Actually what is so amazing about barca: I know often messi wins games for barca singlehanded but actually Barca is in general NOT that great because of the names or the star players but just because they are playing such an sophisticated, great football.

their short passing is just beautifull and the way they always go for the easiest pass and just almost never make mistakes.. its just crazy

+ in terms of names Real Madrid ist at least on par still their way of playing is so much worse..

The things that amazes me the most instead is that it looks like they're estabilishing like a long reign of domination and self-renewal of their team, it's too early to talk about renewing a team that won everything just the last year, and as a matter of fact we can't even talk about a reign of domination as long as we don't know yet if they will repeat themselves this year, but I can't think of a lesser future for Barcelona as long as I see talents like Bojan, Pedro, Busquets and Pique growing up.
And if nobody of the aforementioned looks on par with the Messi, Xavi, Iniesta generation we don't have to forget that Barcelona is still one of the richest society around, so we can definetly expect them to put the icing on the cake of their roster with some top-quality signing, expecially considering that those 3 champions still have a long way to go (expecially Messi), so they are certainly not on a hurry.
Maybe the first think I would start to look for if I was Barca would be someone like Fabregas or Silva, to initially part-time bench and give rest to either Xavi and Iniesta

barcelona is definitely gonna get fabregas at some point, but prolly not until 2012 at the earliest.
and then he's gonna be even better than he is now haha

but hey they're the most sympathetic team in the world so that's all fine and dandy with me :p

i hope he doesnt leave soon. it sucks for arsenal if he leaves this summer because he's now started to really "pull" the side and losing him at this point would be a big blow.

I hope whenever Cesc goes, its for a shitload of money.

Remember when Henry was linked to Chelsea for like 75 million (like today's equivalent of Kaka to Man City for 100 million) then he stayed for one more season, got injured and played nowhere near at his best then went to Barcelona for 15.

If Cesc keeps improving in 1-2 season's time he can fetch us 50-70 million, I'd be happy with that then we can raid half of Bordeaux's squad.

As much as I love him, i wouldnt mind letting him go this season for a fair sum because I trust Wenger knows who to buy and who to replace.

If Pro Evolution Soccer master league and football manager are telling the truth, Vela, Wilshere and Walcott should be winning everything by 2013 anyway.

It's gonna be a busy summer of spending for the top 4 with Chelski all over 30, United needing a revamped attack, Liverpool.. well, being Liverpool and Arsenal.. well, being Arsenal.

This is so entertaining! ^__^ Barca are playing so awesomely, Messi is showing that he's a world class playmaker as well as dribbler and goalscorer. Fuck yeah! And Dani Alves is so sexy, that bicycle kick! <3

I'm sad that arsenal lost but I'm so relieved RVP played in the last 30 minutes, it's really a relief to see him play and still strike the way he used to and have great chances like he did (refering to that chest to quick volley he had)

Nice win for Spurs!!

Entertaining game, amazing goal from Rose and great saves and chances from Spurs and Van Persie.

The premiership title race effectively ended today. Good job Chelsea I guess they deserve it.

This game kind of shows how bad Bendtner is relatively to RVP.
Also, I think we got the goal of the season right there.

I know Almunia probably had his vision blocked but the ball was flying directly at him.

yep, i agree bendtner is terrible compared to rvp... he's good with tap-ins and headers and is good at positioning but in terms of creating scoring chances... he blows. I can't even remember the last time bendtner scored from an actual kick of the ball that was not a tap in.

On the other hand, its almost as if RVP isnt even on the team and just makes guest appearences, because he is ALWAYS injured. Arsenal wouldve done so much better in the league with RVP in the squad.... the injury problem really is unacceptable.

Also, WTF do arsenal even do with the ball? They aimlessly pass it around near the opponents box and hardly ever do anything with the ball.... arsenals main problem is that everyone can pass, but no one can shoot... so they always pass it to someone else until they lose possession... then comes the counter-attack + goal scored. I don't count RVP as someone that can shoot because he is injuerd too often (not to mention how much he hits the post). Arsenal need a clinical striker like torres,drogba,rooney etc; to put away all the chances they can create. Without a clinical striker and a competent goalkeeper, we will NEVER win anything.
