It might seem like hyperbole, but this year's Barça squad may not only be one of the greatest teams in soccer history, but possibly one of the best teams in the history all of professional sport.

5-0 against Mourinho who's never lost a match in his career by more than 3 goals? And that's just cause Barça decided to turn it down a little and sit on the lead.

Sure they've got a way to go, but this afternoon's game shows how special this squad could be remembered.

Barcelona is almost a country of its own within Spain, because of this the club has a very family orientated feel to it. The players are all very close, as are the staff. Madrid are pretty much the opposite, everything is business and most of there players are mercenaries.

I saw Barcelona at the Camp Nou a few years ago when Ronaldhino was at his best and Messi had just broken into the team. Ronaldhino scored the goals but Messi was easily the best player on the pitch. Even then (at the age of 18 I reckon) you could tell he was something special.

Well, they basically have most of the best players from the best international team in the world, arguably the best forward from the World Cup, and unquestionably the best player in the world running their midfield.

Just stay the fuck away from Fabregas.

They're doing it the right way though. Puyol, Pique(*), Xavi, Iniest etc...all came through there youth system. Even the likes of Messi were signed young and molded into a world class player, plus Fabregas is a product of the Barcelona youth set up and was signed by Arsenal.

*Pique played with Manchester United for a while but spent most of his youth career with Barcelona.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
