Los Cules strolled to a comfortable 4-1 win over Racing last night thanks to a double from the Messiah and two additional goals from Pique and Ibracadabra. What else did you expect? For Puyolita to bag a hat-trick of own goals? That won’t be happening anytime soon! These folks are on a roll… and Pep Guardiola didn’t even need a mud bath.

“I am satisfied with the first and second half. We were serious throughout. We didn’t want to go crazy making unnecessary efforts, we passed the ball well and that made us stronger. We controlled the game,” Pep said after the game.

In other news, Samuel Eto’o is demanding around €3m (£2.7m) from Senor Laporta as part of the Barca to Inter deal. If he needs help, Potter Perez is just a phone call away…. or not.

That’s a photo you don’t get to see everyday eh, futbolitas? Joan Laporta shaking hands with ousted Madrid president, Roman Calderon in a photo dated two months ago!

Things have changed but Laporta believes that Barcelona are not facing a rough patch now. Uh, he should sit with Galliani and reiterate that point of his about AC Milan.

“It is true that we have suffered two results that were not good but remember, we are in a privileged situation. (We are) leaders of the Spanish Championship with a four point advantage over the second placed team (Real Madrid) and with many chances to reach the final of the King’s Cup with our two goal advantage over Mallorca. (We also) have many chances in the Champions League against of Lyon,” Laporta concluded.

Well, at least Barca are in an ‘OK’ position to assure their fans….
