Meet the New Manager
By: Isaiah |It has been officially announced from here to Timbuktu, Josep “Pep” Guardiola will be taking over as manager of Barcelona on June 30, replacing Frank Rijkaard. I’ll do both a bio for Pep and a goodbye for Frankie in the next couple of days as I, like most others, ignore the remaining two games.
Nous from the Camp
By: Isaiah |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 […]
Gnus you all can use, including Brazilians and Frenchmen
By: Kevin |Guess who’s coming to dinner at Old Trafford?
Yes, lads and ladettes, it’s already been announced: Thierry Henry will be getting the start at Old Trafford next Tuesday, because of his fine legacy of bedeviling the Red Devils. Woot! No word on the rest of the starting lineup, but I’m already excited.
The Pipe is a grim thing
By: Kevin |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 […]
Farewell, R10, a.k.a. “The Good Old Days”
By: Kevin |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, […]
It’s official. We’re ripped apart, a.k.a. “Big news of ‘black sheep’”
By: Kevin |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 […]
Thierry Henry: the one-and-done of Barcelona?
By: Isaiah |So now that Soccernet has deemed it worthy to weigh in on the matter, I think The Barcelona Offside should also go ahead and get into the mud. There’s a certain Thierry Henry being mentioned as a potential summer transfer away from Camp Nou (to Tottenham!?). Of course, he just got here, so what gives, […]
Poulsen to Barcelona
By: Isaiah |I first read about this at the Sevilla Offside. A big shout out to Ryan for that. Sport is documenting it too, so you know it’s gotta be true…okay, stop laughing. It is true, though, apparently. There’s no confirmation from Barcelona’s official site, but I expect it to be up tomorrow and I’ll post it […]
Sevilla - Barcelona: Saturday, 4pm EST
By: Isaiah |Well, folks, it’s that time of the week again, when I roll out the fabulous and 100% correct preview of things to come. Why even bother watching the game, when you can just read this preview and know exactly what’s coming? I mean, really, there’s not even any need to stream this blog, no downloads […]
Motta to Atletico
By: Isaiah |Not all of the details are in and nothing official has been announced, but apparently Motta is going to Atletico Madrid for 2million euros. Maybe his goal in last night’s Gamper allowed this to happen, I don’t know, but it’s a good thing, in the end. 2million is relatively little compared to what Barcelona is […]
