Leonardo Ponzio was sent off on the 90th minute for Zaragoza in their 2-2 draw with Racing and won't play against us.

Welcome back to The Show, RZ. Now here's your whupping.

BTW, who's still on this team from their last time up? I see they picked up Uche from Getafe.

BTW, I just found out that time for the match is 1:00 PM and NOT 12:00PM, becaue on the match day LA will be eight hours behind Barcelona as opposed to now (seven hours)...

Sunday, 25 October 09, 13:00 LA TIME

It would be appreciated if a Mod could change it...

Dani Alves sidelined for three weeks.

Next three weeks: home to Zaragosa and Mallorca, away to Osasuna... oh, and away to Rubin Kazan.

Chygyrinsky received the medical clearance and is available for selection for this match.

Henry is recovering very well and might be ready before this match...

Pique needs a rest. Hopefully Txygry can play at least 60 minutes.

I think Pep should start Rafa. He needs to get PT now so we can see if he's just out of form or if he's really lost a step.

I guess you're right. He's been awful so far this season, but maybe some playing time would help him reach his form. In that case, I'd like to see:

Bojan------Ibra-----Messi
Iniesta------Xavi
Yaya
Maxwell---Rafa---Pique---Puyol
VV

I'd like to see Bojan get a full 90' on the left. Also, with no Alves, we lose his offensive contribution, so Maxwell instead of Abidal. And I'd sub in Txygry for Pique around the 60th to give the bearded one some much-deserved rest.

Hopefully But you're right. It would be a bit reckless, if Rubin's Rafa is the one that shows up.

i am kind of hoping messi gets to rest and we could let pedro or bojan play..... that should still be enough for valladolid, if its not we could sub messi in

I'd actually like to see the two beards starting...

No time for foolin' around with Rafa. He comes in as a sub to give one of the beards a rest.

I predict that 75% of Robbie Mustoe's commentary will be about Jermaine Pennant.

Pennant commentary vs Barcelona possession

That's a helluva prop bet.

They do that all the time with any former premier league player. I'm talking about almost every British commentator. Against Rubin, it was the same thing. They were talking about Barcelona missing Thierry Henry so, so much....like he was the same player he was in 2003.

Abidal is playing pretty well of late....too bad he couldn't crack the starting eleven today.

There is still 35 minutes until kickoff, but this stream should switch to our game after Valencia-Almeria is over: http://www.justin.tv/alv3/popout .
