But I will continue to praise Diego Simeone for taking a mid-table club to the top with just a few tweaks and very little expenditure. That is a super manager. I wouldn't want him at Real Madrid.

I believe he may be their next manager, as they are sure to fire Carlo for not winning anything at the end of this season
That is, of course, if they are unable to get Pep

Ehn?? Pe…what??
They wouldn't dare, even if they do I'm sure pep himself wouldn't risk losing his legendary status at Barca

Apparently Neymar cost over 120 milla and hope they expose those crooked tax evaders

honeric01:
and your point is? As long as he is 'partly' or 'tinypartly' qualifies to play for the st, my point still remains that he should have been used last night.

The idea is that Martino doesnt want the intensity of the First teamers to reduce considering we are going Away to Getafe on Saturday!

That is a scary prospect for me, and one that Barca should try and prevent (even if The Board has to pay Simeone through a backdoor or some other means). Pep is tied to Bayern for at least 2 seasons. And I don't want to believe a Catalan like Pep who so much believes in the nationhood of Catalunya would do that to himself.

Was he always the best?

Yes, even in Argentina, at Newell's Old Boys. Since he was eight he realised that he was the one that won the games on his own. In the Barcelona academy every Thursday, there used to be a meeting between the managers from different levels and they decided who was going to use Messi that weekend. They asked: "who needs to win?" and Messi played with that team.

The only interesting news in that article was that SAF was likely also courting Pep for Man U.

Yes na. He was the "most wanted" football manager then. To an extent, he still is.

Right now, it should be Simeone. That's why I want Barca to get him to sign an agreement never to sign for Real Madrid. If he goes to Real Madrid, Barca's dominance will end instantly. And I see them winning their much sought "La Decima".

I'm sure even Atleti won't let him go to Real, it's kind of part of the contracts Atleti give to their staffs: YOU CAN'T SIGN FOR REAL MADRID. Forlan, Aguero and Falcao will have gone to Real if it were up to them alone.

Seriously though, that guy is really good, and he's beginning to get on my nerves

So Getafe is our next copa opponent

Its quite baffling that he didn't make the 10 man Balon D'or coaching shortlist

He was never a popular figure; especially as a player. Remember this is politics.

Iniesta agrees Barca extension

What's with Messi and money-grubbing issues these days?
If it's not tax fraud, it's money laundering through his 'charity', or asking for a payrise.

lol, maybe he's fed up with all of the on field successes- winning all the ballon dors, winning all the la liga player of the seasons, setting up all the world records, breaking 50 year old records, becoming the club's all time best player, et al et al. maybe he wants to have some fun off the pitch. i think youthful exuberance has set in. he had wasted all his life been too successful and getting to being one of the greatest the world ever saw. i just think he's fed with the successes. messi has gotten bored of football. that's what i think. but if i could talk to him i'd plead with him not to get bored.

Somebody close to his adopted father in FIFA prolly is teaching him money bad habits known amongst FIFA officials.

Amos Adamu and other FIFA bribery scandal culprits comes to mind.

Happy sunday guys

We play Getafe this evening by 5PM away without our some of our star players. We'll hope that our other available players ends this year with a very nice win so we can take back our position at the top of the table & thus starting the new year as leaders. More so, a win in Getafe always bode well for our chances of winning the liga title since last 9 seasons they have stayed in the top division. So let's all hope we'll do it again this evening.

Visca el Barca!

We 2-0 down already

O boy! Have someone finally realised how stupid Martino is with his Pique selection everytime?
I pray we see draw at least in this match!

Pedro scores.......Lets go Barca.....We can do it!

Pedro on-fire!

Pedro equalises.........WOWW!!
So so happy!! Pedroooooo! Lets go barca......
Pedro adds another.....
3-2 to Barca..........Ah don happy tire here!
Sweet hatrick!

Pedro the hero

yourangel: Pedro on-fire!

fire no be Small..........Pedro is hotter than the Sun right now!

You're right!

We need to strengthen our defence before Champions league resumes in February. This defence would fall flat like the wall of Jericho when faced with a decent CL team.

Pedro to the rescue! What a fantastic 8-mins hatrick to relieve some defensive pressures. Glad he could step up in the absence of others.

But our defense has been a real poo! Martino had better do a real hair dryer. Perhaps Alves should be hauled off in favour of a fitter Montoya & the 'lost' Roberto withdrawn in favour of Song. So much for giving youth players chance.
