Jagostew Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Did anybody see the barca fan wearing this top? Didn't realise it was available. http://www.xsoccershop.com/smallImage/big/2012-01-09-12/201201091250411689481.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Did anybody see the barca fan wearing this top? Didn't realise it was available. http://www.xsoccersh...50411689481.jpg didnt see it during the game, its a cracking top, but i did see a big scotland flag in the barca end in the first half.

twinny Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I saw it - it looked lovely. Even if the fan wearing it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McLindu Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Affiliation possible? Am sure a couple of great loan deals could be made. I mean I'm sure Barca would benefit with Conrad along side Payol and Piqué , not that's a central defence to be scared of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinically Depressed Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 A few years ago, I wore the Thistle top we wore in the SPHell, which is similar to this one, in the Barcelona store at the Camp Nou. A guy at the shop took a pic of it (it's the colour and design of the Catalan flag), and swapped me a Barca pen for a Thistle one. Now I'm not saying that........etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way his back arced any time he was touched was embarrassing. Still, I would love a Chelsea vs Bayern final as I'm absolutely sick of the media crowd w**k over Barcelona and the possibility of a classico CL final.

Decent player, but needs to stop the play acting. Back to the game, I thought it was pretty boring. I'll probably get shot down for saying this, but I'm not a fan of Barcelona's playing style. Hopefully it will be a Bayern v Chelsea final, although it probably won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be a Bayern v Chelsea final, although it probably won't happen. I get fed up with this. Last night Chelsea had 10 men behind the ball ,most of the time and played to hit Barca on the break. Not having a go at Chelsea, when you play a superior team you often have to be defensive. Most teams are v Barca. But how the hell this makes Barca the boring team I don't know. If other teams would come out against them the games would be more exciting - but more often than not they'd get slaughtered. I suppose you could criticise Barca for not being able to change their style when they occasionally struggle a bit like last night but considering how much they've won playing that style in the last few years who can really blame them? Besides they'd have won if they'd only been able to take a couple of the chances they created. Edited April 19, 2012 by Mr Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Is Chelski's pitch a lot narrower than the one at the Camp Nou? Seemed very crowded and Barca struggled to get width. Barca will stroll it in second leg against the Chelsea Pensioners.... Does anyone else have a dislike of Chelsea due to Bates time at Firhill or am I just bitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I dislike chelsea for 2 reasons. 1. John Terry 2. A$hley Cole Add in the fact that their fans have a history of BNP/NF allegiance - so that's 3 reasons i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cheers lads. I actually thought Chelski put on a great performance last night. Great goal and a stoic defensive performance. Barca seemed vulnerable to the long ball and also some of Chelski's set-pieces. Drogba was ott with his rolling about but was crucial to their victory. Torres or Drogba in Barcelona? Or will it be immaterial due to an improved Barca performance? Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they had a decent bunch of fans in late 80s/ early 90s who tried to get away from this image. They had a fanzine, Chelsea Independent which tried to dissociate from the knuckle-draggers. A lot of English teams have followers of hate politics unfortunately C'mon the Barca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca will stroll it in second leg against the Chelsea Pensioners.... Does anyone else have a dislike of Chelsea due to Bates time at Firhill or am I just bitter This is why I don't like Barcelona's attacking style. Everything goes through the middle anyway, and everything has to involve Messi. It is very one-dimensional, but at the same time incredibly effective. Last night showed how an organised team like Chelsea can stop them scoring by always blocking the passing channels - Barca probably hit more pop shots and long balls than in any game of theirs I've watched for years as a result (I remember one long ball, that's one more than normal). Barca's biggest strength is their defence though, they close men down and force opponents to make poor passes. Saying that, they were very poor at the goal.

Gordie Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 At the back we were brilliant, and Barca still broke us down on a few occasions, delighted with result, but fear the worst next Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
