QUOTE(myhotgary2 @ Jul 29 2013, 06:42 AM) I'm not saying u are definitely wrong, but it is a baseless accusation. But hey, if any player can make or break a manager's appointment and career, let him be the best player in the world. Kobe had his second coming, after the departure of shaq. Who better to compare to if not Kobe (if we are talking about player>>>club situations) Maybe we shall have Pep one day, but without the like of xavi and iniesta, but with someone in the mould of Pau Gasol of football, and maybe lift the UCL again? Hahaha... Thirdly, although the verdict is still out on the current board with sandro on the top, i think sometime he needs to be more decisive and less hesitant. But not getting a great mandate, in fact hated by many socios doesnt help either. But he is putting all his egss into this messi basket, hopefully it will pay off ala lakers. Although Laporta, with all his mistakes and his secrecy about them, he did achieve a lot and went from strength to strength with us. Do we want him back? Debatable, as he also left us in a financial state of sh!t, which is according to Sandro, so nobody knows if it is true. Second coming for Laporta guys?  Hahahah I like this analogy but I would like to add a twist to it. Howard got van Gundy fired cause he wants his own and what happened? Let's not hope Messi goes the Howard way  |

QUOTE(sinoffire @ Jul 29 2013, 11:03 AM) so, basically, barca board is just looking somewhat at a head coach that knows how to play the kiki-lala footie, eventhough without much success in his career? bad move i'd say. Barca holds philosophy in a high regard as they want to follow one philosophy so getting a man who shares the same philosophy is paramount. For that same reason the board rejected Mourinho in favor of Pep. I didn't like Mourinho's defensive style (back then) and didn't understand why there were so many rumors in the papers back then. I'm glad they rejected him. I thought it was going to be van Basten though. |

I really like Madrid's summer activity so far except for Bale. Isco is the one that got away for me. He is and could've been the heir to Iniesta at Barca. He is to me going to be as good or even better than Iniesta. I've been watching European football since 1995 and to me Isco is in the top 10 in terms of talent. And he is a Barca fan to boot. Just like Ozil and Modric. And soon to be Suarez. I guess Madrid likes to sign Barca loving players  Illaramendi is good but was surplus to requirement for me. To make matters worse, Isco, Illa and Ozil were all offered to us last season (not Ozil of course) but the board rejected. Now the only young player that I would like Barca to sign is Oliver Torres. He impressed me A LOT in that cameo appearance vs. us at the end of the season. He's going to be amazing. Different type of player compared to Isco. Oliver is closer to Thiago. Hopefully they included a 1st option as a trade off to the low transfer fee of Villa. Villa seems already to be working to influence Oliver as they are team mates  And he is Barca friendly too. But I won't be surprised if they won't go for him as we have someone similar in Sergi Samper. I guess it's just a matter of time Madrid will snap him up. It doesn't even matter that he's from their cross town rivals. Money talks. This post has been edited by barca96: Jul 30 2013, 02:56 PM |

QUOTE(Scissorshand @ Aug 9 2013, 09:51 AM) Am in Bangkok, haven't bought, need to go this Sat for the game only, hopefully can get tickets there If you have FB, go to Barcelona Malaysia pages, there are a number of people selling. Whether it's legit or not, I am not sure. For that reason I bought it early. You never know. Good luck! |

Does anyone have any idea if there is a free admission for kids below 6 or if there is a discount or if it still is the full amount.

QUOTE(raul88 @ Aug 10 2013, 12:38 AM) change of venue shah alam stadium instead of BJ some say barca request becos of pitch condition in BJ other say its becos only 20k ticket was sold. 20 out of 80k capacity..quater full only I was thinking of the latter too but I am just not sure if it's a) Barca requested because they don't want to look like a team incapable to fill even a quarter of the stadium so want to move to a smaller stadium to make it fuller b) organizer is embarrassed so had to move to a smaller stadium to save face and/or didn't meet the quota because only 20k tickets sold. |

QUOTE(syazwan @ Aug 10 2013, 01:48 AM) pinto complained he was injured due to pitch. barca request. apparently they already told the organizer Bukit Jalil is not up to the mark ; 2 weeks ago. So it was Pinto who was being stretched after the session. I couldn't see anything for the large part of the session due to the African-Middle-Eastern students who were standing for nearly the entire session. Bloody annoying. I don't mind them standing at exciting times but they stood all the time!! Some even stood on the seats!!  |
