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 […]

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 | 25 Comments
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 | 17 Comments
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, […]

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 […]
Espanyol 1 - 1 Barcelona: Review (Messi is a Golden God Edition)
By: Isaiah | 3 Comments
The Catalan derby was quite a game. Exciting, good football. The quick and dirty review: It started off brightly for Barcelona with an Iniesta goal in the 6th minute, but Espanyol found their legs in the second half and pushed up the field until they found their goal. After that it was all Barca as […]
Lyon 2 - 2 Barcelona: Review and Highlights (Group Winners, biotches! edition)
By: Isaiah | 8 Comments
Before we truly get going, I think it’s only fair that I admit that I did not get to see this game. Obviously this detracts from my abilities to discuss the game in-depth, but I’ll do my best with the information at hand. I followed the game from work on Marca’s gametracker-esque deal, fully aware […]
Barcelona 3-0 Recreactivo: (The “Flatter to Deceive” edition)

Guest blogger: Kevin
Make no mistake about it, the lads are in trouble. This scoreline will convince those who didn’t see the match, but let’s take a look at the…erm…as we say in management, challenges facing Barca.
1. They all hold the ball too much. Dribble, dribble, oh, look. A defender. Where did he come from? Until […]
Alcoyano 0 - 3 Barcelona: Copa Del Rey, with highlights
By: Isaiah | 2 Comments
Henry, Gudjohnsen (pen), and Bojan all scored in the 0-3 win at Alcoyano and while they left it late, and the last two goals (86′ and 90′) came when Alcoyano was down to 9 men, Barca were never really in danger of losing this one or even tying it. At least not according to hyper-sensationalist […]
Getafe 2-Barcelona 0 (The “Orange Turd” edition)
By: Isaiah | 17 Comments
Guest blogger: Kevin. Thanks so much to Kevin for taking over this week’s edition.
Not a lot to say about this one. Thanks to my futbol-mania, I had GolTV as part of the Spanish language package (which I got for ESPN Deportes and Champions League match days), since GolTV’s English feed wasn’t working due to a […]
