As Krish suggested, time has come to take a look forward at the next season. If you ask me, the job is not done. We have set high expectations for Pep and the boys for the next season and that may well not be the most intelligent thing.

The Treble it is.......
Well Fellow Cules..the dream has come true at last and we have something that no Spanish Club (I am taking a liberty with the term Spanish as you all know where our allegiances lie) has achieved.
We have won Three trophies in a single season..Scored more goals than any other Club on the planet..Hell our top three scorers have 100..yes 100 goals between them..we have laid our opponents to waste and have won the respect and admiration of the entire footballing world and to top it all we have stayed true to our Footballing philosophy after two whole years of heartbreak..
We have achieved what the Clubs in the world spend years dreaming of and spend billions on..And while we revel in the celebrations of this momentous achievement those of us who are sober (A sad few lol) have to scratch their heads and ask this niggly question..
"Where do we go from here?"
Where do we go now..?
From the Utopia like dreamland that we are in right now..we have to face some stark realities..
The Treble that we have won now will be meaningless if we have a dreary horrible season like we had when we won the UCL last..
So what will qualify as even a remotely successful season.?
If you ask me we have to win two trophies at least next season..and I Do NOT include the Supercopa de Espana and the European Super Cup in them..
The Liga is a necessity..we need to start dominating the league again and not let the likes of Madrid or Valencia or even Sevilla and Villareal have even a sniff of taking it away from us..
As for the other trophy the Copa would be a nice addition again but I would dearly love if we became the first team in the UCL era to retain the Trophy
You can say that it is impossible that it have never been done..but then neither had any Spanish team done the treble in the entire history of the League..nor had a manager (as far as I know) won the Treble in his first season of coaching..i may be wrong on this point btw.
So why not?
Why can't we win the whole set again..?
Why can't we once and for all end the supposed English dominance and set the Cruyffian model on its deserved pedestal for the whole world to see..?
And once and for all end that notion that you need to buy Superstars to succeed..
And though these questions may not get answered now..they will in due course
Until Then,
Revel in the JOY that this TEAM has given us...
Visca el Barça
iVisca Catalunya
