I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. My wishful thinking has become a reality!!! Whippppeeee! Leo is gonna be an excellent father. And Baby Leo is gonna be so cute, we're all gonna die of an overload of cuteness! If Baby Leo gets his father's crazy football skills, well, then the future of Football is secure! Other than that, I'd like Baby Leo to inherit Leo's humility, simplicity and desire to be the best too. Those qualities are what sets Leo apart. Oh and I know it could be a boy or a girl but a boy will just fit my visions better! BTW, who's this person who's talking about licking Leo? Is it just me or is the guy a real weirdo?o.0 Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:47:48 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/offside/cartoon-of-the-day-sport-689/#IDComment375116590 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/quote-of-the-day-a-final-embrace/#IDComment355172433 This is brilliant! Favourite quote about Leo!!!

Such simple, trivial words but only we know the enormity of emotions behind them. Pep, you are the greatest man. I wish we could have more people like you in this world. I wish you could be here forever and never leave. But then, you will be here forever in the hearts of all Barca fans. Sun, 6 May 2012 09:55:13 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/quote-of-the-day-a-final-embrace/#IDComment355172262 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/dealing-with-peps-departure/#IDComment350479013 For me, Pep leaving feels like I lost this amazing mentor and family member. I used to take inspiration from his determination and be awestruck by the class with which he handled even the toughest of situations. I was very emotional during his press-conference. My mom told me that when you love someone, you let them go when they need to. That kinda' helped me. It helps if you look at it as something Pep needed to do. After four years of his giving us so much joy, it's time for us to give him what he needs most- a break. So, I'm just gonna come here, at tB every few hours to know more about Pep and how my fellow cules are doing. I'm going to watch the match tonight, feeling a bittersweet joy of a legend leaving a potential-legend stepping in. I am going to fully enjoy these last few days of Pep screaming and doing what he does best on the sidelines. I suggest you all do it too, lest you might miss a few amazing moments of El Mister! We love you Pep!

That's a tough one.... All his memories are the best ones. Everytime he screamed his lungs out on the sidelines, took a gamble on the line-ups, maintained his grace even when those around him were losing theirs....Pep IS a creator of memories. Everything he does is great, is legendary. The fact that he knows how to lose with class and win with style is amazing. I love you, Pep. Thanks for all the memories! We'll miss you.

The expectations from the players is no less and, yes, they are under constant pressure too. But who do we all point our fingers at when we lose? I come at tB often and after a loss, a lot of people are on about how Pep used the wrong formation, how it was all his fault. The thing is, the coach/manager is responsible for the players and how they play.

You don't know how much it means to me to see my name up here. And thanks to everyone who thought it was well-written. Your appreciation means the world to me.:) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 06:00:06 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/reader-submission-this-is-not-an-end-but-a-beginning/#IDComment349777643 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/change-for-the-better/#IDComment349441413 The job did it to him. It's stressful as hell. I bet Pep wouldn't be as grey and bald as he is if he didn't take up coaching Barca. Anyway, I meant that he's stay till he's SAF old. I wish he could stay forever. But he can't and I accept it. Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:18:10 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/change-for-the-better/#IDComment349441413 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/change-for-the-better/#IDComment349439958 I don't believe we don't need a coach. I, infact, think we need the best one. Handling players and figuring out where to put your strongest players is okay but in a team where there are masters of game in every position and new talents bursting on the scene every once-in-a-while, it gets tougher. Also, if you have to handle a floater like Leo, you gotta know when to use him where, and how to get him to sit his butt down in a game or two. Other than that, I think Tito understands Barca and what our team stands for. He should be fine. Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:15:57 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/change-for-the-better/#IDComment349439958 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/opinion-pieces/change-for-the-better/#IDComment349434114 This is a great piece. I agree with you on all regards. I wanted to believe that Pep would be our Sir Alex Ferguson and that he'll stay till he's grey. But I think it's unfair to judge him just because he's leaving when times are bad. Sure, we would've loved to have him for another year. Heck, I'd give away an arm and a leg to have him for another year but it won't do much good, neither to us, nor to Pep. He himself said that he has nothing more to give. And if he has nothing more to give, we can receive no good from him. Pep likes to give his all until he can't anymore. And now after four tiring, strenuous years of giving his all to this club, the fans and to the football world, he has nothing left. And when that's the case, it's better to let him move on. I believe that this isn't the end of Barca and Pep. Maybe I'm too optimistic but that's my belief. As for change, I don't like it at all. But, as u said, it is inevitable and it might even be good. Tito will turn out to be an excellent coach, I'm sure of it. All he needs is our support. We Barca fans need to learn to let go. We can't hold on to everything. Barca is eternal. Losing a good person like Pep hurts but that does not lessen the value or change what this club stands for.

I hope we all believe Tito just as much as we believed in Pep.

I mean, I knew that he was not renewing but I never imagined this would actually happen. Come on, this is PEP! I can no longer imagine Barca without Pep. Of course, I understand that he's always given his all to this club and being the Barca top-man is a stressful job, but it still comes as a huge, huge blow for me....:(:'( I wish Pep could actually feel our gratitude for him, for all the wonderful times he gave us in the last few years. We are what we are because of him today. Our style of play was always beautiful but Pep made it beautiful AND efficient. Admittedly, Barca would not have got all the recent recogition and the tag of 'Best club team ever' without Pep. Since Tito has been with Pep for such a long time, I'm confident he understands Barca and our football just as well as Pep did. I wish to God that Tito does well. We must all get behind him like we got behind Pep. But still, this is a sad, sad day for me....:'( Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:54:23 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/guardiola-to-leave-barca/#IDComment349218514 http://www.totalbarca.com/2012/news/guardiola-to-leave-barca/#IDComment349216072 I just heard....What?!

It would've been brilliant to win. Heck, I was expecting us to win. Winning closely but still winning. But I guess things don't always turn out the way we want 'em too, eh? Anyway, bring on the haters. I got two words for them: 'Second Leg'. Visca Barca!

How does he get to be immaculate and flawless while the rest of us are just mere mortals wondering at his existence... Love you Leo and I'm sure you'll be a brilliant goalkeeper too!
