The Beatification of Barca

There are times in domestic English football matches when a team that is comfortably ahead makes a great play of just keeping the ball - and their astonished fans, unused to such serenity, holler ‘Ole!’ with every pass.

It strikes me that Barcelona start a football match in that mode. If they were an English club, the supporters would have suffered a collective bout of laryngitis after twenty minutes.

What my Mrs will be wearing this year

If a football were a drug, and my lass would contend that it is, the chances of most English clubs being done for possession would be virtually nil. Certainly, there’d be very little chance of proving that the ball was not going to be given away cheaply.

To extend this analogy too far, Barca can rightly claim that despite being found with the ball about their person almost all the time, its possession was only ever for personal use.

Only Arsenal can even suggest that they have got anywhere near the style of the Barca pass master class. Unfortunately, the Gooners seem unable to grasp the concept that doing f-all with three-quarters of possession is worse than having no possession at all. It’s a poor imitation. Arsenal are Leona Lewis to Barca’s Beyonce.

Nevertheless, I’ve grown tired of the Catalan love-in recently. The prevailing opinion seemed to be that Lionel Messi was a dinky little Angel of God and Xavi, Iniesta and Villa his blue and red striped cherubim. In short, here was the divine in football form. Football folk everywhere tottered down the aisles and knelt in their pundit’s pews catatonically muttering the same prayer as every other member of the congregation:

‘Our Barca,
Who Art in Heaven,
Lionel be thy name.
Thy kings shall come,
Thy Wembley won,
On turf by the best eleven.
Give us this day our Abidal,
And forgive us our Messi-passes,
as we forgive those that Iniesta against us,
Lead us not into Tottenham, but deliver us from Arsenal,
For thine is the Pique, the Puyol and the Pedro,
for Alves and Valdes, Amen.’


But there were those of us who, having watched the festival of diva-dives and devilry at the Bernabeu, wondered whether they fully deserved their status as Soccer deities.

Well, after Saturday night, we’ll just have to concur with the best manager the game has seen – this is the best club side we’ve ever seen.

It’d be easy to put that down to the magic of Messi. Much was made of how to stop him but frankly he’s as hard to pin down as a Nick Clegg policy statement. He’s more elusive than Sepp Blatter (and Jeez is that greased pig gonna slip through the hands of justice again? I wouldn’t be surprised.)

"Big bag of cash? No! Where could I be hiding a big bag of cash?"

What I like most about Messi is the fact that most of the time he just shifts the ball on. Until he finds a bit of space for himself he’s just another pint-sized protector of the ball. Not Cristiano Ronaldo, in other words. When he does get space to run with it – well, he twists and turns unstoppably like a fast-flowing stream in evening sunshine.

Clearly he was the headline act, but there’s still something about Caspar the Friendly Ghosting Midfielder Andres Iniesta that makes me go a bit wooey. I’ve never seen weight of pass like it. Xavi too. Yes they’re just tapping it this way and that but there’s barely a moment when a player has to check his stride or work hard to recover.

Contrast it with United, who knocked it about as best they could but always resembled a snooker player gradually getting more and more out of position until eventually all the bloke could do was whack it and hope for the best.

Not since me and a few mates joined in a kickabout on Acklam Park with a bunch of casual keepy-upping 14-year-olds has there been such patent one-sidedness in a match. Like our keeper on that day, you half-expected a very wooden Van de Sar to start trying to edge the goalposts together while the ball was up the other end. Trouble was it wasn’t up there long enough.

And here’s where Barca outdo every other team. It’s not the keeping the ball so much as the getting it back. When not throwing themselves like presidential bodyguards in front of the latest Barca onslaught, Rio and Vidic were hurriedly tapping it sideways to each other or as more tiny Catalans swarmed about their knees. It reminded me of this bit in Barbarella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m__CJdolrhY (Rio Ferdinand is played by Jane Fonda.)

Having said that, I thought that Rooney pecked around tirelessly for opportunity like an anxious free-range chicken and made the most of what came his way and the United goal was a beaut.

Too many players were off the game, not least Park who couldn’t have found a bargain in a pound-shop, and Valencia who couldn’t have found the pound-shop in the first place.

Carrick was part of the bodies-on-the-line brigade. And Giggs was so dizzied by the Barca boys around him that he was ready to call for a stupor-injunction.

Fergie had the good grace to more or less shrug at the defeat. Cos to be honest what can you do? No other team in Europe would’ve fared any better. You almost sympathise with Mourinho’s tactics:

‘You won’t have much of the ball and yet you’ll still have the desire to kick something. In the absence of any alternatives, kick them.’

So yes, there’s no doubt the Pope’ll be beatifying Barca’s behemoths soon. It’s partly club ethos – Abidal lifting the trophy demonstrated that perfectly – and it’s partly happy accident that Xavi, Iniesta, Messi et al have arrived at this same moment in time.

All I know is that to begrudge this team anything is about as mean-spirited a sentiment as you can imagine. I suggest you join me, Barca fans, and millions of Scousers everywhere in hailing a brilliant performance by a wonderful side.

  1. Congratiolations to barca, but i was sick of the dominance so much so that i started to subconciously support man utd. The same happened to my friend who chose not to continue eatching the game on "religious" grounds (supporting manure is afterall a sin) and turned of the tv set and went to bed. I chose to sin.

  2. Agreed, it was good to see how the game can be played by a team of superstars, with not one diva amongst them.

  3. Good stuff Robbo, I loved the video link and the prayer was top notch.


    I thought Utd did well.......

    For about 10-12 minutes, after that it was just embarrasing. That gobshite Evra loves to talk about "Men against Boys", well if his team were the "Men", then they were a trans-gender, cross dressing, up the jaxxy taking version of "Men".

    To be honest I thought the game was done and dusted when Barca scored their first, fair play to Utd for clawing one back, but in the second half it was all way one way traffic. The United defence was a shambles and they seemed to panic every time they managed to get a sniff of the ball, it was like a childrens pass the parcel game, they couldn't wait to give it away.

    In the end the best team didn't only win, but they won easily, I thought Utd would of put up more of a fight, but it wasn't to be. Congrats to Barca and their dignified manager.

  5. fbh, I don't think last night's match reflects badly on the PL, lets not forget that all 4 Premiership teams made it to the knock-out stages. Arsenal beat Barca at the Emirates and were drawing 1-1 at Camp Nou before RvP was sent off.
    Barca are a phenomenen and would of beaten any team last night if they had played like that.

  7. Seriously though, Arsenal may well be barca-lite, but when it comes to closing barca down, they did manage to do it with a little more credit than United.

    I believe fergie saw it and he will remedy it.

  8. barcas orgasmotron was on a limp pre ejaculate setting for me cos I Think they're a bit boring . sorry

    Man utd would have needed a positronic ray to stop messi.

    Arsene wenger reminds me of Professor Ping (played by Marcel Marceau), who tells his team (Pygar the flightless angel) it is capable of flight, but merely lacks the will. He's wrong tho.

  9. G'day all.

    Barca outplayed Man U and deserved 3-1 win.

    @H2H - I think FBH is right. Last night match shows the difference between the champions of respective leagues.

    This PL season was not the best season. It was way below the standards..# of goals scored by Top 3 teams and the points eventually earned to win championship was far too less than what we have seen previously.

    Barca > (Top 3 of all leagues)

  10. Fair play to Barcelona but I didn't really enjoy the match, where were the incidents? excitement? grit? etc. Barca the new Federer?

    This is Mostly not redundant, what's with this profile thing?

  11. Of all the match summaries I have read, the unerringly accurate tippy tappy v snooker player analogy is the most appropriate yet.

    But we all wanted the likes of White/Trump/Higgins (whirlwind variety) to win didn't we, not the robotic potting machines of Davis/Hendry/Higgins (ladbrokes variety).

    Thats what I don't like about Barcelona, they are un-exitingly perfect. Like a beat-machine to Def Leopard's one handed drummer.

    I would rather watch Blackpool every day.

  20. I HATE BARCELONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There I've said it. And I'll say it again....

    I HATE BARCELONA!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't like them as people and I think that at least 8 of the team would give Thierry Henry a run for his money to be named cheating weasel of the year. I think someone needs to give Sergio Biscuits a proper kicking so he knows what proper pain is. Lionel Messi is lucky and Dani Alves is a twat.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nice little blog Robbo, and good to see pics of scantily clad ladies appearing again.

    I enjoyed the match the other day - I wasn't too fussed about who won. I probably leaned more towards Barca cos the only thing worse than a Utd fan is a smug Utd fan, but the match was a good one to watch, and I think the 3-1 scoreline flattered Utd. 5-0 would have been justified. Valencia was terrible, Park was ineffective, Carrick was outnumbered, and Giggs and then Scholes looked like 36/37 year olds. Berbatov's alledged hissy fit was the icing on the cake for me.

    Blatter is a cunt. And so is Lewis Hamilton. I was wondering how long it would be before the 'Is it cos I is black' excuse came out. He ran two blokes off the road and didn't see anything wrong with it. I wish he'd fuck off and take his missus and his dad with him.

  22. OK Barca were really so much better than Manu.

    Too many players didnt turn up and for me Giggs was the main absentee,Park did his damndest in the first 10 mins, but after that only one team in it.

    I renember seeing a stat after about 15 mins 100 - 35ish? pass completion I thought so what (Arsenal tippy tappy like) but then 1-0 Barca, Rooneys goal from start to finish top moment

    Fairplay to SAF, he knew he was well beaten

  29. Wenger has Fabregas bluffed but he obviously can't fool Nasri.... Nasri wants more than promises.

  30. Same thing happened with Flamini. They allowed his contract to run down and in the end neither had a holding midfielder nor got any cash for him to fill the hole.

    That one person leaving alone set the kids a couple years back.

  31. wouldn't it be hilarious if SAF loses the plot and becomes Wengers mark 2..... buying in a team of tipsy tsppy lightweights - gibbs, modric, young, sneijder, nasri - all excellent happy crappy tippy tappy players of course but no match for barca

    It would only work if he ALSO gets he Ronaldo back as a spearheaded impact player. And tests not going to happen.

    Messis the man.

    Without messi I can't see barca winning owt either. Without a cutting edge I wonder how effective the endless -yawn- passing game would be. I suspect if you stuck messi into the stoke team people would be saying "4-4-2" with big lads is the future of football

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm a bit late I know, but Barca for me are a bit like a box of cream cakes - great for the first one or two, but quickly become a bit sickly.

  33. this of course is why the prem clubs are plotting to reconfigure the youth academies , so they can attract englands best talent. Barca has the whole.of Spain as catchment area, man u has one hours drive around OT ...

    The flaw in thud plan is that there are 5 clubs who have realistic chance of winning the league ( therefore can attract the best youth players)

    the oil billionaires st Man city and chelsea have no interest in nurturing young English players - takes too long - but a) they now have to, with the new rules and b) they have to make it more difficult for the competition

    So I can't ever see the concentration of hone grown talent thrive got at barca ever happening here. Mores the pity for the England squad

    No I’m not!

    I watched the first 15 minutes of the game and then went and had a nap — predicted 3-1 Barca victory, even though I support Man Utd!

    SAF should have left Giggs (overwhelmed by the timing of the MPs pronouncement), Park (had done his running around), Chicharito (too soon for such a big occasion) and Valencia on the bench — Scholes, Nani, Berbatov (not even in the squad!) and Fletcher should have started.

Congrats to Swansalona on making the Premier League and well done to Tremlett and Swann for overcoming Strauss's negative captaincy to win the match for England. I really think Strauss has to be dropped as captain if we want to be the No.1 team in the world. Even in Australia last winter he was defensive when we had them 7 or 8 down. We need a ruthless captain who will put his foot on the oppositions throats when they're down not ease off.

    Also, I think election should happen only if there are more than one person applying for the post. In this case it has been Septic Bladder alone going ahead and wooing African and American chiefs to help him for another term at office.

  75. Ok AH, ive been sussed. Im not A Man U fan.
    Would a mature debate include this?....Clearly the best team in this years EPL couldnt get close.
    So how do you think an overtly physical, aggressive team of no-nonsense chaps such as the legendary Don Revie's Leeds team of late 60s/early 70s playing on a terrible mud bath pitch have coped against this lot?
    Clearly comparison is difficult, and I realise most of that Leeds team would be sent off in this era, but would they have done a better job than Mourinho tried with Real? Is this just sour grapes and envy? Am i mad?

    I agree that Barca are far superior to Man U, however I don't think that reflects badly on the PL as a whole. La Liga is a two horse race with all the predictability and "excitement" of the SPL, by Christmas it was already clear who the top 2 would be.

    Just because the top teams in the PL scored less goals or amassed less points, it doesn't neccasarily mean they got worse, by the same reasoning you could argue that the other teams are getting better.

    I personaly greatly enjoyed this season. Every team was capable of beating every team. The relagation battle went to the wire and only 8 points seperated 10th place from the drop zone.

  88. If Messi was in another team, any other team, whould he be THAT good at it?

    ReplyDelete
  89. He'd still be good, but not as good or effective as he is there, proof of point, Argentina.

    Messi has an almost telepatic understanding with, Xabi, Iniesta and other players from Barca, that has been nurtured over the years.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Would barca be as good as they are with another player, any other player, instead of messi?

    ReplyDelete
  91. Fabregas's mum once said,

    "when they came home they won by six, seven, eight, or nine because always they had in the same team, [Gerard] Pique, [Lionel] Messi, [Cesc] Fabregas. You are not surprised."
    -------------
    So I believe Messi would have been good and effective at Arsenal. Or may be for next season Barca will be even more stronger and beat Fake Madrid 9-0 with Cesc setting up 3 or 4 for Messi.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Again I think answer has to be Yes. A lot of credit for what Barcelona is today has to be given to "La Masia" - the youth setup. They have been coached to play in one style since last 2 decades...they have done catch up with Real Madrid for most part of it and only now they have been able to stamp some sort of dominance over their rivals.

    Noel (of the anonymous type) - on reading your hamilton is a cunt comments, I have to say that while he is undoubtedly a cunt, he is also one of the few keeping interest in the sport alive. F1 has become an almost robotic sport where the driver isnt half as relevant as the machine. Hamilton at least provides a bit of entertainment and shows something different in his driving style. Not that that un-cuntifies him in the least.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Might as well make the most of this account while I'm here - Utd can fuck off from Modric. He's got 5 years left on his contract, and since Fabregas has let his mind wander elsewhere, he has become the best midfielder in the Premiership. If Milner is sold for 24m, Utd will have to stump up at least 50m for him. Or 49.5m plus Berbatov.

    ReplyDelete
  114. AH - nice to see you fella. I agree with your Hamilton comments, but I'm just not a fan of his. People were very quick to get on Schumacher's back whenever he ran people off the road or whatever, but Lewis is doing just the same. He's petulant and obnoxious and thinks he can do whatever he likes because he's F1's poster boy. He's fast and he's aggressive, but he's not a better driver than Button or Alonso, so makes up for it by blaming everyone else for his mistakes. Kobyashi is the most exciting driver to watch I think, and he doesn't run people off the road. Well, not anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  115. And I'll wade in to the SS/H2H discussion too while I'm here - I agree with H. Just because Barca beat Utd, that doesn't say anything about the quality of the Premiership. Most teams in the Premiership could beat all the teams in Spain, from 3rd place in La Liga downwards. The fact that their top 2 teams are so good doesn't say anything about the quality of their league. I'd say the Bundesliga is far better than La Liga and Serie A, and certainly a lot better run then the Premiership.

    ReplyDelete
  116. And one more before I go, as who knows when I'll be able to get on here again - Blatter is a cunt.
