What names? That's literally what you have on your picture. Free cat, free rat -- no difference

It's not my nickname though! It's a funny picture that Vibe kindly made for me because he didn't like the one I had before.

And @free_cat kindly agreed to take it on as his avatar in order to spare us seeing a run over cat all the time.

You had a run over cat as your avatar?! I watched a man eat a baby rabbit alive yesterday and this still suprised me

Well, who knows if it was run over. There were no exterior signs. For all I know it was a sleeping cat or just died of natural causes.

I also had that picture because a user suggested it to me, our missed Barçakizz.

A bloodbath.

My ass LMAO. They are awful and will get hammered. I can already see MSN sliding past that defence like a hot knife thru butter This PSG is anything but strong.

Yah seriously, this year they aren't looking scary at all. I mean they just lost to Guigamp or however you pronounce it lol

Just wait and see...

Okay.... I see Barca shifting into 5th gear

On the other hand, PSG is going 90km/h in 2nd gear. They may have potential but don't know how to use it yet and Barca will take advantage of that.

Yeah, the Liberated Feline is, in my humble view, giving PSG way too much credit. Barcelona beat them when they actually were playing great, pretty sure they'll beat them in February. Well, assuming Iniesta stays injury free that is.

Oh, I'm pretty sure we'll beat them. Just it won't be as easy as last time.

I'm going to get annoyed if Gomes is in the starting line up over Rakitic

All aboard the great Roberto highway to the goal!

Sergi and Busq have been especially poor. Draxler and Di Maria owned our wings

this is trash.

Lucho last year got knocked out in the round of 8, this year in the round of 16.

Surely he should go on Monster.com and start searching for a new job as soon as the final whistle is blown right? Dudes definitely gone at the end of the season

Just pathetic.

LE's team's setup has been exposed countless times now, he should have fixed this by now. Or at least tried to.

No way is Emery not going to exploit that lol.

Copa Del Rey is all we get then. #inb4Alaves

Yea this season is basically down the crapper bar the Copa Del Rey. Madrid is cake walking the league and we are out of the UCL.

Lucho is one stubborn manager, and that will not work. Maybe in the short run, but not the long run. I could sit here and point out things all day that went wrong for us, but lets take nothing away from PSG and Emery. Hats off to them, they played a hell of a match.

When things like this happen, I tend to dissappear until next season, because it hurts too much. But this time I'm too angry... I need to voice some things out.

First: ENOUGH with Andre Clowmes. We get it, you paid 50 milions for this pile of shit and you need to play him or you'll look bad. But he sucks. He doesn't have any evident quality whatsoever. He's not good at anything.
Rakitic recovered 3 balls in 20 minutes, while Gomes only two in 60, and it's not like he does anything better offensively. He has only one *bleep* assist in all competitions. Rakitic is head and shoulders a better defender and he sixtuplicates Gomes offensive output. SIXTUPLICATES. Playing less than the scrub.

With Rakitic:
Atletico 0 - Barça 2
Barça 1 Atletico 0
PSG 0 Barça 0

With CLOWMES:
Atletico 1 Barça 0
Barça 0 Atletico 1
PSG 3 Barça 0

It's a *bleep* disgrace and anyone who chooses Clowmes over Rakitic should be automatically fired from a football job because HE KNOWS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL.

Second: Luis Enrique is the worst thing since aids. Not even under Tata (who had injured players and Pedro and Alexis up top!) or under Tito (with also Pedro, Alexis, Cesc, himself being ill and many injured players) did we play so badly. This team sucks in every aspect of the game, and not only against PSG. We can't build up if pressed, we can't press, we can't defend as a unit holding back, if they park the bus we have no tools... We do none of the basics right. NONE. Obviously in most of the games all of this doesn't matter as we have extremely talented footballers, but when we are faced with decent enough oposition and a couple of not excellent footballers are ont he pitch (most of our bench players) it's impossible to win. Lucho OUT right now and sign a decent coach: Valverde or Pochettino. We would still have a chance at the league.

And finnally, the Evil is on their way to win the same number of Champions as us... in Messi's era. Let that sink in. With the best footballer in history. All these comes down to the most incompetent board of all time and the worst coach we ever had.

BARTOMEU OUT. LUIS ENRIQUE OUT. BARTOMEU OUT. LUIS ENRIQUE OUT. BARTOMEU OUT. LUIS ENRIQUE OUT. BARTOMEU OUT. LUIS ENRIQUE OUT. BARTOMEU OUT. LUIS ENRIQUE OUT.

Oh, and btw, please, learn some football:

IMO, this is the best PSG in years, simply because they lost Ibra, which is a huge liability when playing against elite teams. Yeah, they are not getting the best resuls in the league, but they probably just need to get rythm. In reality they are stronger than ever.

Oh, and they also got rid of David Lolz, who handed us the win last time all by himself.

Poch has already ruled himself out, so do you want anyone else besides Valverde?

I guess Sampaoli would be ok... but Argentine coaches are a huge gamble because they talk funny, they are very difficult to understand most of the time, and a coach works through comunication (I knoe Pochetino is argentine too but he spent 10 years here, he surely can communicate in standard spanish).

How do you know Pochettino is out? Perhaps now, but for next season?

Also, Umtiti is a log and definitely not good enough for us, he is just an excelent aerial player, but with tons of space, he sinks. And his ball playing is mediocre. Awful game from him.
