Today is the day in which we embark in yet another competition. F.C. Barcelona enters the Copa del Rey race with a thrilling match against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, a modest team that is currently sitting at the lower end of its group table in Segunda B (the third-tier league), currently risking slipping into Tercera [...]

Champions League Pregame 1 (Eto’o’s Return..kinda)
By: Iggy | 13 Comments
First off, sorry about the lack of activity, I’ve had exams (thank you Kxevin for the support).
Now to Business. It’s our first Champions League game and destiny wanted Eto’o to come back to Our Cathedral, but destiny can wait a few weeks while we visit Italy to see him there. There has been tons of [...]

Yes, we’ve won the treble. But business must go on. Starting XI: Pinto, Caceres, Pique, The Yaya, Sylvinho, Keita, Gudjohnsen, Xavi, Hleb, Eto’o, Krkic.
Have at it!
Pick United’s poison, a.k.a. “What’s the lineup and strategy?”

Okay. It’s time. It’s Tuesday (well not in Chicago, but in many parts of the world, including Barcelona. Speculation is rife, and Isaiah is going to get us all fired up like crazy folks with a rip-roaring preview that will make us all frothy-mouthed culeniacs.
But for now, let’s use our thinking caps and figure out [...]
Mallorca 2, Barca 1, a.k.a. “Give the young’uns some.”

This one won’t take long. It was a meaningless match that was mostly played like one. Guardiola took the opportunity to rest every potential Champions League starter except for the man you see here, Samuel Eto’o.
This picture sums things up quite well for some. As we all know, Eto’o missed about 4 gilt-edged chances to [...]

So. Isaiah is in Chicago, probably still at roller derby, where I left him for some much-needed beauty sleep.
And then it occurred to me: If he’s in Chicago, and I’m beauty sleeping, who, oh who, would write up the match preview?
Now I have to be all ugly and stuff, because I’m staying up [...]
Preview: Valladolid – Barça, Saturday 2pmEST, GolTV (maybe)
By: Isaiah | 104 Comments
La Liga is back, suckas. And you know what that means: another preview! Holy cow it’s going to be a fun one, too. Well, fun if you find lots of numbers fun. Which I do, obviously. It’s not just because that, I suppose — get your allegiances right, though! — because Puyol and Iniesta are [...]
Preview: Barça – Numancia; Saturday 4pmEST, GolTV

Venganza. That’s the word for this match. Revenge, vengeance, getting even, retribution, or whatever else you want to call it (thanks, Thesaurus.com!), that’s what we’re after in this one. The only team in league play — indeed the only Spanish team at all — to beat us this year is, of all teams, Numancia. If [...]
El Clásico: Saturday 4pm, GolTV
By: Isaiah | 59 Comments
It’s upon us once again. El Clásico. A match that stirs our deepest emotions, both the good and the bad. The silliness which has taken over my recent posts is now over because we must enter into this match in deadly earnest. There is much to discuss, so off to the races we go.
CL Preview: Barça – Shakhtar, Tuesday 2:45pmEST, ESPN Deportes

So we beat Valencia on Saturday to move 6 points clear of 2nd-placed Villarreal (35pts-29pts), pushed our goals scored to 44 in 14 games (3.14 per game), and thanks to our clean sheet dropped our goals allowed to 0.64 per game (9 in 14 games). Holy crapola. Now, before we play Real Madrid in El [...]
