Culé (definition: fan of the most beautiful football club in the world) Socio (definition: I vote against Barto but ppl with the same definition voted in favor)
I see a lot of people tweet out “we should start Kessie instead of Gavi because we need a physical presence” and I’m like dude, on any pitch in any game Gavi is the most physical motherfucker out there
I’m not saying he’s had a bad season, but I struggle to think of a BdO winner who’s had such a drop in performance in the season after the one he won a BdO for.
Xavi on Ansu Fati’s future: “Until the 31st of August a lot of things can happen. It will depend a lot on Financial Fair Play for us”. 🚨🔵🔴

Ansu situation, one to watch until the end of the window.
Ilaix Moriba is willing to not play football for a year because he wants more millions than the millions he has earned and will earn at the club that raised.
Eric Garcia was willing to not play football for a year in order to play for the club he loves.
Values.
The question is not whether Barça have the money to sign Bernardo Silva.
The question is whether Twitter has enough bandwidth to cope with all the whining from UK journalists on this platform if we sign him!
So I arrived at the Camp Nou yesterday and the first thing I said was:
“Parece el puto Bernabéu!” followed by “Que vergonya” followed by “there is no way we’re gonna win this game” followed by “and as culés we deserve to lose this.”
(THREAD INCOMING)
Qatar Saint Germain averaging 38,500 attendance despite fielding Messi, Neymar and Mbappé and being the only top flight club in one of the largest metropolises in Europe is hilarious.
People who are not culés will never understand what it is like to be investigated for buying referees while Casemiro has never received a red card in Spain.
Esto son los penales que le cobran al
#vardrid
pero ellos niegan que son los mayores atracadores de la historia del fútbol, ya ni se esconden.

We’ve seen em kick the shit out of Messi for years. Pepe put his studs on Messi’s hand. Arbeloa stamped Villa while he was down on the ground. Ramos took out both Salah and the L’Pool GK in a CL final.
Sorry I don’t get all teary-eyed if someone kicks the shit out of Vinicius.
When you see the behavior of superstar footballers who were destined for greatness from a very young age (Neymar, Mbappé, Vinicius, Cristiano Ronaldo), Messi’s humility is more and more of a miracle.
It is INSANE that Man City spent years trying to find a good left back and when they finally - FINALLY - found not one, but two (!) they sold both of them.
Paying more than a million euros to the vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees between 2016-2018 to try to influence referees, while on the pitch this goal was disallowed (Jan 2017, versus Betis), is the most Bartomeu thing ever.
During the first half I wondered why Eric Garcia was so uncharacteristically horrible on the ball.
Looks like this youth trainer was a person who was important to him.
It’s insane to me how many people write off Ansu Fati. Kid is only 20. The most important thing is he stayed healthy this season.
Rashford is 25. One season ago many Man U fans wanted him out. This season he scored 32 goals.
People don’t realize the risk Laporta is taking by aiming for a 200M transfer window.
He could easily decide to heal the club financially over the next 2-3 years by focusing on free transfers, renewals and youth.
It’s both sad and hilarious that after watching so much football, fans are unable to evaluate what happens on the pitch beyond “he kicks the ball into the net” or “we lost because player x does not run fast.”

📌 Negreira's environment says that several clubs other than FC Barcelona paid money to Negreira! 😳
👉 They are clubs from the first and second division [El Mundo]
So everybody on Barça Twitter has been complaining for years that players are not working as hard as they should, but now that Abidal said this openly and got attacked by Messi, everybody on Barça Twitter says Abi "sold out" and is a "puppet" of the board... 🤨
Imagine winning more than half of your champions league trophies with either controversial or outright terrible referee decisions in your favor and then you act offended if somebody points out you have been historically favored by referees…
Breaking news: footballer under no pressure whatsoever can pass a ball over 40 yards.
I don't know why people are talking about the pass and not about Vinicius controlling it on his chest while running so that he has enough space and time for a 1v1 finish. An excellent goal.
People blaming prices but earlier this season the club gave 40-50% discounts on tickets to all residents of Catalunya and the stadium was still half full.
The problem ain’t the board. The problem is our fans.
I suspect that overall Font is a slightly better candidate than Laporta, but the possibility of Freixa receiving more votes than either of them was a determining factor in my vote today.
50 points halfway through the season and the games versus Madrid, Atleti, Betis, Osasuna, Sevilla and Real Sociedad have all been away.
Seriously impressive.
For the record.
The idea that Kimmich wants to leave Bayern is surprising.
The idea Bayern would let him leave with two years left on his contract is stupid.
The idea they’d sell him to Barça is fucking laughable.
Where is the outrage amongst British pundits who would not SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP about Barça this summer now that Chelsea have spent 500 gazillion euros some of which on players nobody ever heard of and even had to give them 25-year contracts to make it all fit?
Absolutely loved Xavi saying that seeing ideal lineups without Sergio Busquets in them is what made him realize that most people who follow football have absolutely no idea about football.
It’s one thing for multi millionaires like Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique to help the club by refusing part of the salary owed to them, for Aleix Collado to do so is 💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️
Barça sign Coutinho for 120m and Liverpool improve their squad and beat us in the semis.
M*drid sign Hazard for 120m and Chelsea improve their squad and beat them in the semis.
I think motherfuckers need to fucking chill with the drama.
A Barça without our two best midfielders, our second-best defender and possibly our most important attacker outplayed Madrid for 45 minutes before losing concentration and conceding three goals.
It’s ok. Shit happens.
One hour after the match my street is still logjammed with cars leaving the Camp Nou.
This is why Laporta pulled those levers. I pray that in the end it will all be worth it but at least on Day 1 it is working.
Many culés mocking Casemiro for celebrating a rare Clasico win as if it's the WC final, but if Barça had played with as much heart as he did, we'd be 5 points on top of the league right now.
Comparing players from different eras is always tricky. We could, however, compare Ronaldo's Serie A goal count (21) last season with the great Fabio Quagliarella at 36 in the same league: 26 goals
Not that he minded the pressure, but it is probably healthy for Ansu that the pressure is not on him the next 2-3 seasons.
He can just focus on being happy and playing football.
Arsenal crying about a decision that cost us a goal 😂😂😂
Just like how they cried after the RvP sending off in 2010/11, ignoring all the blatant advantages the ref gave them in the first leg.
Typical.
Remember when Ludovic Giuly scored but the referee cancelled the goal and sent off Jens Lehmann instead, in a Champions League Final?
Barcelona have been corrupt for a very long time.
Rüddiger does thing on corners where he grabs the defender’s arm and holds it to his body while falling down to make it look like a penalty.
He did it at least twice yesterday. You only repeat this when you know refs routinely give you bullshit calls because of your shirt color.
Miralem Pjanic, a lifelong Real Madrid fan, has treated our club and its fans with more honor and respect than many footballers before him.
For this reason, we should always honor and respect Miralem Pjanic.
Manchester United fans mocking Barça…
Wait until the Glazers find out they can sell 25% of the next 50 years of EPL rights and invest the money in the Red Sox!
The single worst decision ever taken by any club ever, rivalled only by our refusal to share Di Stefano with M*drid.
Honestly it's a miracle we never sold Messi...
It's a crime we didn't surround Messi with a better squad these last 5 years, but it could've been so much worse.
City signed Haaland, PSG starts playing well all of a sudden, Bayern looks like a six-headed monster and Madrid added Tchouameni to their voodoo squad.
CL will be no joke this season.
The mental aspect of sports is so underrated.
J.C. Todibo arrived at a similar age at the club, similar physical attributes but way more talented technically, and look where they are.
Wondering if we ever had such a good 5-10 minute substitute striker as Luuk De Jong. Besides, he will be cheap and his skill set will not diminish during the next couple of years. It’s impossible to get any slower.
Ancelotti, Butragueño, Courtois, Asensio, the club’s official website…
All up in arms over referee decisions that were CORRECT.
For all their trophies, Real Madrid truly is a garbage club.
The Camp Nou, June 1st 2019.
