BARCELONA

I know the Champions league is still over a week away but I thought I would try get it off my chest before you become so bored with reading about it you glaze over it.

I don't care about Manchester United or there creepy red jackets some guys wear thinking they are part of the vibe, makes me want to puke. A shirt I can handle, sure sometimes when you want to play football. Get it. For me a random shirt from one of the African countries or even a Pirates shirt would be way better. Anyway I seem to be getting away from the topic here. Barcelona, now that's a cool shirt, not sure if those colours work on me but its such a vibe. The Catalan thing which most of us are completely oblivious too and then there is the Camp Nou or Nou Camp. Never figured that one out, probably Spanish hey.

Anyway from my earliest days of watching football when English teams were filled with fat, greasy poms who had been in the pub all night before the game. Harsh I know, it's more for effect really. So from my early days I can remember the great Barcelona teams carving it up, playing beautiful football the way most teams dream it should be played. I remember most of the players but naming them isn't going to help either of us. I'm not quiet sure where I am going  with this but I really hope they win on May 27 in Rome.  

I enjoy Sir Alex but he has won enough for now, I know his teams are so well though out and getting quality players to buy into his dream is alot harder than any of us can imagine. He is a Scotsman too which makes me think he is nearer genius than Sir Albert ( jokes. ) 

But could I handle MAN U or THE RED DEVILS and their smug bunch of twits and creeps who hardly know squat about football winning again. Not a f...k !!! Sorry, I can just see the Argus sms column, all the fans patting each other and " their team " on the back. Idiots.

So please Barca, for football around the World. Nobody likes a monopoly. Ucha cha. 

You may have read the story about how Dutch legend and ex Barca hero Johan Cruyf had a go at British football. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/may/18/johan-cruyff-barcelona-champions-league-final.

Bingo all my problems written into one easy article. Thanks Guardian. 

So there it is people, that's why we have to cheer for Barcelona even if its just a quiet fist pump under your desk at work when you realise you missed the game but hey Barca won.  

And so did football...
