"We shouldn’t always doubt the referees – we need to enjoy this wonderful league and spend less time talking about referees,It’s not worth talking about it – they make mistakes and get things right like everybody else....
I am very proud, ...Getafe are the worst team to play against with 10 men, but we took a step forward and my players behaved marvellously. It is one of the best days we have had, one of the games with most merit.”

I'm loving Pep's quotes after yesterday's match. He always seem to take a brave and humble approach that never takes away from the accountability of himself or his players.

It's really interesting sports psychology to suggest that if you play good football, the ref needn't exist. It takes away the opportunity to make excuses for your performance and the results if they don't go your way.

Pep's too soft. You know what's coming..

Guardiola Donates Fine Money To ALS Foundation

Josep Guardiola represented FC Barcelona as money collected by the squad for fines last season was delivered to the Catalan Foundation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS.

All the Barça players chose to give the money raised last term to the organisation as well as contributing some more to the investigation of Rett's Syndrome.

An honour

The Barça coach knows how hard ALS can be and showed how caring he is when he met some sufferes of the disease at the even in Calella on Tuesday afternoon. "It is an honour to be here and to be able to carry out this small gesture to give the money that players were find last term," he said. "it is so hard for relatives and I have great admiration for them. It is just something small to help to see light at the end of the tunnel. We have to fight this."

First meeting

The president of the Catalan ALS Foundation, Enric María Valls, met Guardiola for the first time when he was coaching the B team. "We immediately connected because he had been in Italy where the disease is being researched the most and he quickly offered his services," he said of the trainer.

Symptoms of ALS

ALS is a form of motor neuron disease, sometimes known as Lou Gherig's disease in the United States and also maladie de Charcot, that quickly sees the sufferer deteriorate and is fatal. ALS does not affect brani function or the senses as it only affects bodily movements. The current treatment available can only slow the symptoms and research is ongoing to try and find a cure.

Most importantly, 6 of 6 possible trophies. If you'd told me he was going to do that in his first 100 games, I would have said you were

I did say he was the perfect choice of manager for the club.

Will that do?
