I remember when I was a kid and it was even showed in the Spanish news when a football player got MBE. The implications of service to the game and your country were big. "Ooooooooooooooooh, Peter Beardsley is MBE damn he must be great". Now they give them out like cheap candy, imho. "Ooooooooooooooo...

Re: Barcelona v Athletico (Eidur)

At the start of the game, there was a minutes 'silence'. Violins were played throughout, and the silence was interupted by the 20 away fans doing nazi salutes and shouting seig hail. So, done the San Siro, and the Nou, where next? Well, the Frente Atlético (Atlético hooligans) are well known fascis...

Actually, the tie is very much open to me. Of course, if we are in form coming Feb honestly I believe we will beat Liverpool, but we still haven't hit gear this season so far and Benitez has always beat us (although we were much weaker back then) Also, Messi and Eto'o have chances of being back for ...

I quite like to have got Liverpool. One of the few "big" european teams that I've never seen play at Camp Nou.

Real - Bayern also a cracking one due to their past grievances. Sadly I fancy the white scum to go through with ease.

I guess we could add Kanu or is this season more like his swan song?

Larsson also got an ACL while at Barça, and came out in force.

Thiago Motta has had more career-threatening injuries than Owen and Dyer combined, and he's still our first-choice DMC. He's absolute crap, though.

RCD Espanyol's new hymn that they instated a few years ago to appear "more Catalan" and that absolutely *none* of their fans ever sings, preferring the old Spanish one (something they are absolutely free to do, being the whole rebranding of the team what I find ridiculous). "Glory of Catalonia", my ...

Basically with a Provident any there are no share owners so you are not making a profit for them, the company/club is owned by the members, and any profits made by the company are - and must or you have to pay members back - be re-invested into the club to give a better service to the customers.

No, it's not that. What I mean is that FC Barcelona isn't a company. It isn't owned by anybody, hence it can't be bought. It's an association.

Makes me glad Barça isn't a PLC and can't be taken over.

I guess it's just a matter of time that this foreign takeover-mania travels south of the Bay of Biscay, though.

It has been reported here that this sheik guy has been accused of slave trade, does it have some basis or is it an "Abramovic is linked to the Russian mafia!!!111111" kinda thing?
