Fernando Torres

[Daniel 7]

but on the whole he couldn't understand why it happened and called torres a "**** of a human bing"

we all know this of course, just thought i'd share it as was a unbiased few from a Barca/Spanish perspective

I think even England fans gave their verdict on that, They can't all have been Liverpool fans booing him at Wembley on Saturday

true

oh, also - interestingly, my dad said the barca fan/s have about as much interest in spanish side as we do with England.

Hence, they met up and were discussing going to watch the England vs Spain game in a bar, when my dad checked fixtures on his phone for kick off etc, they realised Barca B were playing at home so opted for that instead.

Dad loved it, apparently it was a good game - barca had a lad up front called rodrique or something who scored, he stood out from the first minute and was the best player on the pitch

Rodrigo Lozano?

[PTP]

?? don't know - my dad said it was something like rodrigo, rodriguez, rodricko - think he scored twice and was subbed off at 2-0 too a standing ovation after about 70 mins, than barca b started to sit back and got a bit panicky.

[PTP]

just checked on the barca website - Rodri

[Craig_H]

That's the same player

Hasn't that got to do with the fact that they see themselves more as Basques then Spanish?

Barcalona is Catalan mate.

[jono]

Barcalona is Catalan mate.

My error. Though am I correct in saying that they do tend to distance themselves from Spain the same way that Scousers distance themselves from England?

[Norbs]

Ah, that bloke that looks a tiny bit like Wenger again

just checked on the barca website - Rodri
