Font is putting up a good fight this time around, no way he wins though. Though this might be Laporta's final time as President,unless he delivers. If he wins, excuses won't help him in the next election cycle after this one. |

BykeLaByke:Laporta go still win though what Xavi said is not surprising cause we know laporta has always been a liar and won't tell you the true state of things just to feed you hope but he's successfully built the club back from ruins again with a good sporting project and the club is on an upward trajectory especially as we went back to our roots in lamasia which I doubt font will do in favour of signing expensive players. Xavi should have said this since not days before a crucial UCL tie |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:Xavi didn't do well with the timing of that interview when we have Newcastle tomorrow. The election go dey tight now but I see laporta still winning |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:xavi never truly believed in the squad. He felt he needed more tools and couldn't achieve much with what we currently have. But Hansi Flick has proven that to be false. Of course, we definitely need some reinforcements now but clearly this Barca is light-years better than what Xavi was able to build - and they're almost same players except Olmo, Rashford and Joan Garcia. Definitely Xavi has his reasons and are entitled to them but he should understand how these things work. This is a professional job. This is business. No need to come back and hold grudges against Laporta for whatever reason and try to politically malign him. Yes Laporta may have betrayed Messi by not allowing him to come back but looking back now, I think Lamine Yamal may not have emerged the way he has now, assuming Messi came back to occupy central role. If that is the case, then I support Laporta on that. Xavi using this to try to sway public opinion against Laporta seems like a poor choice on his part. For me the quality of good leaders, is making the difficult decision and having the foresight to see what others have not seen. Laporta here, has shown he saw Lamine as the present and the future and he was right to back him over Messi, who has given everything already to football. |

Stop disrepecting our legend, Xavi laid the ground work of the team success today OkpaNsukkaisBae: |

Guy we haven't still make 1:1 we don't know the year we would complete our stadium We are still dependent on the brilliance of a player Still paying exorbitant wages to useless players(e.g. Rashford, Fati) don't know how to offload player we don't need the only thing better now is Flick Kilishihunter: |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Ibukzy: 2:33pm On Mar 09 |
stop discrediting Xavi because of Flick wonderful work Xavi was not wrong for demanding for better signings, the improvement of Barca players currently started with Xavi, he was the one who move Kounde to right back, moved Raphinha to Left wing, gave Balde key to the left back, and trusted a 16 yrs to be our creative star. He also moved Pedri from AM to CM, De jong From CM to DM all these above are the still the Corner stone of the team success today jpmoriarti: |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Ibukzy: 2:37pm On Mar 09 |
The only signing Laporta has made since Alemany left that we can say is a considerable success is only Joan Garcia |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by jpmoriarti(m): 2:45pm On Mar 09 |
Ibukzy:I am not discrediting him. I think he stopped trusting the squad and that negative energy permeated to the team and they started losing. Remember we went trophyless in his second season after we won the league in his first full season. Xavi did a lot of excellent work and he laid the foundation for this Hansi Flick project but he should have trusted the players more. Laporta confirmed he kept complaining of the squad not being good enough. It is a difficult conversation either way but it has now become political. |

🚨🗣️ Joan Laporta on Xavi's statements from yesterday: "When I see these statements from Xavi, I think of Hansi Flick and how tough it is to be president of Barça." "The facts give me the peace of mind that I did what I had to do. I understand that he's hurt, because with the same players that Xavi had and was losing with, Flick is winning." "It pains me that he let himself be used." |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Ibukzy: 3:20pm On Mar 09 |
seems you don't remember what happened then, everything started going downward after PSG loss, his statement about the team was not wrong and inconsequential to the team morale, as we were already trophyless before his statement, which came after the loss to Girona and also note that Xavi trusted the La masia more than Flick jpmoriarti: |

Barcelona possible Line-up against Newcastle United tomorrow. Barça 💙❤️ #UCL

SpencerForbes:definitely draw |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Techu: 7:10am On Mar 10 |
SpencerForbes:Good line up We must take today's game seriously. I just watched where Newscastle's president was saying they gonna knock Barca out and shock the world. Biko Hansi flick talk to the players well. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Techu: 7:14am On Mar 10 |
We respect Messi but he should continue with his life and forget Barca. What was Messi coming to do in Barca in 2023. What was he coming to do ? His departure paved way for younger stars. I support Laporta blocking whatever deal that was aimed at bringing Messi back to Barcelona as a player. Nice One LAPORTA. WE DON'T NEED MESSI. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Nobody: 7:29am On Mar 10 |
Techu:I’m still holding out some hope because we’re benching Araujo and Ferran. While Araujo has his strengths, his track record in Europe isn't exactly inspiring confidence right now. Hopefully, our defenders are ready for whatever Newcastle throws at them. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Techu: 7:59am On Mar 10 |
SpencerForbes:I support Araujo starting. He did well In the group stage against the same Newscastle. Flick just needs to caution him very well. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Debroslink: 12:56pm On Mar 10 |
Give me a fit Pedri, fit Raphinha, fit Lewa and a zero high-line. These 4 conditions only are all I desire tonight. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 2:01pm On Mar 10 |
Debroslink: ![]() ....only for Barca to concede in 60 secs because of it. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by jpmoriarti(m): 2:28pm On Mar 10 |
Debroslink:If we play as well as we did against Atletico, we should be good tonight. But its easier said than done. Also, you should know that high-line is one of the identity of this team. The team have to stick to what you know how to do best. Yes tweak it if you have to but you don't abandon your ideas mid-season. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by abduleez1(m): 3:32pm On Mar 10 |
Ibukzy:Rubbish talk. Koeman laid the foundation for any trophy Xavi struggled to win when he came. Going by this logic. ![]() |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by abduleez1(m): 3:39pm On Mar 10 |
fatherofnone:Lol, Victor Font got nothing to offer. Maybe some might have forgotten but I was a staunch Font supporter in the last election. ![]() But now, I can see that guy presently has no project or plans. His tactics is just using Messi and Xavi against Laporta. Just same way Buhari had no damn plan of what he wanted to do for Nigeria asides from seizing power from Jonathan that year. What happened after, we're all still suffering from the catastrophic leadership of Buhari's backward recession regime. Man took power and was using 7 months plus to appoint ministers. What does that tell you? Someone who has no plans. So, Victor Font can get TF out with his scheming. He should tender a viable project and what he'd do differently not all this opposition for opposition sake. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by abduleez1(m): 3:43pm On Mar 10 |
Techu:I don't even understand how peeps will be mad for Messi being blocked in 2023. Wetin him wan come do? Messi no dey there when we chop 8-2? Wasn't Messi there when we suffered humiliation against Roma, Liverpool, Bayern etc. Make Xavi go rest. He failed. And should move on and try somewhere else. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by abduleez1(m): 3:57pm On Mar 10 |
Ibukzy:Barca dependent on the brilliance of a player presently is a huge lie and ingenious with the truth. Clearly our current system hinges on key players like Pedri, Raphinha and Yamal. If a single one misses a match, we suffer massively but it doesn't mean we hinge on just a single one of them and can't win matches unlike the late Messi years. Barca would be in 1:1 very soon and just a few millions away which we'll validate this new window (summer). The stadium is completing most likely next year. Stop all this malicious information. The stadium was actually started by Laporta which your previous shitty presidents refused to embark on. When the stadium is completed and the entire project finished Barca will easily be amongst the richest clubs in the world because of the massive revenue. Stadium started in 2023, and by average years taken to complete such big construction projects, 4yrs is usually the time frame. Laporta has reduced your wage bill. There's no way you ain't paying Rashford's fee when you didn't pay a single transfer fee. It's simple logic. Man Utd even pays part of his wages, tho little compared to Barca's. So what do you want? Barca has never been a selling club and good at sales. We only did good sales against a club like Everton cos for some reason that club had a huge crush on Barca players. I don't know how Alemany scammed them with those sums of money. Under Laporta, a renewed trust in La Masia happened and the whole world is reminded once again the power of our academy. Laporta might be a politician, liar and many things but at this transitional stage, you need leaders who can take the tough decisions. And if I was the President at that time I'd say 4ck Messi coming back. To do what exactly? I love Messi but man it's time to move on look into the future. He has done more than enough for the club already. The same club Messi was in that we suffered some of our biggest humiliations in Europe? What's he gonna do at age 36 in club football? Even if Messi came back, na that werey coach Xavi wan make us win UCL? Person wey lack tactics? Crying this team can't compete but it's basically same thing Flick is using to scare European clubs. |

Barcelona have officially received the 1C license to open the Gol Nord stand. The capacity of the Spotify Camp Nou can now reach 62,000 spectators against Sevilla this Sunday and in future games. [@AdriiFdez] Nice!!

Someone with some sense....

Eric Garcia with discomfort. Might not play today. You sure say this thing is ordinary. Four key players out on injury. ![]() |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OkpaNsukkaisBae(m): 7:04pm On Mar 10 |
abduleez1:I disagree, if we have the funds, we should break the bank for Alvarez |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 7:57pm On Mar 10 |
Starting Araujo and Martin is pure reactive coaching. Newcastle will win 2:1. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 8:08pm On Mar 10 |
AirBere:That's the best possible lineup we can muster atm with balde and Eric injured. Christensen is also hardly fit. If not for home advantage I'll say the Newcastle backline isn't much better |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 8:11pm On Mar 10 |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Tico would seek a higher fee than what we paid for griezmann. We are not backed by wealthy owners |
