I had a great respect for Barca in the past, especially in relation to the hatred for Franco's rich kids up the road who used their power in the media and bully boy tactics to get any player they wanted
Yes, those poor, humble, financially sound good guys at Barcelona. With one of the highest wage bills in the world, and borrowing as much as they like from Spanish banks with no penalties because they're Barcelona. Who spent £33m on a defender and never played him, and £60m on Ibra only to leave him on the bench and then spunk £40m on Villa.

I'm not saying they are saints, far from it...both Real and Barca are fucking bankrolled by the banks who are too shit scared to call in the debt.
But aww shucks, it's Barca. They have Unicef on their shirts for fucks sake. They play with a smile on their face, so I sort of liked em.
It's like finding out my uncle was shafting my gran. I feel dirty.
