Boab 73 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Barcelona; Messi, Xavi, Iniesta 3 of my favourite players - and all home grown which i like!! i like the fact their star players are small guys but can just rip the piss out of anyone and completely dominate a match!! i dont like how real madrid are all about big signings right now, i hope they fail Home-grown? Messi was trained by Barca since 15 or 16, yes, but isn't Catalonian. make that 11 years old Fair enough, I also had growth hormone injections too. is that what gives you all your aggression? What aggression?! haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm not a fan of either to be honest although if I'd have to pick as far as football is concerned I'd have to say Real. As far as politics though I find Real's links to the Franco dictatorship disturbing and am a supporter of the Catalan cause. I actually think Catalonia should be allowed independence. I'd like that too but would they still be allowed to play in La Liga? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA craps on about not wanting teams to play in other countries leagues but Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham and Newport County play in England. Monaco plays in France, San Marino plays in Italy and Andorra plays in Spain. So I can't imagine that they would ban Barcelona from playing in La Liga if Catalonia became independent.

lancedeangers1 287 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Don't really care for either of them. In honesty though hearing Barcelona fans chanting 'Celtic Celtic ' has automatically made me dislike them. So I guess in revenge I'll say I prefer Real Madrid.

I'm not a particularly big fan of military coups Manti, but give me that over bomb throwing any day. Well catalan nationalists have never used terrorism to any extent. But the link between Franco and Real is undeniable, so for me supporting real madrid amounts to supporting a highly RC Fascist dictatorship - that's not for me. A plague on both their houses.

It's definitely a case of picking the best from a bad bunch and, unless I was pressed or the question was posed, I wouldn't say I have a big interest in either club. Still, had my tour of the Camp Nou and Barcelona's a wonderful city - and they play excellent football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 20,059 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Barca since I was a wee lad. While we were winning the 9 in a row, Barca were the best other team in the world. Stoitchkov, Koeman, Romario, Hagi, Ronaldo Absolutely detest Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain's one of the most Catholic countries in the world. Madrid are the royalist team and Barcelona the rebels To be honest i couldn't give a monkeys about either one of them. Outside of Rangers I like to see the team playing the best football winning so at the moment that would be Barca Couldn't have put it better myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
