    Thought it was essentially a forgone conclusion? What's the hold up been?

    Going into San Mames without Messi, Suarez, and Alba and we win. Nicely done. And we were a Dani Alves goof from winning 2-0. Complicates second leg a little bit

    these are our supposed shirts for next season. it's worth noting that we haven't yet renewed with qatar airways. i remember hearing that the board was going to meet this month and decide. the longer it takes, the less likely that they'll renew imo.

    He was fine. He still seems a little unsure of what he's supposed to be doing at times. I thought we struggled creating quality chances for the most part. He gives us options though although the from three if one of the main guys is absent

    Have to think the league would require a collapse not to win at this point. We have all our tough games at home the rest of the way. Celta, Valencia, Madrid, Sevilla

    Still a tough stretch, albeit, at home. We tend to have letdowns against shit squads but yes, have to love our position right now with a game in hand

    Lionel Messi will meet the Afghan boy who has shot to internet fame after pictures of his improvised Argentina shirt went viral.

    Murtaza, five, became an unlikely internet sensation when his father shared images of his son in a blue plastic bag, made to look like an Argentina shirt.

    The boy's father, Arif, said he had made the makeshift shirt for his son as he could not afford to buy the real thing given the family's poor lifestyle in the central province of Ghazni.

    [​IMG]Murtaza with his father Arif

    Following an online campaign to make Messi aware of the child, the Afghanistan Football Federation has commented saying "Messi has been in communication with the federation to set up a meeting with the young boy.

    "We are working to see whether Messi will come to Afghanistan or the five-year-old will travel to Spain or they will meet in a third country," read a statement from the Afghan Football Federation.

    Speaking to Al Jazeera, Murtaza said: "I love Messi and football. I will meet him one day, I want to become like him."

    His father said he had originally tried to contact Barcelona directly in the unlikely event that the club could provide his son with an authentic Messi shirt.

    "I told him that we were living in a poor village far from the city and it was impossible for me to get him the shirt," Arif Ahmadi said.

    [​IMG]

    "He kept crying for days asking for the shirt until his brother Hamayon helped him make one from the plastic bag to make him happy."

    “I want to be like Messi, when I grow up.”

    The shirt was made by his brother, from a plastic bag with Messi's name and number written on with marker pen.

    No details have so far been released on where and when the meeting will take place.

    "While manager Pep Guardiola was giving a dressing room speech,Backe asserts that Messi interrupted him to ask for a Coke. Pep denied the request, saying his players may not have that kind of drink before a game. Clearly in the mood for some delicious brown sugar water,Messi stood up, grabbed a Coke and drank it in front of all the players."

    You trying to get Gary shit canned already? Tough to see him lasting much longer, no matter how tight he is with ownership. The fans are gonna start voicing their displeasure.

    I'm more worried about keeping the unbeaten streak in tact. Also, they can finalize the date/time for the espanyol game any day now.

    Hey guys, I need some help. Do any of you know the best way to go about getting tickets for matches? I see there being little chance the game vs. Espanyol on May 8th is moved, so I'd like to start looking into securing tickets. Is it easier to do in Barcelona around match day, or beforehand?

    :laugh: knowing the sketchiness of the city I'd secure tickets beforehand from a reputable. Also, don't stay in an airbnb, asshole (at least, I believe that was your original intention).

    I didn't actually know because my host mom's brother is on that season ticket dream life. I'd probably go directly through barca's website though.

    You could try for the scalpers but I was told not to trust them. People will get their tickets scanned and hand them back outside and shit
