Doesn't matter, its a silly discussion.

Only thing I am worried about is when the Final is, i think its too close to the UCL final, UCL final this year is early on May 19 and this is going to mess up schedule for us, if we reach UCL final.

Another fun fact,
When Iniesta scores, that team NEVER loses, like EVER
(true for both Spain and Barca so far, he has draws but never lost)

Abi got the goal so i suppose he should be the MoM, Busquests did well as well, kept the midfield calm under pressing and running as smoothly as possible.

Pepe.
That guy should not even be on a football pitch with professional footballers, he belongs in a mental asylum.

Till now he only butchered people now he has started acting as well, as happened with that Face clutching when Cesc had his arm across Pepe's chest not his face.

Also we had 1 wrongly given offside in 1st half.
These decisions are really piling on now.

Plus 2 post hits, thoroughly deserved victory Plus some even moreeee.

Onto to Malaga now.
Visca Barca.

After tonights match, Barca away to Espanyol are 27 Wins, 26 Draws, 25 Lost.

This away match is an extremely difficult fixture for Barca historically, please keep this in mind, we got a point, played not that well and were also unfairly denied a penalty, all things considered, Match over, 1 point taken, lets get on with it.

Next match is going to be a pummeling for the opposition I am certain.

For now lets celebrate Mondays Balon D'Or for Messi ;)

Recovering from injuries concerns ALL players including GK's.
Everyone is not VanDerSaar.
My point concerned long term Plans, and they are made on "What ifs",
that is why we tried so hard to get Andrada from Lanus.
I have seen Adan play many times for RM., he looks quite good so far.

The thing is GK is a really difficult position to get right for a club and this is part of the reason Barca have decided to continue with Pinto because of his experience and his continued involvement with the team, nothing wrong with that but much more effort has to be put in a younger alternative.
So far i get the feeling that Mino, Oier or Masop are not trusted enough or have not developed enough otherwise they would have been promoted already instead of Pinto.
Therefore more effort is needed there.
Its simple logic.

It is actually, GK can get injured and the older one is the higher the chances of getting injured plus longer the recovery time, thats basic body science.
Pinto is more susceptible therefore from physical standpoint, hence any injury to Valdes exposes the depth in GK-ing, a young GK in the wings is absolutely necessary for this reason among many others.

This is 10 years late BUT as they say "It's Better Late than Never"

India and China just by their sheer numbers are going to be crucial in any teams marketing strategies.

I saw that Cartagena match, Grimaldo was immense, a true indication to me was he was goign great at the end of the match as well, indicating the guy has the lungs to stay in the game for a Barca fullback.
If everything goes all right, he is a legend in the making and this isn't me hyping things, its the way he IS.

I think more the the Quality of the backup keeper its the age thats concerning.
For this i hope the Barca B GK gets looked at, this is why Barca were looking for that South American GK, a deal which didn't materialize in the end. Need to be prepared for the future.
