    An away game in Barca, the last of the crazy busy April of 2 games/week, after this only 1 game per week.
    Guess who should be back at last after the ridiculous 3 game ban - carded vs. Malaga, sat out Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, and will miss Osasuna unless ban overturned belatedly): [​IMG]
    against our city rivals Espanyol, Los Pericos:[​IMG]

    at their place:

    We play at 11:45 West Coast, 2:45 East Coast in North America.


    We won 4-1 at our place


    This time we play after Real (who host Valencia). No more midweek matches so should be all "Grand Once" from here on out:

    MAtS
    Roberto* - Pique - Umtiti* - Alba*
    Raki - Busi - Ini
    M-S-N
    * might not be eligible if they pick up a card vs. Osasuna

    Predicting 1-3 (Neymar, Messi, and Suarez)

    Card Count (does not include Osasuna game):
    4: Sergi Roberto, Alba, Umtiti
    3:/8. Gomes, Busquets (8), Suarez (8)

    I'm leaving for a little vacation in New Mexico in a couple days so I am posting this before the midweek game, hopefully I can watch in ABQ.

    Not much to it, win and hope. Or in this case, hope and then win.

    Nice touch on the parrot @Gilmango :ROFLMAO:

    Shitmes of course cause he scored two goals. One good effort and one on an open goal. Seriously he's not a fighter and against espanyol you need a fighter.

    Hey, how many times have we seen players miss open goal chances? At least he took both of his. Give him some credit.

    Credit for what? Scoring two goals in a 7-1 win, while being abysmal entire season ruining chemistry and dynamic of the entire team? For 35m€? Gimme a break please. He's not worthy of playing for Barca like this.

    Great .. Gomes is starting ... of course those nasty animal Espanyol players won't hack and injure him because they need his stupid ass to be in the field since he is a liability ,

    feel bad for Denis for coming back and trusting that idiot lucho to play him even though he is a million times better than shitmes , heck pick ANY Barca B midfield player and you will find he is better...

    Feels like in 10 mins Ter Stegen has had more touches on the ball than MSN combined.

    Neymar probably could have gone near post there.

    Gomes should have stopped on that two handed grab. Would have been a yellow.

    Suarez was onside, still should have shot that instead of passing.

    Well that's the obvious sub for lucho , replacing a useless ******** with another useless ******** just like the juve game when he took out mathieu and brought gomes , such a wonderful coach we have .. although i think he is more comfortable with bringing paco for someone other than gomes so we have two useless ********s at the same time :thumbsup:

    seriously we are playing with 10 men , Gomes not supporting the defense , not creating ANYTHING for the attack , his job is to suck luchos **** and it seems he is doing a pretty good job at that ( Denis and Alena needs more practice )

    our midfield don't create much because we don't have a playmaker (besides Messi). Raki and Gomes both very slow, we need faster midfielders.

    Paco should come in and Messi plays behind the strikers to create.
