I will forever remember a Villa v Barça tie some time in the 80s where the Barça players just completely lost the plot and started kicking everyone. I didn’t like Barça from that moment on. I’m not sure when it changed but I suspect it was with the advent of the Premier League and the influx of money. Might have been the Champions League? I grew up watching football from about 94 onwards (in a serious way anyway) and I've always rooted against all other English teams in Europe. Can remember genuinely punching the air with delight when Iniesta got that late goal against Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just seen the Atalanta goals. Kelleher has to do better on both the first and the third. Levels below Alisson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that match, it was the 1982 European Super Cup (which we won, those were the days) final, the home leg. Gordon Cowans scored a penalty and one of the Barca players literally followed up on him and kicked him in the air and into the net. Genuinely the sort of thing that these days would get you a massive ban and probably a criminal investigation. It's on youtube, worth a look just to see how fucking insane it is. People get all starry eyed about tikky takky football purist Barcelona but forget they were fucking animals for decades. re the original point, I used to support all English sides in Europe too. Tony Parks in that 1984 (?) UEFA Cup final for Spurs, Forest in their European Cup finals, I always wanted the English team to win. It's totally the opposite now though - except, topically, for right now with this 5th place / coefficient thing going on which has forced me to want horrible things to happen.

He's going to get a move to play as a number 1. He also made a couple of outstanding stops due to how quick he was off his line. Filled in really well as their number 2. Especially when you consider he’s coming in in place of possibly the best keeper in world football. The drop off hasn’t been too bad. Compare and contrast with what we’ve had.
