SuperCup Postgame aka: 1 down 5 to go
By: Iggy |3-0 win, one trophy in the bag and it doesn’t really feel like we struggled for it (no offense to Athletic obviously).
Pep rolled out a starting XI of:
————–Valdes————-
Alves–ElCapitan–Piquenbauer–MaxwellHouse
—–Xavi—BigYa—Keita——-
–Messi—Ibracadabra—Henry
Our lineup of starters came out and proved why they start and the Gamper was just a result of playing the B-team. We dominated from the very first [...]
Pick it! Your match of the year, a.k.a. “The one.”
By: Kevin |For me, this was the one. Barca vs Betis, in February. My review at the time was rather cranky, nattering about how we deserved better, blah, blah, blah.
The video! I’m ready to play RIGHT NOW!!!!
By: Kevin |TV3 showed it today, and a very helpful Barca fan posted it to YouTube. Enjoy, everyone, and lovelymofo has lived up to his her! screen name!
Barca 6-Atletico Madrid 1, a.k.a. “Everybody, shut your stinkin’ holes!”
By: Kevin |This was a statement match, everyone. And the statement is “Shut up. Leave us alone, leave our coach alone, leave our players alone. We’re in great shape and ready to contend for trophies. We’re solid, and are a united front. So just shut the hell up, and take this 6-1 dismantling with you.”
It was that [...]
Farewell, R10, it’s been a good run (well, not fully)
By: Kevin |It is official. The end of an era of sorts for FC Barcelona. Reads the beginning of the statement by the club:
AC Milan and Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Ronaldinho to the Italian club. The Brazilian will take a medical examination on Wednesday in Milan. And let the record [...]
Barca 0-Espanyol 0, a.k.a. “Making Kameni look good”
By: Kevin |Let’s just give him a pedicure, a nap and a bottle while we’re at it. Repeat after me:
If you shoot the damned ball where the keeper is, he’s probably going to make the save.
Make sense? Feel better now? Good.
Now. This match had the stink of a 0-0 just oozing from its pores. It was [...]
Recreativo 2, Barca 2, a.k.a. “Kxevin is speechless”
By: Kevin |Good news. Messi is BACK! All the pace and energy are there.
But I’m staggered. Wordless. There are times when you don’t know what to say. I only have one page of notes for this match, and the most prominent word is “shit.” I’m not at all sure what that says, but those who believe that [...]
Barca 0, Getafe 0, or “Satan is a Goalpost”
By: Kevin |Could someone just kill me now? I mean, right now. Lord, since you clearly don’t wear the blaugrana, I only ask that you smite me, that I might never have to witness such a display ever again in my life.
And I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
We don’t even get the joy of being [...]
Barca 4, Valladolid 1, a.k.a. the “Flatter to Deceive” edition, a.k.a. “And then there were four”
By: Isaiah |Four points, baby! Four. Freakin’. Points. Kevin in the house again for Isaiah, wanting to wait until after the Evil Empire/Valencia match to post this match report, so that I could say, once again:
Four. Freakin’. Points.
Ray Hudson cracked me up with his “man of the match” debate, as if there could be any doubt. No, [...]
Valencia 3, Barca 2, a.k.a. “Well, we still have the double” edition
By: Isaiah |Dammit, this one killed me for so many reasons. First off, I know why he did it, and I’ll never, ever question his manhood, but Yaya wasn’t himself. He took the needle (cortisone) to play, and tried like a lion. A healthy Yaya stops that first goal, but such is life. It does absolutely nothing [...]
