i also felt as if a family member was leaving. pep revolutionized everything, from the dressing room to player roles, to the football we played. absolutely remarkable. i knew his time would be cut short because of his one year contract extensions but i never would have expected it to be this soon. at first, i took it as it came. but after a day or two it really hit me. even though i have never met the guy or seen him face to face, im pretty sure i speak for everyone when i say pep was the perfect manager for barca. he loved the team and players and he had my utmost respect. it's going to be really emotional for me during the game with rayo..i really feel like we are losing a family member, a member of the barca family.. because that's what barca is..a family
IN PEP WE TRUST

amazing piece of writing...totalbarca has some incredibly talented writers!!!

"And make no mistake: this week has been pure pain."
I lol'd
cant wait for the rayo game..wanna see some youngsters maybe give affelay some minutes?

i just rewatched the game and noticed a few things
1) john terry is garbage. whats his deal with sanchez? he clotheslined him in the first leg and now knees him in the back?
2) 3 games in 7 days and our players were extremely tired
3) fabregas sometimes needs to think twice about returning a pass..he always tried to return the 1-2 pass no matter how impossible the pass is.. he really realllyy reeeeally had a game to forget should've been subbed off for pedro
4) busquets is an amazing player
5) sanchez is a workhorse and creates so much space..more credit should be given to sanchez. if he can remain injury free he can be a HUGE part of barcelona next season
6) sometimes pep is a little stubborn and i may not always understand his lineups and substitutions but hey he's the boss
7) busquet's emotion right when he scored the goal was priceless.
8) our players worked so hard and i can't even be mad at them
9) id rather lose playing true to our style than to win by defending like cowards for 180 minutes
10) whoever gets chelsea in the final will have it easy

still behind ya buddy
win or lose
<3<3

thats exactly what i said!!!! that goal was the exact one he scored against valdes in the copa del rey!!!
SHOULDNT A GOALKEEPER KNOW THY ENEMY?!?!? i mean if madrid had any one that could score it'd be him and yet he pulled the same goal a few months ago..comon valdes reaaallly??

that last sentence gave me the chills!!
AAAHHH cant wait!!!!
WHAT A WEEK!!!!

going to be a great match!!!
VISCA BARCA!!!
