Tell your girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, husband, wife, parents, children, siblings, friends or whoever that next Saturday night you have a previous engagement. Yes, the first really big match of the season away at Sevilla has been set for Saturday 29th November with a kick off at 10pm local time. You could plan a real footballfest and watch the Getafe - Real Madrid game which starts earlier at 8pm.
Starting with Getafe this weekend, the next five games until the Mallorca game in January '09 are crucial.
The ideal situation is that we win them all - and that is possible. Although I don't believe we have been at our peak I do believe that we are close to it and this is the perfect time for it. Also - with the exception of Getafe - the other teams (Sevilla, Real Madrid, Villareal, Valencia) have everything to play for as they are title contenders and are more likely to attack us unlike some of the lower teams who "park a bus" in front of their goalkeeper and only play counter attacking football. This expected attacking football from these teams suits us Barca perfectly as we only play one way - attack. This should leave gaps in their defence for us to exploit.
But then again, this is all theory, with the way we have been playing maybe even those idiots fromMadrid fear us so much they play with 9 players behind the ball and only Higuain upfront, that shouldnt trouble us though, we have locksmiths (Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Bojan, Dani Alves...) that can unlock any stubborn defence.
Barca! Barca! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaarca!
sevilla away is bigg????
man we gonna woop them
PEOPLE WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO RESPECT THE OTHER TEAMS ASWELL CAUSE THEY DO RESPECT US AND ANYWAYS SEVILLA HAS A PRETTY SICK TEAM WE ARE WAY TOO CONFIDENT....
DID ANYONE SEE THE BRAZIL VS PORTUGAL LOL C.RONALDO WAS SHIT AND LUIS FABIANO(SEVILLAS FORWARD) WAS A KILLER WE GOTA BE CAREFULL WITH HIM BUT PUYOL CAN GET HIM LETS HOP......
AND REAL MADRID IS THE ONLY TEAM WE DONT SHOW RESPECT CAUSE THRE ASHOLES THEY TALK CRAP ABOUT BARCA SOO MUCH SO FUCK THEM WERE GONNA SLOTTER THEM
Nov 21 - Sports news in brief from around the world on Friday:
Soccer - Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has strained a thigh muscle and is a doubt for the Primera Liga leaders' match against Getafe at the Nou Camp on Sunday, the club said on Friday.
"Lionel Messi finished training on Friday with pain in his right thigh muscle," the club said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.com). "After several tests, a muscle strain was detected."
Barca's medical staff said the Argentine striker's participation in the club's upcoming matches depended on how his recovery progressed and added that it was important not to take any risks.
To be honest, I think the team can handle one game without Messi even though I think Getafe will be a tough team to break down with the "park the bus" defence mentality!
Barca need to keep Messi fit so make sure he isnt risked!
The official website has said that its not a muscle injury. Hopefully its not too serious. More like a sore, or cramp or even better, a really bad bug bite.
This guy cant get injured before el classico again.
messi should not be risk sat getafe i think he is by far the player that transmitss the most energy, without him the squad apears larthargic,
Messi is the most important player on the team . Let's hope that his injury is not serious . A major injury to Messi would definitely be the worst case scenario . There is NO way that Barça can win any title without his presence . With Iniesta also out , it would be interesting to see where the creativity comes from on the front line . Eto ó is strictly a goal scorer. Hleb is still a question mark . Henry ? well , go Barça !!
