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 [...]

By: Ade C. | 23 Comments
Now that the World Cup is everything people can seem to talk about, it’s been discovered that FC Barcelona suffers a particularly virulent strain of the dreaded FIFA bug (can we help it if we’re so good?), which has led many of us to follow the fates of several national teams around the world as [...]
Barca 3, Villarreal 3, a.k.a. “Lady Luck spits in our faces”
By: Kevin | 87 Comments
History is a bitch, ain’t it? Yes, this Pique red card from the last time that we played Villarreal was rescinded, but there is little chance that Abidal’s stinker will be, for it was well-earned. It was also, with the ensuing penalty kick, the screwup that made the Barcelona street cleaning crews breathe a massive [...]
Messi Injured in Training
By: Isaiah | 75 Comments
It appears that our little Messi-ah has pulled a thigh muscle in training with the Argentina national team. The first report that I read, out of an Argentine newspaper, suggests that it was a hamstring injury (”desgarró el tendón de la pierna izquierda”). The curse of national teams is back, I suppose. What this means, [...]
The times, they are a’changin’
By: Isaiah | 35 Comments
FC Barcelona, riding high on an 11-game winning streak in all competitions, was finally brought back to earth by its 1-1 draw at home against FC Basel. Such is life. All good things come to an end, as they say, but the thing that has come to an end, at least for the immediate future, [...]
Barca 1, Basel 1, a.k.a. “Uncle Fester’s Revenge.”
By: Kevin | 66 Comments
Yes, as in festering pile of dung.
This picture is of one of the sole bright spots of the lackluster, pretty much craptastic encounter with Basel, El Capitan, our own Carles Puyol, who also seemed to be the only one taking the match seriously.
I’m going to be brief with the report, and let the [...]
Nous from the Camp
By: Isaiah | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 [...]
