Oh my what an awful first half. This looks like a game from six months ago.

You know nothing, Juan Snow. Nah man, even if they don't give a shit (which they don't) it's got to be obvious to the c***s upstairs that Carver during a full season = relegation.

Hopefully questions will be asked after this? Can't believe Carver is getting away with these shit results. No way he's appointed in the summer at least.

Not sure if serious but it means being homeless here. Language barrier. In Spanish "being on the streets" means you've been set free.

Wait, what's the problem with ex-soldiers being on the streets? Should we lock them up once they end their service?

Young, direct and pacey. Yeah has Liverpool written all over it, I can definitely see it. He's been a failure at Sevilla. If Rogers can finally straighten him up and get the best of him, then he'll be a coup - but I'm starting to lose faith in that being possible. I just noticed that I could have written the exact same paragraph nine months ago about Balotelli.

Think Tello would have been good for Liverpool What does the future hold for Tello? Will he be back at Barca? Latest talk is that we're about to transfer him to Porto permanently. I believe he's too a limited player to succeed at the top level, but he can carve a decent career for himself just by exploiting his pace.

People over here saying Liverpool want Deulofeu. Can't believe that.

I love whoscored. Nifty little table: http://s28.postimg.org/bxhh0im25/Captura.jpg

Spain has Asenjo at 7.0 - I guess it's just a quirk of their engine, and goalies just don't get high ratings.

Looks eerily like my FF team.

Had that feeling for a while, even when you won the Euros in 2012 he seemed to be just straight copying Barca and hoping for the best. He seems to have no answers with both Xavis out of the picture and Iniesta declining. He just throws players in there to see if something sticks.

Weird lineup from us. I don't think Del Bosque knows where he's going.

IFK taken from the goal-line, if I'm not mistaken?

How the near post is defended in the Spanish Third Division:

I don't remember Rui Costa being much of a cunt. But I didn't watch him every week.

V.I is there much difference in the dressing rooms at Camp Nou? Did a tour in November but it only allowed access to the away dressing room. Will be odd Barça wearing their away kit at home too They are pretty much the same. The home one has the personalized lockers and such, but they are the same size. Then the home dressing room has attached larger medical and technical facilities, but those are used in used in our day-to-day to prepare matches and treat players, not during a match.

My opinion about Cesc is that he's been playing an inordinate amount of top flight games since he was 17, and it's caught up with him. He's burning out earlier than other players do. At just 27 he's already had a 10 year career starting for top clubs. He probably doesn't have the mental or physical strength anymore for keeping his performance levels throughout an entire season.

Carles Puyol did that, for example, but he'd always been pretty adamant about not prolonging his career past his expiry date.

was he the same at arsenal? Not as much. http://www.punditarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Fabregas-Decline-1024x768.jpg He broke his leg in the second half of 2009-2010 when playing against us.

Fàbregas always declines in the second half of the season; I wonder if it's mental or physical, but at Barça it was astonishing how he looked like one of the best players in the world right up to January, and then disappeared from the pitch until next season.

Xavi has obviously not been happy with the secondary role he's had this season; we are paying him more than what he's going to get in Qatar, so it's not just the money. He wants a fat contract AND to play 90' every week. He enjoys football too much, I just can't see him retiring yet. It's also better for us if he goes; we need younger legs in midfield, as much of a legend as he is. All in all, his 750+ apps for Barça is a record that's not going to be broken for a while - if ever.
