Barca losing at home again tonight ,

Could be some big movers in the summer

They'll be trying their damned hardest to hold on to everyone not being able to sign anyone for a while.

They will get round it one way or another ,

[MrMagoo]

Blimey, 45 is no age at all.

RIP Tito.

[joema]

Awful. RIP

Can't believe Iniesta is still on the pitch! He dived like a goalie to stop that cross with a blatant handball and the ref didn't even card him!

Still, surely on their way out now.

[DocJock]

Agreed, totally cynical handball.

[MiniMan64]

So surely a Madrid Derby and Peps Past & Future is the only way forward now...

You'd think so, if the balls are working properly

I'm sure they can weight them easily enough...

Louis Suarez, having scored 4 goals and set-up a further 3 goals in Barcelona's 8-0 AWAY WIN at Deportivo this evening said, and I quote, "It's not easy to win these games".

Well I don't know what the definition of an "easy" match for a professional footballer is but if Barca's match tonight isn't it then I'm flabberghasted.

If it was easy then everyone would be doing it

Not everyone but if you play for Barca I have no idea how you say "It's not easy to win these games" having just left the pitch the other night.

Here's a selection of their results this season that are greater than a 2 goal win so no 4-2's or 3-1's are listed

3-0
4-1
5-2
3-0
3-0
4-0
6-1
4-0
6-1
4-0
4-1
4-0
6-0
7-0
6-1
5-1
4-0
6-0
8-0

I'd love to see them in the Premier League for a season. Could they recreate that set of results here?

Short term - looks easy for the 90 minutes.
Long term - strategy, tactics, training, technical skill, fitness, teamwork, determination, ability to do it on th big stage, consistency - not easy.

"Not easy" is when you are on the receiving end of those scorelines.

Highly unlikely. Aside from about 3 other teams, the rest of the spanish league is useless.

It is easy for them, but you can't expect Suarez to come out and be disrespectful about the team he's just played against.

[gadgetmac]

"Not easy" Louis? Just look at the last 7 results in that listing. Most Premier league teams would be happy with one of those results per season.

[hornetrider]

Bitey. 8 goals in two games!

[Noodle1982]

I thought i was being a bit too optimistic with my Barca bet....

Must have been another tough game for the guy.

Add todays 6-0 to the list above.

[mickk]

Bump.
