    Frankfurt 1:0 vs. Porto in the 1st half, 3:2 agg. Bayern, BVB and Frankfurt showin how it's done. Schalke and Leverkusen should be ashamed.

    Lol Pardew taking a page out of Zidan's playbook. They got the win doe. Arsenal on the other hand, not so much. They totally forgot how to score... Ozil was lackadaisical. Pool leapfrogging Arsenal for 2nd place. Let's hope City loses their next 2 games.

    Oh, and a Thiago highlight video. LOVE him on this Bayern team. Seeing Thiago, Goetze, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Robben, Lahm, Alaba, even Kroos...passing the ball to each other is a pure delight.

    Thiago is a true professional (and a really nice and polite guy, too). I hope he retires a Bayer :).

    Missing him much? ;)

    Do Spanish newspapers report interest of Barca in Thomas Mueller? It's a rumor that keeps coming up in German newspapers.

    He will never leave Bayern...

    TBH, I do miss him as Xavi is nowhere close to where he used to be, getting old and all. I have heard a few rumors about Mueller coming to Barca but those are simply pipe dreams. Barca needs a striker in the twilight years of his career. Someone in his prime years will not come as nobody will take Leo's spot, but then again it wouldn't surprise me taking in consideration the joke of administration we have going on now.

    Never saw Cruyff play so can't put him on my top 5.. Xavi and Iniesta are on my top 10 though.

    They are 1st and 2nd if not for Cruyff's symbolic value(winning La Liga after 14 years during pro-Madrid dictatorship of Franco). That's like not listing MJ in your top 5 and they say "I have him in my top 10".

    More like not listing Bill Russell since it's probably about eras and personal experience.

    Lol, I know the impact that Cruyff had on Barca both as a player and as a coach. I didn't watch him play but I know the history of our club and I saw him coach our dream team. The list I gave is the players I watched play and in cases I like them far more for their character, personality, and because they had an impact on my life in one way or another. See below why I have Pep at the top.


    I first started watching/following/rooting for Barca in 92 or 93 (was 6 at the time). At the time, my father worked on cruise ships and would be out of town for months. Needless to say I didn't see much of him during my childhood. On one of those cruises he went to Europe and Barcelona was one of those stops. He came home a couple of months later and brought me a gift that till this day I still cherish. It was a Barca jersey with the number 4 which belonged to Pep Guardiola. I had no idea who Barca was much less Guardiola but it was a gift from my father and I loved it. I still have the jersey at my parents house, btw. Anyhow, I started following Barca since then and haven't looked back (except maybe for a year or 2). Guardiola was never a truly great player, yet, I still put him at the top.


    Yah, Yah, cool story bro...

    Barca with 3 losses in their last 5 games and only 3rd in Liga. What's up with that, Reeko? Thought you guys would crush Europe with Neymar.
