Bit of a long shot but any spares?

I’m looking forward to this match, It should be a fantastic match up, the biggest club in English football going toe to toe with the second biggest team in Spain, tis ashame it’s not Real Zaragoza.

Real Sociedad fan here, because of our resident Spaniard - Sabre.

Also big fan of Sociedads traditions and values in football.

Thanks

We do care indeed for football values and are one of the most famous youth systems in Spain.

And if you want another good reason, the team that treated Aldo as a star the star he was, and gave him fame and respect in Spain. Emilio Butragueño, former Real Madrid player said in a post match comment, that playing against Aldo was a great honour. ANother red, John Toshack is also Real Sociedad fan and he comments our matches in the paper -even now he's in Wales- .

Other reds in my team have been Kvarme, which I liked but perhaps not good enough for Liverpool, and Westerveld, a good keeper.

Sabre, do you know where I can get a Sociedad top from?

Well lads, let's learn something about nowadays Spanish Football, which hasn't much to do with 10 years ago Spanish football and 20 years ago Spanish football.

How the teams start playing from goal kick? All the same but Barcelona.

Pick a game of the liga, whatever. Sevilla - Valencia, Real Sociedad - Real Madrid, whatever. What the teams do? long goal kick from the keeper, narrow the field and start playing making an asfixiating pressure. You can check this fact whenever you want. Best teams doing this are Valencia and Sevilla. Even fúcking Real Madrid is doing this nowadays.

Barcelona doesn't do this, they think they must do good football and that good football must be done right from the defence touching the ball. Barcelona always had a commitment to do a football people fancies. While this is nice, it's a weak point, because if you press them properly well up in the pitch they struggle. Men like Motta are not Alonso precisely, and for what's worth, Liverpool presses very well, better than most if not all Liga teams (and I have seen them all this season both in ANoeta and TV).

Barcelona is a great team. They can beat us if we don't play 110% and we shoud know this. But they can be beaten. Rijkaard is being unfairly criticised, and is overrotating precisely

, but make no mistake, they'll come with the best eleven against us. Rijkaard's main problem at the moment is that IMO is not holding the media pressure very well. The other day against Espanyol he punched with violence a glass of the little structure -I don't find the word- that protects the bench of the rain. That means something. Would you imagine Rafa doing that?

We can beat them even at their best of confidence if we do what we do best well: PRESSING. It's quite amazing how little we talk about what we do best. With the current lack of confidence of the Barcelona surrounding (el entorno) I'm being even more optimistic.

Sabre, the spy.

We don't mind any Barca fans coming on here for banter but pack the insults in you fucking prick and show a little respect. I'm warning you.

Just one more out of line comment..... :angry:

Sometimes people don't realize what they have until it's gone. For instance, we have some players that clubs wish they have.

But nobody within the club gives them as much recognition as they would had received if they were somewhere else.

For instance, you look at the likes of Aaron Lennon,Micah Richards, Gareth Bale. They're the flavors of the month and we have people talking about ''sign them up'', ''why isn't this club trying to sign the best'' etc...

What about Xabi Alonso? What about Daniel Agger? What about Momo Sissoko?

If those three had been playing somewhere else in the Premiership, I'm willing to bank everything I have that people would be making threads about them and begging Rafa to sign them.

Most of our fans don't recognize that we aren't as bad as a team that the media and neutrals make out. We're actually a good team just not good enough to win the league.

Spot on AB, I didn't mention it because it's boring, but AS wrote that Atletico has put Alonso as a main priority (Xabi Alonso himself laughed about the idea and said he didn't plan to move), Madrid says that they like Alonso a lot, and some journalist of BArcelona said he'd be what they need.

We should appreciate more what we have, from the keepers, to the strikers.

Exactly, not to mention the manager as well.
