Puyol was constantly out with injury and Pique was off form Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:59:51 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/official-mascherano-extends-contract-to-2016/#IDComment409420067 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/pictures-of-the-day-barcas-olympic-footballers/#IDComment409328704 I know it wasn't asked for, but it would be nice if the new system didn't have a thumbs up/down option. Recently there seems to have been an influx of users who post the most generic drivel in an attempt to increase their thumbs up count and therefore increase their rep. imo it creates an atmosphere where you have to be ready to back any claim you make that isn't the general consensus without being negged/thumbed down to oblivion. Also it would get rid of the juvenile "I love Barca, give me a thumbs up" sort of argument and it would help the comment section to be used for its intended purposes. I remember Pep's blog and I have faith that this place can eclipse that, in the 09/10 preseason there were plenty of new fans there as well and it still managed to run efficiently. It is my opinion that the reason this was so was that no one gained rep for a thumbs up, they were just there to voice their opinion.

Starting arguments with them only gives them the attention they're craving, be the better person Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:28:08 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/pictures-of-the-day-barcas-olympic-footballers/#IDComment409110490 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/totalbarca/working-towards-a-better-totalbarca/#IDComment407822911 This won't mean much as trolls can always create fake facebook accounts. The only way to truly regulate and eliminate trolls is to do just that. A new system won't really fix the problems there currently are, just make them go through different paths to continue what they do Tue, 24 Jul 2012 12:42:43 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/totalbarca/working-towards-a-better-totalbarca/#IDComment407822911 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/stat-of-the-day-winners/#IDComment407284870 So barca won like 1 more game than madrid? .01% really means nothing at that point Mon, 23 Jul 2012 15:30:04 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/stat-of-the-day-winners/#IDComment407284870 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-22-07-2012/#IDComment406775952 Sanchez and Afellay have shown some promise there. As good as Iniesta is on the ball, being forward takes his ability to come in as he pleases and therefore should remain in the midfield.

I personally agree with you, I don't like the CAM position for Barca Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:46:21 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/should-barcelona-sign-santi-cazorla/#IDComment405824177 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-14-07-2012/#IDComment401777506 If Manchester City came into the academy and offered 100m euros for Thiago, that doesn't make him worth 100m it just simply means that they paid 100m for him.

Athletic don't want to sell so they won't bother negotiating with anyone. That's why his price is set at 40m, because the only way he'll leave is through a clause in his contract.

I'd understand if they wanted extra watering to make the field a bit smoother, but for the field to not be watered at all, it doesn't seem like the whole story's being given Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:52:26 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/eric-abidal-named-the-best-barca-player-of-the-season/#IDComment391822615 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/eric-abidal-named-the-best-barca-player-of-the-season/#IDComment391546671 No, Italy deserved to win Don't give a crap excuse about them defending with 8 men, because they didn't. At least not until they were 2 up, but that's what happens when you've taken your chances and gone 2 ahead. They went out and grabbed the game by the balls. Executed all their chances and walked through Germany's defense. They didn't play negative football, it was beautiful Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:51:36 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/eric-abidal-named-the-best-barca-player-of-the-season/#IDComment391546671 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/eric-abidal-named-the-best-barca-player-of-the-season/#IDComment391545139 I don't think it's up to Italy Thu, 28 Jun 2012 20:48:30 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/eric-abidal-named-the-best-barca-player-of-the-season/#IDComment391545139 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-26-06-2012/#IDComment390842174 To all of you saying the bonuses would have to be paid...we get roughly 50 million euro if we win the champion's league. No bonus would erase that Wed, 27 Jun 2012 23:36:21 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-26-06-2012/#IDComment390842174 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-26-06-2012/#IDComment389864295 If we had won la Liga, CL the revenue would have been even greater. Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:45:37 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/the-front-sport-26-06-2012/#IDComment389864295 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/multimedia/picture-of-the-day-la-masia-season-85-86-vilanova-altimara-roura/#IDComment389255252 If we sold a LB and bought a new LB, that would defeat the purpose. We need depth in areas, did you not see what happened last season? Mon, 25 Jun 2012 18:43:09 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/multimedia/picture-of-the-day-la-masia-season-85-86-vilanova-altimara-roura/#IDComment389255252 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/wenger-criticizes-barca-transfer-policies/#IDComment388821809 I just find that funny. Remember that everything that you've done Wenger, will come back to bite you in the ass. Cesc has already won trophies, and Clichy and Nasri left to win their first EPL trophy. They simply left to win what you couldn't give them. Mon, 25 Jun 2012 04:23:25 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/wenger-criticizes-barca-transfer-policies/#IDComment388821809 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/discord-among-french-ahead-of-spain-quarter-final/#IDComment386450896 Looking at player's individual quality solely, it could easily be said that France have the quality to finish at the minimum 3rd in this tournament. But quality isn't everything, Holland being the best example. In midfield they have Nasri, Cabaye, M'Vila and Diarra all great players. I you could Ribery as a midfielder according to France's 4-2-3-1 that's another world class addition. In defence they have Evra, Clichy and Debuchy all decent wingbacks, with the latter having potential of being more than he already is. With Koscielny, Rami and Mexes, they don't have horrible centerbacks and Lloris is a world class keeper. What they need is cohesion and humility. If they can achieve this, I guarantee they'll be real dangerous by the next world cup Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:31:40 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/discord-among-french-ahead-of-spain-quarter-final/#IDComment386450896 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/stat-of-the-day-passing-you-to-death/#IDComment382804071 whoever we buy won't be a regular starter for a very long time. They'll be a back up, I guarantee it. Botia was excellent against ronaldo when he was in Sporting. Just because he doesn't have a name like Hummels or Silva or another big name, it doens't make him a dramatic drop in quality Sun, 17 Jun 2012 03:17:54 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/stat-of-the-day-passing-you-to-death/#IDComment382804071
