Barca vs Mallorca, or “Here’s to happier times,” Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, (5pm on GolTV)
By: Kevin |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 […]
Barca v Deportivo La Coruna, or “She’s warming up….” Saturday, 1 p.m. CT, GolTV
By: Kevin |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 v Man U, a.k.a. “The Big One” 1:30 p.m. CT, ESPN2
By: Kevin |You know why this man is smiling? Because he is thinking about getting in some Red Devil ass, that’s why. Because this is it. The real deal, and he is the most pivotal player on the pitch for so many reasons, but most importantly, because they can’t score if they don’t have the ball. If […]
Barcelona - Espanyol: Saturday 2pmEST (GolTV)
By: Isaiah |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) […]
Recreativo Huelva - Barcelona: Saturday 4pm EST (GolTV)
By: Isaiah |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 […]
Champions League preview: Barcelona v Schalke 04 (12:45 p.m. CT Wed., ESPNDeportes, 2 p.m. CT Thursday, ESPN Classic)
By: Kevin |It’s GO TIME, baby! Some are saying that Schalke is going to roll over and die at the mere sight of the blaugrana, and the roaring multitudes singing away at our stirring Himno. I don’t think so. They were encouraged by their second half performance, when we seemed to lose interest, and they will be […]
Barcelona - Getafe: Sunday 3pmEST
By: Isaiah |[Updated Version]
Just an FYI for all the readers: The Offside is listed as the 35th most powerful blog in the entire universe by The Guardian. Check it out. How cool is this!? We’ve also received just over 9,500 visitors last month (half of them are Kevin’s mother logging on from various computers around the globe, […]
Champions League preview: Schalke vs Barcelona, Tuesday 4 p.m. CT, ESPN Classic
By: Kevin |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.
Real Betis - Barcelona: Saturday 3pm EST
By: Isaiah |In a world obsessed with little orange globes being thrown at metal circles 10 feet in the air by amateurs (that would be my world), there comes a ray of shining hope: Real Betis hosts FC Barcelona. I just had to rewrite my entire opening to this post because it was just announced that the […]
Preview: Barca v Valladolid, or “It’s go time, yo!” (12 p.m. ET, GolTV)
By: Isaiah |Spare some love for me, up here amid the winter wonderland that is Highland Park, Illinois. 11 inches of snow, kids, on the second day of spring. Yum! On the up side, I have all-wheel-drive and snow tires on my car. On the down side, nobody else seems to. Go figure. Slideways is goodways.
Anyhow….
It’s Kevin […]
