It's all very well splitting open dodgy Spanish defences but as shown the other night... "they don't like it up'em".

English football at it's best............Thou shalt not pass.
Let's see what the second round produces....I fancy Barca.
Before anyone starts flashing red cards because I dont shout for an English Team, in this case Chelsea, I live in Spain and the only time that I would support an English team playing Barca that would be Blackburn Rovers, who, in their last meeting beat Barca 3 - 1.

Wouldn't give you a hard time for backing the Catalans Royboy, there's enough of the top 4 English clubs ruining domestic football nevermind Europe

I used to watch Barca games regularly and when the current team are in attack they remind me of the strength they had about ten years ago - with Luis Enrique, Kluivert, Rivaldo, Giovanni, etc. However with Puyol playing very poorly of late they're weak at the back. Rafael Marquez isn't the player he used to be, though Pique is promising. They haven't got a Frank De Boer or a Phil Cocu to do the gritty work.

They're not really the best in Europe, but I'd put money on this season's competition saying otherwise.

i would say they are a damn good footballing side no question, but will go further than shaker, they are a bunch of tarts, who whinged and whined everytime there was a tackle the other night, says me who dislikes chelsea.

they done Madrid 2-6 last night..now does that say they are the best in Europe ..or does it say the Spanish league is not as good as the Prem?... i say the Prem is the best league in Europe and having 3 English teams in the semis of the champions league for the last 2 years makes it clear.

Just wonder if they'll bring the sniper with them to the Bridge Wednesday, because last week every time they were tackle they went down like they'd been shot by a sniper

I have watched then for years also remeber those players......great.
Funny you should mention Puyol and Pique....They both scored last night, Rafa Marquez is out for the season.

Not bad quite an achievement must be all the group games against nobodies.
