Barca' 4 Ever

Who knows Barca' the looser? 

up barca

. . .still on Henry

Important league goals

Henry’s first seven league goals were also important in securing five wins. He opened his account in style with a hat trick against Levante to secure three points. He then scored three at the Camp Nou to open the scoring in winning performances against Almería, Betis and Racing. His next was at Zaragoza and was the equaliser in game where the comeback was sealed with a Ronaldinho goal.

And in the cup too

It was in the Copa del Rey where he really came into his own. He scored his first goal in the competition to open the scoring against Alcoyano, and then scored a cracker in the next round against Sevilla, the only one of the two legs and which meant Barça were into the last eight. The story repeated itself against Villarreal in the next round where he scored the only goal of the tie to go into the semi finals, where once again he was on target with a headed goal against Valencia, which sadly was not enough to send Barça into the final.

Most definitely. Second to none for shizzie, home of dazling skills(Deco, Dinho,Messi,Iniesta,Bojan,Giovanni, should I continue?)What tha heck meeeen!! Whoever posted this thread just strained his fingers. Barca till I die.

Seydou Keita is, apart from being the first Malian player in Barça’s history, the sixth African player to sign for the Catalan club. Mendonça, Amunike, Okunowo, Eto'o and Touré all preceded the signing of Keita.


The first African signing came about 67 years after the club was founded. However, it’s only during the last twelve years that African born players have had a real impact on the club.

Mendonça: the first African

In 1966 Jorge Alberto Mendonça passed into the history books by becoming the first African to don the azulgrana shirt. Arriving via Atletico Madrid, the Angolan striker had a great first season but slowly his performances waned, though he did win the Spanish Cup in 67/68.

The two Nigerians

Another 30 years passed before the second African signing arrived in the form of Nigerian Emmanuel Amunike. He signed from Sporting Lisbon and despite playing 33 games and scoring 3 goals in two seasons, his career with Barça was dogged by numerous knee injuries. Nevertheless, he managed to win six trophies with Barça (League 97/98, Cup Winners’ Cup 96/97, European Super Cup 1997, Spanish Cup 96/97 and 97/98 and Spanish Super Cup 1996).

Amunike left his position to another Nigerian, Okunowo, who was signed by Louis van Gaal. The defender won the Dutch manager’s confidence from the start and stayed with the club for two seasons, winning the league title in 98/99.

Barça is one of the clubs to have the most players taking part in Euro 2008. There will be eight Barça players in Switzerland and Austria, as there will be from Real Madrid, Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich.


Of the 368 players in the 16 finalised squads, no fewer than eight are on FC Barcelona’s books.

The eight Barça players

Those players are Henry, Abidal and Thuram, all for France, who were originally in the shortlist of 29 players named by Doménech and have all been named in the eventual 23. Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta will all appear for Luis Aragonés’s Spain, and Deco and Zambrotta will there for Portugal and Italy, respectively.

Real Madrid also taking eight

Madrid also have eight players in the European Championship, namely
Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos for Spain, Metzelder for Germany, Sneijder, Van Nistelrooy and Robben for Holland, Pepe for Portugal and Cannavaro for Italy.

The Germans

Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich can also boast eight players in the finals. Bayern have sent all of Philipp Lahm, Marcell Jansen, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski for Germany, plus, Luca Toni with Italy and Willy Sagnol and Frank Ribéry with France.

The eight Werder Bremen players are Martin Harnik, with host nation Austria, Clemens Fritz, Per Mertesacker, Torsten Frings and Tim Borowski, with Germany, Markus Rosenberg with Sweden, Ivan Klasnic with Croatia and Hugo Almeida with Portugal.

 


and Eto head butts a Journalist he wanted to do a remake of Zizou's 06 album but he sucked

Rather quiet around here. Pep Guardiola has made his first signing: Emmanuel Adebayor

God save us! I thought Villa was the man. The chap is practically begging to be signed by Barca or Madrid.

Still. I hear he's interested in Hleb. Now that's mouth-watering. Hleb on the left and Messi on the Right. I'm drooling.

heard laporta was about to resign but has reversed his decison

8 of the directors hav now resigned but laporta still remains
these are some troubled times,

No let him stay and Rot, hahahaha

 ronaldinho to me is the best player barca can wish to have.      It is a pity that they want him out at all cost .if only he can be
  given all d necessary support to get back to shape,barca would be better for it.                                                                                   

its too late, to many broken eggs
