and in therms of trophies, we have more history than liverpool, don't worry.

i think you WILL dominate the game at the nou camp - it's only natural - you're a good side, you're the home side etc etc. but i don't think you'll be able to take the p*ss like you did at anfield a few years back though. i think if we can keep the scoreline tight in spain (maybe 1-0 or 2-1) then we would have a VERY good chance of doing you over at anfield where the atmosphere will be ROCKING, not like the nou camp where you've got a sh*t ground with no fans

Which is why i'm happier to play the 1st leg 1st. If we can dominate you and get a decent lead, we can hold it out at Anfield i reckon.

Will you be going over to the Camp Nou? Should be a 98,000 sell out for sure.

i have a friend on the case who is trying to get me a ticket but i'm not holding out much hope, maybe she'll be able to get me a ticket for the anfield leg (i hope!!)

both games will have a cracking atmosphere though, guaranteed

[scouser 'til I die]

don't talk about history mate, please don't ever compare Barcelona's history with Liverpool's, unless you want to be ripped to

In a way we have a history not even Liverpool can even comprehend.

What are you talking about man?

Liverpool 5 European Cups
Barca - 1 European Cup

We have 2 European Cups btw.

I was talking about the repression of Catalunya and the effect it had on Barca as a club. If you want, go read up on Barca history.

History is more than just football on the pitch.

explain what you mean off the pitch?

[Larsson]

wtf is scouser ?

[scouser 'til I die]

go on, say all the trophies you have won then.

and well, the club have a lot more honours in basketball, hoquey, handball, if you want to know.

As a general summary (the full history is too great to tell). Barcelona have always been looked down upon by the powers that be. Reial Madrid have always been Spain's team, whereas Barca were seen as the enemy. In it's history Barca has seen it's players threatened to lose games, had one of it's Presidents executed and had one of the best players ever to play in Spain stolen from them even though he'd signed a contract. He was told he had to play for Reial Madrid, as they too supposedly had a contract for him.

Catalunya also saw it's people repressed under General Franco. They weren't allowed to fly their flags or even speak their own language. Supporting Barca was a way of life and to let Spain know they were proud Catalans.

You talk of history of winning trophies, to Barca that is just the tip of the iceberg.

The main trophies are:

Liverpool

league titles = 18
european cups = 5
uefa cups = 3
fa cup = 7
league cup = 7

Barca

where i grew up it was only schoolgirls who played netball and hockey. we're a football club from a footballing city, we don't do games for girl-guides

Woollyback, it is just another reason why we have the motto: mes que un club.

I hope you don't imply the rest of Spain was just enjoying a dictator, because we all did suffer him, not just them. We all have a history. The very name of the Kop is inspired in a war no member of this forum has lived. We could be talking about history for ages. The point we're making is simple, we are all free to talk about other teams in our local forums, but if you are to visit somebody else's home, the proper respect must be shown, for starters.

You're doing so, other visitor certainly are not.

Sorry Sabre, i didn't intend to imply that other regions of Spain didn't suffer by his hands. I was only mentioning Catalunya as it was relevant to Barca.

I know the feelings the Basque people have towards Madrid.

I fully respect Liverpool and it's great history, not trying to argue that Barca's is better or worse, just different.
