We have six games coming up in the space of seventeen days which I think can erase from memory our disappointing double defeat opening to the season.

Friday 12 September

19:30 Eintracht Frankfurt v Karlsruher SC, Bundesliga, Setanta Sports 1

The concept of defence has never been a popular one at the Nou Camp. After all, why would a crowd fed on a diet of Cruyff, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Messi, to name just a few, care about what happens on the other end of the field?

Perhaps this silly season's only loyal player, Cesc Fabregas is modeling the new away kit for next season. Funny how all the rumors from this season have swirled and yet here is Cesc in the new kit.
