I love this. I don't understand a word. Is this how people feel when we talk to them about Barça?

Barça News&Negativity @cynicule.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Gabriel Jesús scores within minutes of coming on as a sub for his first CL match for Barça, a subtle header from a Lamine cross. Not bad!

Lamine scores from a FK, straight through the barrier! Frenkie is delighted on the stands. I'm delighted on my living room. Scoring from free kicks, that's allowed?!

Pure genius from Raphinha 🤯 The Brazilian attacker sends not one but two Feyenoord players sliding as he puts Barcelona in front 👏 Don't miss the #UCL on @paramountplus 🍿

Someone will sneeze near Can Barça and seven players will tear their hamstrings at the same time and we'll have to ask Bojan to change out of his officewear and play left-back.

I'm glad that Atleti finally decided to die on a hill, any hill, and didn't let us sign Julián Álvarez bc I don't like him. But the people looking at our first three results in La Liga and crowing that we didn't need to sign anyone after all... please.

Oh yes. (I hope Infantino tries to counterattack and digs out the dirt on UEFA, chaos and corruption everywhere!)

The funniest rumour I've heard so far is that we're so desperate for a striker that we're considering signing Grandpa Lewy back on a loan.

Watching Barça during the transfer window is like watching an old Roomba moving in a room full of vintage glass, except the Roomba is on drugs, on fire, and every glass that shatters somehow costs 50 million euros.

“FIFA is not a private enterprise. It is a body held in trust for the game and its members. Those appointed to serve it carry a fiduciary duty, a duty of service over power. Where that duty is not upheld, accountability cannot be optional.” holy hell, CONCACAF brought out the axe against Infantino

Is Infantino so insulated from public criticism that he thought it was a good idea to do this now, after the many complaints about this year's World Cup, or did he think the promise of money would sway the FAs anyway?

000

Barça News&Negativity @cynicule.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Since I went to sleep last night, FIFA put out a whiny statement vaguely blaming the media for their plan to sell the World Cup being 'misunderstood', Infantino's closest advisor has resigned (rats fleeing the sinking ship!), and the Asian Federation joined UEFA and CONCACAF in their refusal.

Kevin Lamour, who was mistakenly named in some early reports as a mastermind of this disaster, has issued a scathing statement essentially daring Infantino to fire him as FIFA’s chief operating officer and laying bare how bad things have become under the fifa president. Calls for regime change.

The conversation seems to still be geared around the scheme Infantino was trying to push. That ship has sailed. The real question now seems to be whether it is days, weeks or months for him in this job. It is a completely untenable situation now all these various actors are scurrying away from him

I love seeing all these international football executives telling Infantino indignantly, "We are corrupt, but we are not *that* corrupt!".

Barça News&Negativity @cynicule.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Yay! Civil war! Unrest amongst the ranks! I can't wait to see who is the challenger to Infantino's power who comes out of this mess (and will he be even more corrupt, in new and exciting ways?).

Barça News&Negativity @cynicule.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

It's tremendously funny that institutions like UEFA or La Liga are scoring goals on FIFA by pointing out its corruption.

Barça News&Negativity @cynicule.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

If we're going to embarrass ourselves, spend a lot of money, and make enemies of a Liga team, I'd much rather we try to sign Nico Williams than Julián Alvárez.

Also seeing a lot of takes calling Spain's style boring from people who had nothing but praise for tiki-taka a decade ago. I'm sorry you grew bored of watching a team display both technical skill and creativity, it must be *so* hard for you, please write another article about it.

Seeing a lot of takes about Messi after this World Cup, and as someone who's followed his career since before he debuted for the first team... I wish I had a blog again so I could write about Messi, neurodivergence, mimicry, and how Barça managed this behind the scenes for years.

(Alt-text: three pictures of Argentina player Leandro Paredes pushing Gavi to the ground and trying to put his fingers in Gavi's eyes) If I say what I want to do to Paredes, BlueSky will suspend me. On Twitter no one gave a damn if I talked about taking a machete to someone's knee.

Happy for Lamine Yamal (who would have been blamed by a certain part of the population had Spain lost, nevermind that he's a 19-y-o coming back from an injury), for Ferrán Torres (so he *can* score!), for Pau Cubarsí (so we *can* defend!), and for all the other Spain Barça players.

The way Florentino Pérez keeps banging on and on about the Negreira case, and throwing wilder and wilder accusations out there... either he's trying to create a smokescreen for something that's threatening to come out about RM, or my previous guesses about senility are correct.

It'll be fun to see the World Cup final with all the players wearing N95s on the pitch, and using the half-time show to be given supplemental oxygen.

If I weren't such a firm believer in his peerless sense of ethics, I'd suspect Gianni Infantino to have a Kalshi/Polymarket account and a lot of money on Argentina advancing.

If Pochettino had the cojones, he should just... not play Folarin Balogun against Belgium. It's like someone in the USA government said, "um, despite everything, we're earning good will from a lot of foreign countries. How can we stop that immediately and make them hate us again?"

Ugh. And it's all out in the open and no one cares, except the people who celebrate it. It stinks. Really, at least Blatter was a bit classier than this. Jail will be too good for Infantino when his day comes.
