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
Camp Nou
Avignuda Aristides Mallol
Barcelona, Spain

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 […]
Nous from the Camp

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 […]

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 […]
Barcelona - Valencia: Sunday 1pm

There’s a Spanish word that I love both because of its meaning and the actual sound when you spit it out: venganza. Revenge, payback. You know what it means and we’ve got two straight weeks of it, starting with the visit from Valencia and ending with our own visit to the Bernabeu. While the sad […]

I’m going to be brief with this one because it’s late and my legs are tired from a long, cold ride home to watch a match that left me absolutely gutted.
Time’s up. No silver. I usually detest the idiots who do the post-game analysis for ESPN but this time, they were right. When it came […]

Update: Check out the liveblog on the main page
This. Is. It. There’s no tomorrow, no next match. We’re in it to win or we’re out on the street. The whole season, all the good and all the bad, have led up to this moment, this game, these 90 minutes. Everything bad can be forgiven with […]
Barca v Deportivo La Coruna, or “She’s warming up….” Saturday, 1 p.m. CT, GolTV
By: Kevin | 33 Comments
Well, her song isn’t done, but you have to wonder. We’re in third place, one point behind Villarreal and eleven behind the Evil Empire, with five matches left to go. That’s fifteen points. Barring a massive collapse, alien abductions and the like, that’s a lotta points to make up, even if you count the three […]
