Maria Guta=Maria P*ta.

 

[Xifio]

haha! eto'o starts! well done frankie!

 

[Xifio]

wow ... didn't see that coming ... and neither did V.Valdes!

 

[Xifio]

Ronnie playing well ... making passes like we haven't seen him make in a while ...

and how was that Depor chance not offside?! he missed, but that's besides the point ...

 

[Xifio]

no worries, no problems ... Ronnie from the spot ... 1-1!

 

[Xifio]

samuel is looking sharp, but not razor ...

 

[Hepoas]

Hope Deportivo can make a draw against you. I really enjoy to be 2nd right now.

 

[Xifio]

wat a cock-up by Iniesta ... was set to him on a platter ...

 

[Xifio]

Hope Deportivo can make a draw against you. I really enjoy to be 2nd right now.

pretty ugly game for you guys today, eh? I just caught the fag end of the game, but that was enough to see 3 reds ...

 

[Xifio]

what a slalom from samuel! sign of things to come ...

EDIT: Eto'o subbed off ... a decent comeback ... and he's come through unscathed ... don't know if Bojan is going to make that much of a difference though ...

 

[Back Door Skip]

Awesome, Xavi saving the day.

 

[Xifio]

2-1, and deservedly so!

Bojan?! what are you on about? he didn't even get a touch to that!

Goal belongs to Puyol for a brilliant overlapping run ... easy finish from Xavi ...

 

[Xifio]

see what I mean? Bojan created the space (and it might even have been a foul) and then didn't know what to do ... so he f*cked it up ... now I'm not against him or anything, I just think the expectation level is too high already ...

 

[Xifio]

haha, puyol chased that ball down like his life depended on it ... the guy is a beast!

 

[Back Door Skip]

Bojan is pretty overrated. But then again, so was Messi 2-3 years ago. Luckily for us, and him, he has now lived up to all the hype. Now he's arguably the best player in the world. Bojan is obviously a huge talent, but he's only 17, so he's bound to **** up a fair share of chances. I think it's good that he's getting as much exposure as he is, though.

 

[Xifio]

Agreed.

2-1 FT

Nearly had a Ronaldinho special towards the end there, too!

Anyway, 3 points. Decent spells of good-looking football. Won't keep the critics (and the board) off Frankie's back for long though ... Why? well, I'll just refer you to what I said yesterday:

on that note, I would like to refer back to something I had mentioned earlier ... I said that as long as Barça does well in the Champions League, Frankie's going to be alright ... but, like most others, I'm beginning to believe that the Clásico will be decisive as far as Rijkaard's future is concerned, especially as it follows the crucial Valencia fixture ...

now on the one hand, I hope that we win (both games), and win well ... on the other hand, I know that losing one or more of those (significant) battles might mean we have a much better chance of winning the war -- namely by hiring Jose Mourinho while he's available, equipping him with a small transfer kitty for one or two winter signings (and sales), and then let him work his magic ... the ambivalence I'm feeling over this matter makes for quite some contemplation!

 

[big al]

well bojan is good but he is no messi.... i dont see that kinda spark... i dont think hes gonna become the half of what messi is right now, not any player this time soon for that matter.

btw, very hard win today.... marquez, milito, iniesta and puyol our best players today... iam surprise etoo started today... iam glad he didnt look bad phisicly speaking given its his first game in along time.... hell he even had some chances to put one in.

 

[Hepoas]

Congrats. We will have to wait at least another week.

 

[Xifio]

well bojan is good but he is no messi.... i dont see that kinda spark... i dont think hes gonna become the half of what messi is right now, not any player this time soon for that matter.

Ojalá Bojan sea un 70% de Messi ...
