Why is that? its better than biased english announcers..Ray loves messi and barca, and you can tell by the excitement he shows when calling the games. I, for one, love his commentary.

Well, I agree with a few of your statements, but I would say that if you leave solely for monetary purposes, than you are in fact, not, blaugrana through and trough. Im sure what he's being paid now by the club, and adidas, and whatever other sponsorships he has, he is able to provide for his family adequately enough. You would never see Messi, Puyol, Xavi, etc leave for money because of what the club has done for them, and because of what they have given back. These are players I consider blaugrana through and through. Not saying the other players don't love the club, just that they aren't entrenched in its history like some others.

you have to realize, not everyone of our players is blaugrana through and through.

Believe what you want, but its from barcastuff, and Ive yet to see them wrong yet. It dosent say that he will leave for sure, but he has said he is open to a move.

Dani has told his agent that he is open to a move this summer, and anzhi is willing to make a large bid to get him.

whose heard of the dani alves rumours starting to heat up? concerning me quite a bit.

Well, thats it for our season. The copa will be nice, but I wanted at least one other "Major" trophy. For those of you doubting Messi, give your head a shake, I always get nervous when he takes penalties, but what can you do. The little guy is a genius, he's tired, played close to 60 games this year, hopefully hell win balon dor, but who knows now.

You have to keep an open mind, I understand what he is saying. With that many defenders behind the ball the typical passing style of Xavi is not well suited to that certain situation.

A couple things I have to say here:

1. I think we will win in the camp nou, but we will need two goals in the first half at least. I just pray no one is really tired out to much in the classico this saturday, or worse, injured.

2. Dont blame cesc and alexis, cesc playing out of position is giving his all. Should he have scored in the first half? Yup, no doubt about it, but it isn't all on his shoulders. Alexis isn't a 30 goal scorer, yet, he needs to refine his craft and adapt to our system a bit yet, were really seeing the 2 months he was injured now.

3. The villa injury has cost us more than anyone could ever imagine. 4 points behind madrid now (we've done a hell of a job closing the gap mind you) but I can't help but think had Villa been healthy, wed be level or ahead of madrid at this point. He had a knack of scoring in some tighter matches.

4. The villa injury also cost our youngsters, how important is it to them to learn from one of the best strikers in history? The amount he can pass on to the likes of Sanchez, tello, etc is indisputable, I almost think this is part of the reason we bought him, to pass on knowledge to the youngsters coming up.

5. I am absolutely disgusted by how people say chelsea won due to a "fair" referee, If there really was a uefa conspiracy, than one ref would not change that..People need to realize there is no conspiracy, and when we are awarded a penalty it is 99.9% of the time deserving.

This gesture, and the one by Ibrahimovic made me think that no matter how they left the club, once you're a part of Barca, its a part of you for life.
