It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. As the winter sun shone down on Argayo, the normal post-match proceedings had begun. Joe Simmons wasn’t letting his sciatica stop him from having a good time and Dorus – standing on his own away from the rest of the squad eating a […]
FCB were back in action on Sunday, with a late kick-off under the Cocheras lights against mid-table side S.A.D Altamira next up for the team currently sitting 2nd in the table.

They take to the streets of Madrid in what […]
With their first Clausura trophy in sight, FCB went into the game with half an eye on the match of second placed Bar Castillas.

FCB went back into action with a home tie in the ‘Brit Derby’ against CF Tetuan. FCB knew that it was going to be a physical battle in a typical derby match. With a few faces missing due to work commitments and last minute call offs, FCB went into the match with a team of […]
