Life inside La Masia with Mikel Arteta, Pepe Reina and the sobering story of a player called Arnau Riera - who was once Lionel Messi's captain and now - via Sunderland, Roy Keane and gruesome injuries - works on reception at a Mallorca hotel.

Mcleo007:




You missed the first part of the red card. Don't tell me you are a Chelsea fan in disguise and only took to support Refdrid whence Moanrhino moved there... I consider you the only Madrid supporter of worth on Nairaland, no fall my hand bro.

There were serious of wrong calls in that game, but the biggest was the red card which of course defined the match. The other calls for Chelshit came afterwards. It takes a team with wits to play such a highly tensed game and come out tops. We bossed the game from start to finish despite playing over half an hour with a man down (wrongly dismissed). If any team was robbed on the night, it definitely was Barca. We came to win the game and duly deserved to progress after securing the away goal.

Marcelo's was a clear hand ball that all three officials saw but chose to look away.

Forget all this excuses really.. History remembers we won 2009 Cl, the same way history remembers Madrid as the only tam to defend the CL..if na by ojoro make we self do am, I agree that Real has a kind of luck hovering over their heads but still they worked for it at the same time.

EV don cast us this season.

Isomerizm:
Wish we could Thiago back. Then Arthur and Alena. Plus Busquets. Then our midfield should be worth something again come 2019. De ligt and De Jon too. I welcome Griezeman with all my heart. Denis would count for something too.

Out: Valverdumb. Either resign or suffer Vilanova's fate.
Gomez.
Paulinho (this is unlikely after the season)
Digne
Vidal

Promote Cucurella, although I hear rumours connecting to Alaba.

Oriol Busquets needs to be promoted too.

It seems the fans know more than the manager and the board sef.

You just said my mind

usbcable:


EV won 2 out of 3 cups that should mean something to Barcelona.

That is even a pass mark

I totally agree,he surpasses our expectation remembering how we were hopelessly hopeless after Madrid whooped our ass beginning of the season

UEFA already awarding the trophy to Liverpool yet some people say UEFA is favoring Real Madrid

If Liverpool rely on that and play nonsense, they will lose.

Favored or not, its all mind games. You guys will still find one ojoro or as you people call it "Lucky call" that will make you win against all odds.

What contributed more to Riera's woes was the absence of an 'exceptional status'.

He sounds like one of those normal guys who love footie but will fail to make a statement when handed the chance.

If you are good, you will be handed a chance. If freaking Oleguer could be handed a chance to perform with the main team, I wonder then how 'bad' Riera was.

However, this is just one case out of the thousands out there. In Aba, we have many former Enyimba players who are roaming the streets, doing absolutely ziltch. You'll find them in Betting shops chasing a milla with a #100 stake, and when the bet goes wrong, be rest assured to find 'em in local gin shops drinking away their frustrations.

Some of my mates who were incredibly talented years back are now into other life endeavors. Some have taken to scamming, others into tailoring, tiling etc, and these were dawgs who could have attained the highest level as pro-footballers.

There are more players with unfulfilled footballing careers than the ones with fulfilled footballing careers, its the sad truth.

Fam check your mail.
