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:

Camp Nou

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 […]
Evil Empire 4-Barca 1, or “Pimp slap is front of the hand, back of the head.”
By: Kevin | 40 Comments
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 […]
Barca 6-Valencia 0 or “Like unto a peacock.”
By: Kevin | 16 Comments
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
By: Isaiah | 25 Comments
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 […]

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 […]
Barca 0-Espanyol 0, a.k.a. “Making Kameni look good”
By: Kevin | 29 Comments
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 […]
Barcelona - Espanyol: Saturday 2pmEST (GolTV)
By: Isaiah | 12 Comments
So it’s another derby, another day, right? Weeellll, it’s more like we haven’t gotten the full measure of revenge for Tamudo scoring that title-destroying goal against us last year, so not only do we need to continue their losing streak (4 straight at the moment, with nary a goal to show for their so-called efforts) […]
The Pipe is a grim thing

I wasn’t aware that crack was such a problem in Europe. I know that I’ve said this before but really….it’s just getting too big to ignore. The evidence?
1. Chelsea manager Avram Grant said in a press conference that he wants Kaka AND Messi next season. Now, he was smiling as he said it, because that’s […]
State of the Liga Address
By: Isaiah | 22 Comments
We have what amounts to a minibreak in Barcelona’s schedule as we wait for Espanyol’s arrival at the Camp Nou on Saturday (moved up from Sunday, FYI, due to the demands of the upcoming Champions League semifinal with ManU), so I thought I’d do a full league breakdown of where things stand with 6 matches […]
