Catalan classic. It could be a difficult match.

[impeh]

should be a good one, hope iniesta plays a bit & gets a decent reception.

We should have too much for them though, 1-3 win.

[Bilal Khan]

cant afford to drop any more points

[Catalonian Devil]

Glad we had the Copa match to warm up our engines.

I expect a relatively comfortable night for the boys.

0-3.

Asspanyol always save their best for us.

We should beat them though if we are really up for it. Hope Iniesta plays.

[JDaniels]

Sanchez,Messi and Iniesta come back.

[FCBarca]

I do wonder if the Don will indeed start, doesn't seem to be a need to rush him into it...He looked his usual imperious self in that training session but you could see there were instructions to not challenge the player as well...I think even Pep alluded to not rushing him into 90 min....Perhaps he comes on as a 2nd half sub?

Messiiiii timers! Must had to is goal tally! 31 goals is awful

[Anidubey]

Were in good form, we should beat them..

3 important points .. Alexis and Messi will lead the team with much greatness .. I reckon the best 11 we have .. VV - Alves - Masch (Puyol) - Pique - Abidal - Sergio B. - Xavi - Iniesta - Cesc - Messi - Alexis ..

Asspanyol will play the match of the season for them .. but with both team's form .. it would be no problem ..

What Iniesta did was sure something the fans will never forget on their side .. remembering a dead friend in your most magical moment at the eyes of the whole world is just the best gesture you can ever see .. the other good thing that the fans would never boo our players now

Well. They do. They just don't boo the Don anymore.

I'm shitting my pants actually. Away game. Perhaps no Iniesta. Could be tricky. If we start our first away game of the season with a manita though, I'm sure we'll win the treble this year.

sure it's a tough venue to be at .. but Iniesta is ready since he trained with the group since Monday .. and maybe he'll get the clearance tomorrow or on saturday .. Barca should have no problem beating them .. the current form is our best so far this season .. the full team (just without Villa and Afellay) is ready ..

We scored a manita last year, they arent better than last year, but we are. Im confident we will get the 3 points.
