The ban has been lifted for this year since its still in arbitration.
Good news at the close of the season.

Our records stick on repeat......

They better not play up in they arse and try to sign any big name forward...defenders-goal keepers-defensive midfielders-power players.

We have more than enough finesse in the team time to get serious about evolving our style of play. A physical team like Bayern has both the finesse and power-they would LITERALLY tower over us. All these short players 5'9" and under is not helping the cause either.

Sure will miss puyol

Happy to hear that the ban is on hold. But that moron Zubizarreta will be tasked with buying again. Did anyone noticed how easy Benzema brushed aside most barca players...like they were a nit. If he didn't need five shots on goal to score one there is no telling what the final score might have been. Too many fly weights.

Ban not lifted, just suspended pending the outcome of the appeal. If the appeal fails, ban could be reimposed with immediate effect as fas as I understand. That means we have to move quick and get Ter Stegen on a pre-contract and wrap up that transfer early.

Also heard Tata saying we don't need a Defender which means we shud be looking for a new manager as well.

I realise TATA off his rockers long time.

Watching that Bayern game made me realise how DEAD tiki taka is. The big powerful teams in Europe have figured out the formula after years of Barça dominance using the style. It's still powerful against weak local teams but the big boys done have that code LOCKED.

Remember when we had villa zlatan and eto'o? Actual shooters? Guys drilling rifle shots from 25 yards? We should watch what happened to Bayern and realise that we need to change back to that FAST!

#31 (not even gonna attempt to spell B.Sw. name ) has a lethal bullet which he didn't release all game. Pep trying to make Bayern into Barcelona which they are not and suffered dearly at the hands of Real.

Real knows how to hurt Barça...so when they saw a fake version of that team - they knew exactly how to hurt them.

If Bayern makes it through, Athletico or Chelsea will eat them for dinner. Because they too have tiki taka figured out ages ago.

“Tito is a great football strategist. Hard worker, quiet and brave, having a good relationship with the players. His example is not only directed to the sports world, but the world at large, with dominion. A team needs a strong fighter. In this sense, Tito Vilanova has shown us many lessons. We wish you a luck you deserve. You are a champion of sport and life. In me you have a friend forever.”

Tito Vilanova has died at age 45

The ex-Barcelona coach was hospitalised following a drastic downturn in his health which required emergency surgery, but was tragically unable to survive his battle with cancer

Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has died at the age of 45, the club have confirmed, after unsuccessful emergency surgery.

The ex-central midfielder was admitted to hospital following a downturn in his health which required an operation on his stomach on Thursday, with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu confirming the trainer was "fighting" for his life.

However, Vilanova, whose post-playing career has been tragically plagued by cancer, was unable to battle any longer and passed away on Friday afternoon.

Vilanova's public health problems began after he suffered a relapse of parotid gland cancer in 2012 - a year after his original diagnosis - just six months into his tenure as head coach at Camp Nou as Pep Guardiola's successor.

He underwent surgery in December 2012, with Jordi Roura taking his place on the bench while he recovered in New York, before returning in March 2013 to see out the rest of the reason and guide Barca to La Liga victory.

However, his continued health woes saw his unexpectedly step down as coach of the Catalans last summer, with Gerardo Martino taking the reins in his place.

Vilanova has largely - and understandably - been out of the spotlight since he left his position at Camp Nou but rumours of his ill health have sadly been revealed to be true. He is survived by a wife and two children.

Following confirmation of his death, Barcelona president Bartomeu said in a statement: "Tito will be reference as a man and in terms of football for Barcelona forever. We thank him for everything he taught us. Rest in peace."

[shottah_crew]

Transfer Window ent open yet, but it looked liked we signed 2 defenders today! Lol. Made real hard work of this game, but the pressure eventually paid off.

Hopefully the CL takes its toll on Real and Atleti and they drop some points soon.
