can you? (well, yes, you could expect it, but you shouldn’t)
With Real Madrid’s precedent of losing 4-0 to a Segunda B team the day before, [...]
