Nous from the Camp

By: Isaiah | Comments 23 Comments

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 […]

Barca v Deportivo La Coruna, or “She’s warming up….” Saturday, 1 p.m. CT, GolTV

By: Kevin | Comments 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 […]

Farewell, R10, a.k.a. “The Good Old Days”

By: Kevin | Comments 21 Comments

Ah, a picture from happier times that we can all remember, because it looks like its official: Ronaldinho is now a Rossoneri. We all saw it coming, so it isn’t like anyone should be shocked at the news, which, unlike many other recent rumors of transfers and the like, comes from his brother and agent, […]

Recreativo Huelva - Barcelona: Saturday 4pm EST (GolTV)

By: Isaiah | Comments 6 Comments

While El Mundo Deportivo reports that a Ronnie-to-Milan deal has been reached for €30million, the focus for the team must be on Recreativo Huelva and regaining some sort of foothold on the league title — or at least not slipping further behind Real Madrid. With that in mind, we travel to Huelva with the following […]

The Morning After: Injury Report

By: Isaiah | Comments 7 Comments

The injuries just keep right on coming, that’s for sure. Do we have a quota we have to fill or something? The biggest news is that Andres Iniesta has a slipped meniscus, which could require surgery either now or at the end of the season, depending on the severity of the injury…or slippage, rather. Regardless […]

It’s official. We’re ripped apart, a.k.a. “Big news of ‘black sheep’”

By: Kevin | Comments 38 Comments

The news just keeps coming hot and heavy in Blaugrana land. This just in, to be filed in the “Duh” file:
The team’s economic president (and former acting president), Xavier Sala Martin, says that the locker room is split. Further, that some players are “separate” from the rest, and basically do whatever in the hell they […]

Are we crazy, a.k.a. “Expectations make Baby Kxevin cry”

By: Kevin | Comments 7 Comments

So, we’ve been wrestling with the burden of expectations all season long. Last season we grabbed Zambrotta, Gudjohnsen and Thuram. This past summer it was Abidal, Toure Yaya and Thierry Henry. Couple this with Krkic, the 1,000+goal wonder and Giovani Dos Santos, the Mexican Miracle, and we were all set up to steamroll the world, […]

The Return of the Absentees

By: Isaiah | Comments 49 Comments

The big news coming out of La Masia today seems to be the return of Deco and Ronaldinho to full training. Kevin has already expressed his opinion on the matter in the comments of the previous post, but I’d like to take a moment to discuss this situation, among other things.
First, the idea of Deco […]

Champions League preview: Schalke vs Barcelona, Tuesday 4 p.m. CT, ESPN Classic

By: Kevin | Comments 36 Comments

I know, we don’t get the high-def ESPN2 feed. Ripoff!
It’s April Fool’s Day on this matchday, everyone, but since we’ve already played our cruel trick on Saturday against Betis, t’would be my vast, vast preference if we just rolled into Schalke’s home and got knee deep in that ass.
