yeah, i saw them play espanyol last year, they were pretty tidy.

RCD Espanyol for a nice winnable trip to Barcelona would be nice.

at least twice. the linesman was just waiting for him to touch the ball and put his flag up. it's those magic red shoes, he can't control them.

it's a follow on from all the ridiculous impguning games scenario last season when real madrid had a couple of shots at getting games replayed after they had lost. and various teams, particularly osasuna, considered doing ti to Barcelona over Messi. Nothing will happen. It's to try and persuade supporters that some higher power is preventing their mediocre team from winning.

he'll be available at the end of next season when nastic have been relegated.

and linked with Barcelona now. 170027[/snapback] although no-one in barcelona is talking about him. being more concerned about inter and some cheeky ronnie raids.

AS reckons Gravesen is on his way here. no figures or anything in the story. Just some agent quotes and speculation. classic spanish sports daily story. No mention of woodgate though.

aimar, d'alessandrio, ewerthon and diego millito or horseface, pieboy, raul and backham. barcelona are going to win it but 3nd should be interesting.

The whole ' we are too special to spoil our shirts with a sponsor' thing is bullshit. Do people miss that nike swoosh that they get paid millions a year to have on their shirts? 162127[/snapback] they also have the catalan tv channel tv3 on their sleeve.

yeah, i do need a girlfriend, insightful coment, good one. where did i say that the idea of world harmony was shit? I didn't. don't put words into my mouth. i said what annoys me is the merchandising behemoth that is FCBarcelona's holier than thou attitude.

it's the whole 'look at us we're not sponsored we're promoting world harmony' that really grates.

unicef..... not an electronics giant as such. but they have been in serious negotiations with betandwin.com and others of their ilk as well as the bejing olympics. if barca are so great for not having a shirt sponsor why don't more people get excited about athletic bilbao?

nope i'm not joking. the whole fcbarcelona thing annoys the fuck out of me. they're like demi-gods. can't do anything wrong. well from having siad they won't have a shirt sponsor they now have one. they reckon they're like some healing hand, bringing unity to the world through the beautiful way they play football and their mentality on and of the pitch. The supporters are even worse.

they're such a fucking 'good' club it makes me sick. so smooth and smarmy it's unbelievable. and the whole 'mes que un club' talk. you may well have been during the franco years but get over it now. how can you still align yourselves heavily as catalanists and exploit the fuck out of east asia america etc...

luque, no estaras en el primer equipo por el primer partido de la temporada contra Wigan. Eso ha dicho Alan Oliver, un periodista de mierda. now he can read it and understand.

So it doesn't actually matter what players do in pre-season then. Luque may as well just go back to Spain now. 161057[/snapback] exactly. why should luque be motivated when he reads stuff like this in the press? ok you scored, doesn't matter how well you play you're not going to start in the league.

not a chance. they always start the season with loads of promise and finish in mid-table. they shoudl have got more out of Galleti, kezman and Torres anyway last season.

Barcelona will not beat Sevilla this weekend. From your Spanish correspondent. Back Alaves to lose to depor, espanyol to beat sociedad and everyone will be happy.

on canal+ in spain too.

looks like he's going back home doesn't it. a panic buy that hasn't really worked out.

he'll get a win on monday and think the pressure is off again.

pardew and shearer dream team i heard. sounds like none of them could be arsed. sack the players, get the management team on the pitch.

and a shola miss. doesn't get much better does it.

that's the best they've played all season. rijkard is at last managing to work in van bommel. is it a coincidence that it has happened when deco is injured?
