Finished: 2007-2008

It was a nice last match for Frank and his squad, beating a relegated Murcia 3-5. Hey, Giovani even got a hat trick! That one goal, the chip in traffic over the keeper-it was a keeper, no doubt. Henry looks like he's finally found his stride too. Interesting.

Anyway, it's over. Frank's gone, and so will a significant percentage of the senior squad, if rumors are anything to go on. Won't bother repeating what all is being speculated by whichever news source, since it's pretty much a no brainer that heads are gonna roll in FCB this summer. It's just too bad that the board doesn't apply in that regard. My personal axe to grind would be aimed right at Txiki's neck. He'd be hittin' the Ramblas in a second. Buh bye!

Having said that, Pep Guardiola's a smart guy, an experienced intelligent footballer, so he might just pull it off and bring out a 'new' rejuvenated Barça next season. The problem will be if he can maintain success for more than a year, or two. After all the sparkle has settled and maybe the squad hit a dry spell in the middle of a campaign. We'll see. In any case, I'll just spend my summer watching old games on Barça TV, and support Spain in Euro '08.

Until next season!
