Barca can win trophies despite transfer ban -
Iniesta

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta
is confident that despite their transfer ban the
team has the depth to win trophies as they
start the new year with a trip to face Real
Sociedad on Sunday hoping to keep the
pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
The Catalan club will be unable to reinforce
their squad in the following two transfer
windows as their appeal against a FIFA
sanction over the transfer of foreign Under-18
players was rejected by the Court of Arbitration
for Sport (CAS), this week.
The decision is likely to cause most concern for
Barca's defence where they have continued to
look weak despite making several signings
ahead of the season.
In particular, there is a lack of cover at right
back for Dani Alves who himself has received
plenty of criticism for below par displays.

Still, Barca are only a point off an imperious
Real who have played a game less and take on
Valencia this Sunday looking for their 23rd
straight win in official matches.
"It is not even crossing our minds the idea of
not winning anything this season," Iniesta told
reporters.
"The squad that we have has sufficient quality
to win trophies and the important thing is to
believe in ourselves and that we can keep
improving so as to reach our maximum.
"I don't know the full legal details (of the CAS
verdict) but having come through the La Masia
(Barcelona youth system) myself, I think that
the opportunity that it gives to youngsters not
only on a footballing level but also personal, is
very high.
"We cannot sign now and that is obviously a
handicap but we need to concentrate on this
season with the players we have and look to
win."
Iniesta believes that the team is on the right
course while he also has not ruled out the title
chances of third-placed Atletico Madrid, who
face Levante on Saturday.
"They (Real) won a lot of trophies last year and
they will be in the fight. All teams go through
ups and downs and while Real are doing well
now we are making good progress," he said.
"Atletico though are the reigning league
champions and it is our job to take the trophy
from them. They have done well for several
seasons and we know that they will be
challenging."

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can

 A man suspected to be behind the manufacture of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks has been arrested in North-East Nigeria, a senior police officer told AFP on Tuesday. The man, identified only as Ba'na, was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after several weeks of surveillance, said the officer, who was involved in the Sunday arrest. Potiskum, the commercial capital of Yobe State, has been hit by a wave of bombings in recent months, including a suicide attack on a secondary school in November 10 in which 58 people were killed. On January 18, at least four people died in an attack on a bus station, while the previous weekend, two women wearing suicide vests killed six people at a market and two died in a car bombing outside a police station.
