Barca's former child star loses the plot Everyone had heard the name Bojan Krkic before they had ever seen him play football. You wouldn't have been able to pick him out of an identity parade but you knew that in a few years he was going to be the next big thing of the Camp Nou [...] Click to continue reading...

Iniesta the Great, Bojan debuting, Villa bagging a brace and some melodrama about substitutes as always . . oh, and Spain beat Armenia 4-0! And while it wasn't quite the 7-0 slaughter that Bosnia inflicted on Estonia, it was pretty much over by the 16th minute. Iniesta had a mesmerizing homecoming at Albacete, quickening pulses whenever he got the ball and racking up 3 gorgeous assists.

Fenerbehçe'nin 'yıldız' statüsü ile İstanbul'a ayak basıp sorun yaşamayan forveti yok gibi. Anelka, Kezman hep yolla yolculandılar. Deivid kendisini orta alana atarak kurtardı, yoksa çoktan ülkesine dönmüştü bence. Güiza da hızla bir 'problem çocuk' olmaya devam ediyor. Gün geçmiyor ki bir olayla gündeme gelmesin.

So, La Liga is starting two weeks late as per usual. There are some positives though. I'm back from any holidays in time to watch it for one. Teams also start with there full squad, rather than half the Premier League teams who look to buy in players in the last two weeks of the window. The english scum who go to places like the Costa del Sol and Benidorm are out of the country. Click to continue reading...

Bojan...scored more often as a youth than Darren McFadden


Grégory Coupet - Atletico Madrid - Goalkeeper

Coupet is 35 and French national team goalkeeper, so hardly an unknown. However, it will be interesting to see how he performs in his first season outside France. Coupet was a major part of the Lyon success story and has seven league winners medals, although he is probably most famous for this double save against Barcelona. Click to continue reading...

Good morning from a grey miserable Dublin. The rain is teeming down and it looks like it's going to do that all day long.

So I'm loathe to start the day with anything negative. Instead let's rejoice and sing songs at the news that Gael Clichy has signed a new long term contract with the club.

As things have gone from bad to worse recently, Barcelona fans have increasingly focused our hopes on young players coming out of the club's much praised youth system. In fact, most of the best and most consistent performers in the past two seasons have been new cantera graduates - Messi, Iniesta and Bojan in addition to those who have been stalwarts for a while like Xavi and Puyol.

Mit 6:0 fegte der FC Barcelona gestern den FC Valencia aus dem Camp Nou. Den Torreigen eröffnete Messi in der 4. Minute, es folgten Tore von Xavi (8.), Henry (14., 58.) und dem eingewechselten Jungstar Bojan (72., 79.), der das Debakel perfekt machte.

Die Bilanz von Valencia in dieser Saison ist düster.

With 2008 just around the corner, a new wave of young players look poised to mark their mark on the European stage over the next 12 months. Below is a selection of promising youngsters who are set to rise to prominence in the second half of the 07/08 season, and beyond.

Samir Nasri (Age: 20, Olympique Marseille, Attacking Midfield, France)

Against Lyon, a great European side, Barca's 3-man forward line had an average age of 20. Eto'o wasn't quite fit enough yet, Henry's body had finally given out after playing continuously while not 100% fit, and Ronaldinho was on the bench. Andres Iniesta, 23; Lionel Messi, 20; and Bojan Krkic, 17, a forward line crafted in the Barca youth academies, led the line in their stead. Click to continue reading...

Any other team might be pleased to win 3-0 (especially with most players coming off two international appearances) and gain some distance on our rivals at the top of the table, but as always, Barca are our own greatest enemy. It feels like forever since I've done one of my rambling, player-by-player match reports, so here goes. Click to continue reading...

Barcelona 3-0 Lyon

Positives

• 3 points against arguably our most difficult rival in the group
• Messi continues to improve all aspects of his game
• Henry really needed that goal
• Great to see Giovani and Bojan get their Champions League debut
• That defence: Zambrotta-Marquez-Milito-Abidal.

I don't think I need to write a match report - it was the same old problems, after all. That's the depressing part, although I'd argue that it's far from crisis time just yet. The team are in an awkward position right now with a string of tough matches coming up that they have to get results in, but if they can't rise to the challenge then they don't deserve to compete for any silverware anyway.

When I revamped the blog (what do you think, tidier to look at now?), I decided to link to Spanish sports dailies Marca and (Barcelona-based/biased) El Mundo Deportivo, along with the football section of El Pais, the big general daily, but not AS or Sport. A blind monkey can see that AS are in the Barca-baiting business, so there's no sense in a Barcelona-focused blog linking to that, ah, fine publication (I once saw it referred to as 'reputable Spanish daily AS' and nearly died laughing) which doesn't at all make up crazy rumours.

Yes, after much procrastinating, I've finally written the long-overdue post welcoming the new signings to the club, including 2 'graduates' from the B team.

"Pressure? Pressure is what you feel when you're about to die or when you might go to jail; when you have no money, no food. But feeling the pressure while playing soccer? I've been playing since I was 17.
