There is actually this campaign in England to protest the high ticket prices, which is a start. They plan to protest at the FA Headquarters on fixture release day. Don't know how much good it will do (probably none), one can only hope though. I'm moving to the UK next year, naturally I think...

He says "il primo giocatore che prendevo era Samuel Eto'o". "Prendere" can mean "to buy", so I think he would buy Eto'o & put him back on his Barca. It also would not make sense that he would have Eto'o and Nesta did not, if they were both playing as Barca while Eto'o was still there :p Anyway...

Since you brought up Anfield - I've always thought Liverpool fans to be some of the most vocal supporters in England. The Kop does whatever they can do while still within the restrictions. You can't say that much about Chelsea fans etc. However, what I found odd - I attended a Liverpool match...

Yeah, I touched on this in my post above. Not just the racism, but the violence also. One of my best friends in Barcelona, her father is in the Boixos Nois & is banned from the stadium. Quite rightly I might add, he was involved in both the pig's head incident & the death threats to Laporta, so...

What bothers me about the crowd at Barca matches (I've not been to the Camp Nou yet, so this is based on observation on tv/photos, and from friends who go regularly) is that it seems like the club has to tell the crowd how to show support, so it seems forced. The tifo designs/coreo you see at...

That's your own damn fault then, that's why it's called gambling. And I doubt that's the reasoning behind the majority of the booing, if it was then those fans are even more ridiculous than I thought.

I never understand booing your own player anyway no matter how bad they played, it doesn't make the situation better. If anything hearing that the fans have no faith in him would have an even more negative effect, unless he has a really thick skin and can use it to fire himself up and prove...

I don't really think any gk is worth 40m ( then again a few years ago I didn't think any defender was worth 40m either, but now I would gladly pay that much for Thiago Silva or similar). But Handanovic is probably one of the best GKs in the world right now, if he wasn't playing for Udinese/Inter...

welcome :)

If reports are to be believed, Inter are now also interested in Bartra, in addition to Alexis & Montoya. There were representatives at the match today & supposedly tomorrow they will meet with Barca to discuss the possibilities.

We'll be back next season. Visca :)

Yeah, he says at Milan his home was invaded by Ambrosini and Van Bommel :lol: I love how he says things, bit humorous.

Welcome :)

Welcome :)

He plays FIFA with Nesta, they were playing with each other & discussed leaving Milan. Excerpt which I've roughly translated: I immediately compared with Alessandro Nesta, friend & brother, teammate, and always roommate. Between the first & second half of one of our many matches on the...

Not that I'm aware of. You guys will have to make do with my far from perfect translations :p

"Penso quindi gioco" which translates to "I think therefore I play".

Yeah, he wrote about that in his book (which I received this morning). I'll expand on it when I get to that part. He also came close to joining Madrid in 2006 I think.

There was already a Zanetti thread (I had moved it to the legends section a while back when no one was looking :p), so I merged them. Anyway, it's estimated he'll be out for 6 months but he's very optimistic he'll be able to play again, hope that turns out to be true. It's one of his first...

Even if that's the case, he's not helping himself and only making it worse. If you get booed it's not really wise to go and instigate more.
