Guardiola to FC Bayern!

Amazing news! Never thought, a coach like Guardiola would be part of Bayern. Pep will be a big help for Bayern, if they dream to be Europe's Champions. With a 3 years contract, Bayern can go to Barcelona's level, maby even better. Next season will be amazing for the Bavarians.

Was fcking shocked to see Pep go 2 bayern . But Im happy he never went to Chelshit or to Man Shitty. I mean these lot spend lots of money but they are out out of champions leauge while Arsnel ( Spends close to 0 m) Malaga ( Cant afford to pay there own players ) are in Champions leaUge .
Im a real madrid fan but i like Pep Guardiola . He is a good maneger . He made what Barcalona ( And Messi) what they r today . And Valdes is not renowing he contract :( T_T As a real madrid fan i wanted him to stay so we can see more flops of him . Oh Well. Who is going to see the La liga match? ( Real madrid vs Valencia) ,(Barclona vs Real Socided ) . Excuse my spelling.
i am kinda shocked to see Adkins ( Southampton ) Manger sacked . He gave them back to back promotions and got them back to premiur leauge from leauge one ( That is kind of Amazin!) . Not a southamp fan or anything but give the guy a chance .
And do you guys want to see Napoli win Seria A title . ? I do . I dont see Seria A much but Napoli is a team i like there and they are second place. They got talent ( Cavani ,Hamsik, Vargas). Cavani might go real madrid next summer ( I hope not Man city) . It was his boyhood club. I'd rather have Cavani over Bale ( both wud be good) 4 real madrid..

Barcelona loss was inevitable and RSO played a fantastic game. I mean we are speaking about RSO who have only conceded 6 goals at home this season. Once we went up 2-0 we dropped momentum, we haven't beaten RSO in their home stadium in over 3 years. Pique did some really stupid fouls, Messi/Xavi weren't looking good, Alves is pretty much done. Valdes isn't renewing his contract, so perhaps a misunderstanding between defence/GK? Puyol time is coming to an end, he'll be 35 soon. Vilanova made his 2nd sub at the 88th minute really weak tactical decision. We need replacements for Puyol/Alves and Valdes. I believe we have Montoya/Adraino for Alves, we've been looking at a new CB for a while. Barcelona/Madrid are both looking into De Gea as a new GK. We also have Malaga coming up, a very deadly team. A lot of Barcelona fans have been shocked with this, even tho it doesn't seem that big first loss in league and 3rd this season with us past halfway isn't all that bad, but are back is really worrying ATM and will cost us in CL.

Barcelona are obvious favourites VS Milan in CL, but I watched Milan VS Juventus in the Coppa Italia, they're defence and GK have been very persistence and solid at the back. Milan has already said they are focusing on league if I'm not mistaken and they're going in this match knowing they have nothing to lose, but everything to gain and let me tell you when a team goes into the match like that, they're the most deadliest. I cannot predict the outcome, but I don't expect this to be a walk in the park, but we don't know this till after the fixture.

I agree with you relax .Dani alves is not the right back he used to be, its still a surprise to me as to why he got into the world 11, nevertheless the likes of adriano ,mark batra, and montoya are promising. I still think we need a defender though who can play cb but can still play either left or right back , skrtel or agger are my best bet or maybe varmaelaen. It was just a matter of time before we lost, i think this is a wake up call to the team to be at alert as real madrid and athletico madrid are by the corner waiting to capitalize on our mistakes.

I hoped Thiago Silva to join Barca but it didn't come out well but at least we got Jordi Alba cheap and he's been pretty good whole season as for ''Adriano Correia'' against Athletico Madrid what a goal ^^

Alba had to be one among the one of the signings of the season, a long with Michu and RVP. However Sanchez has also been quite a disaster and all he does is flop. Even at the Camp Nou they all booed him. He misses all these open nets, and always falls down when he could get one on one with GK, but eventually still fails or flops.

and that's so damn sad.. I've seen game Chile vs Spain 2-3 when they went with two gold ahead. Alexis did amazing work dribbling/passing is his main thing I think they don't even need him to score because everyone scores in Barca and once Messi picked the pass he decides who scores ''will i pass or will i score'' :shrug:

Even when he was at Udinese he was good. The thing is he allows the pressure get to him and when losing possession he just drops down, so he can get it back. He's done that with Udinese and Chile as well in his day, but he also played well, which made up for it, but here he's been on a slump and its not like he hasn't been given the chance. He's some what like Torres.

well... I wouldn't call him Torres he's very often picked for a reason even with Pedro and Villa now in action and in great form. My personal favorite appart from Messi would be Pedro I just like this guy! And what wingers must do in Barcelona is - get past opposition man on the side and unbalance the defensive setups. And I think Sanchez does it very well.. I really don't think he would be given so many chances at Barcelona as Abra gives to Torres. Barcelona so far scores regulary and alot.

Also did you see new Barcelona away kit for 13-14? Catalonians are crying ''in good way''... looks like Spain is losing ground and world cup they will lose without theyr midfield :3

He does a lot more work compared to Villa other then scoring. Pedro is really good, at one point I used to really have a bad spot for Busquets with all his dives and all, but recently he's started to cut down and I've seen how important he had become for Barcelona/Spain. There are many top flight clubs that have tried to sign him as well. Busi and Pedro will be undermine by many because of their dives. Pedro scored a lot of keys goals in 10/11 season in helping us win the league/CL. Pedro/Sanchez both lure the opposing team off Messi and help out in that way, but since when playing Barcelona many teams mark the middle of the pitch. I just need them to score from time to time to let off some pressure on Messi TBH.

I saw it, but I doubt they'll have Catalonia national team by WC14 and I can see Catalonia still being a part of Spain in the near future. Well, keep in mind that Iniesta is Spanish he wasn't born in Catalonia, as Pedro isn't, would they opt to play for Catalonia? I don't know. Spain would still have Mata/Silva/Alonso/Cazorla, but they'd miss Xavi presence. Tho we'd have a strong team, Xavi/Fabregas/Busquets/Puyol/Pique/Alba/Montoya/Tello/Bojan...

This season Busqets showd us that he can become new Xavi in Barcelona.. only a longer one :D as for a dives ''Ronaldo has more'' if it's against RM it shouldn't count as one. Refs do watch games after match and they know what kind of players they are - that's where I will add Pepe will always get easy yellow/red and I was surprised when he cryed to media about getting hars treatment from refs :D stupid ape. This dive from Alves was brilliant... I don't understand why people we're so pissed... Pepe almost trashed his leg.. I'd have done the same if I had such a epic reflexes... brilliant :D

I wouldn't say he's the next Xavi, but he's among the best CDM. His one touch is probably the best in the game today. He intercepts a lot and helps both Xavi/Iniesta in the midfield, however he is quite slow (Falcao goal just a few games back and Torres in CL 2012 S-F). Watch this.



Well thats the thing refs find these kind of stuff out and treat the team/players badly. Alves didn't dive force was met with that tackle Pepe did, but he play acted, in other words could've gotten up and saved Pepe from getting the red. Its physically impossible to do what he did especially since his foot went the other way full force trying to kick the ball. If he stayed grounded, he would've broken his leg thats for sure.

Congrats & good luck to Pep.

Though, I hope that he'll settle into a club's legacy someday. This decision to go to Bayern wasn't ruled by money, making him not a mercenary. However, since it's 3 years, I get a feeling he'll move somewhere else in 3 years. And given how passionate and loyal he is to his work, I feel that someday he should settle in a club for most time like SAF or Wenger.

Barcelona loss was inevitable and RSO played a fantastic game. Barcelona/Madrid are both looking into De Gea as a new GK.
Exactly. And back off from De Gea xd

He does a lot more work compared to Villa other then scoring. Pedro is really good, at one point I used to really have a bad spot for Busquets with all his dives and all, but recently he's started to cut down and I've seen how important he had become for Barcelona/Spain.

What's funny is that Ibra used to score and have slow work-rate and willingness to work in Barca's system but most Barca fans rejected him. Now, you've got Sanchez who, despite poor finishing, runs tirelessly up front and keep fitting in the system but you still hate him? I guess, it's a bit over-demanding at Barca but oh well, it's your way...:p Just quickly on Sanchez, I like him as a player. I see him a mini-Chicharito with less deadly finishing but better dribbling skills. I don't have deep regrets that United lost to lure Sanchez compared to Barca but I think he would have been more welcomed and perhaps successful in United, than Barca.

Iniesta wasn't called up for the recent friendly but frankly, I love the idea of a Catalonia National Team. First, as you said, it's a good team with Valdes, Puyol, Pique, Alba, Rodriguez, Capdevilla, Xavi, Fabregas, Busquets, Bojan, Tello, Cuenca and many youngsters at La Masia.

Secondly, it'll give more opportunity to some Spanish players who were overlooked like J.Martinez, Michu, Munian, Isco, Thiago, Pedro, J.Navas, Arteta, Azpilicueta, Susaeta, Negredo, Domínguez ect...

To me, it's a win-win situation; even if the defence of Spain without Pique/Alba/Puyol/Busquets will take a serious knock. But still, I'm for it. Spain's midfield will still remain world-class and fearsome; even without Fab/Xavi/Busquets. Goalkeeping wouldn't be an issue either. Casillas would still be there and De Gea will take the flagship in 3-5 years.
