Hello Again

Hey fellas, long time no see.

I promised I'd drop back in and its been a while. Thought I'd say hi.

Have been living in BCN a month now and enjoying it. Only just starting with uni, so being typically lazy and sleeping in has suited me plenty.

Living the Barca life and have been to matches against Sevilla, Ajax and Real Sociedad. Will be at the match against Almeria this weekend.

I do have some photos. I can upload them later if you like...

Increasingly happy with our performances.

Wasn't too chuffed with what I was seeing early on, but felt Tata needed time as always and I do think we are now heading in a positive direction. Some of the combination play has been superb and we are working a lot harder off the ball, which you all know I like.

Evidently Valdes has been superb and we've had some excellent performances from a number of players.

Cesc, Pedro and Alexis all enjoying improvements, though consistency is the key.

Neymar has been the sweet surprise. I didn't think he'd fit in so quickly, but he's done magnificently. Clearly a player with a very high football IQ. His movement and link-up play has been superb. Watching him in the stadium is just a treat, only Messi lifts the crowd like Neymar. Great signing. I just hope he gets over the standard Barca disease contracted by our forwards which renders them a) incapable of knowing when to shoot and b) useless at shooting when they need to. He scored a scrappy goal vs La Real, but he really needs to hit one in and the confidence should then come.

In addition, I've been up to visit Freecat's village and partied with this fine gentleman.

Good times. Hope all is well and I'd love to answer your questions/ hear what's been going on.

PS. Before I forget, I'm going to bump my recent article on Marc Bartra. Superb progress from him: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1794865-fc-barcelona-inspired-marc-bartra-deserves-extended-run-as-a-starter
