Overshadowed by the violence and brutality displayed by the Spanish authorities in attempting to prevent Catalans from voting in their state’s independence referendum, which resulted in a harrowingly empty Camp Nou and 3-0 victory over Las Palmas effectively played behind closed doors, Luis Suarez finally reached boiling point on Sunday afternoon by ripping off his […]

Chapecoense crash survivor captains side in emotional return at Nou Camp
Brazilian side Chapecoense united the footballing world last year following a disastrous tragedy, with a plane crash killing 71 of 77 people on board- including 19 of the 22-man squad. Chapecoense were on their way to the biggest game in their history, the Copa Scudamericana final against Colombian side Atletico Nacional, and the incident threatened […]
Philippe Coutinho would flourish more in Madrid than in Barcelona
Barcelona appear to have targeted Philippe Coutinho as their replacement for Andres Iniesta, but when considering Barcelona’s style, is the the Brazilian right for the Catalonia club? It looks like Liverpool’s star-man would be better suited for Los Blancos. It’s unsurprising to see Coutinho linked with Europe’s biggest clubs. Arriving from Inter Milan after a […]
The Barcelona Job: Two very different stories
The man who now does his best to sell you crisps versus a very angry manager. Or perhaps, it’s a fight between two very talented strikers, we aren’t sure which one is a better opening line. While the two were very good forwards in their own right, only one of these players shone on the […]
Why we all adore Barcelona’s greatest No. 10
Ronaldinho is the most popular footballer to grace the game. Finding someone who doesn’t like the Brazilian would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But why does every fan feel the need to have such an attachment to the Barcelona man? Why does every fan feel the need to take 10 minutes out […]
Comparing NFL stadiums to European soccer venues
Going to any sporting match is an experience like no other; nothing beats it. From getting in a pitcher with your buddies, to talking about your predictions for the line-up – it’s quite simply, the best day out. When you walk up those steps to the ground, and are overcome with the noise – Arsenal fans are yet to […]
Neymar set to be charged with two-year prison sentence
At school, we are all told not to be bad people; don’t do drugs, don’t be horrible to people and definitely don’t try to not pay tax on any money you earn – ok, the last one may well be a stretching of the truth, but Barcelona’s La Masia could certainly do with adding it […]
Barcelona’s Messi replacement has just shown the world he’s not good enough
When the A-listers are missing, teams rely on the peripherals to step-up and show they can cut the mustard in the starting XI. Could the Barcelona boys do that? Absolutely not, the Catalans only mustered a measly 0-0 draw against 11th in the table, Malaga. What’s more than that, with both Luis Suarez and Lionel […]
WATCH: Messi throws 12-year-old girl tantrum following booking
Love him or hate him, Lionel Messi can act like a 12 year-old-girl, on occasion. At least when Cristiano Ronaldo does it, the Portuguese international knows he’s being a bit of a prick. Messi is in denial to the fact, and tries to continually pass himself of as the most PC footballer going. Well, we’d like to see people come […]
WATCH: Neymar doesn’t see the funny side to Suarez’s bullying
We’ve all be there before, winding your mate up in training or during a warm-up. Could be the old school trick of crouching down behind your pal, and someone pushes him over. Or even the classic, ‘lets whip this lad’s shorts down’, and have a right good fuckin’ chuckle at seeing his undies. Barcelona’s MSN are no […]
