Flying into Barcelona BCN? We got the train into Catalunya in the centre (not long iirc, about 30 mins) and its only a few minutes from there to the ground. You could bus, metro it or jump a cab - there are plenty around. I wasn't overly impressed with the ground, but then again i suppose thats not what you are going for.

Here is the link for a good transport map too http://www.fgc.es/eng/planol.asp

Hmmmm, would they really let one of their better players leave for nothing over 20k?

As part of Adam’s contract he signed 15 months ago from Rangers, every season the Seasiders stayed in the Championship, he would received the survival payment.

Blackpool have shocked Adam by saying that as the team were promoted last season he will not collect the sum and the clause stipulated that it would only be in effect if the team stayed in the Championship.
With a bit of luck he'll win and get to leave for free and come back to Rangers. :scratch:

Cheers. It's awkward La Liga games are so late.

Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs is to be offered £200,000 a week to finish his career in Dubai. United midfielder Paul Scholes and defender Gary Neville can also expect lucrative deals from Middle East clubs. Top outfits in the UAE League, including Al Ahli, have already discussed signing the trio next summer.

Somehow I don't really see them going elsewhere, when they leave Utd. At their age, I think that they will just retire.

Will your club wear poppies with pride?

Nice quote From Harry and good support from most clubs, but why on earth United don't want to honour the memory of those that lost their lives, God only knows. Maybe they can't afford the badges. It's not like the team is filled with Germans and Itallians is it?

The Italians were on our side in WWI ;)

United V Spurs today, it should be a good game as usual between these two. It wouldn't surprise me if United got turned over today.

Prediction: United 1 Spurs 2

Only after the beginning of Sept 1943 in ww2 though ;)

There's no reason as to why Germans or Italians should commemorate their war dead.. They were all people just for most parts on the wrong side..

I'd rather though if a club didn't want to display the poppy that they give the costs of the shirt design to the poppy appeal ;)

You must be joking. Even when you give us a 2 goal headstart we still lose. And we're on our 4th and 5th choice centre-back pairing and playing away.

Utd 4 - 0 Spurs. If we are lucky, then 3 - 1 with VDV to score first.

I think it should not matter if the clubs wear the Poppy or not. They never used too and the recent trend seems to be a PR exercise. The players don't choose to wear them as a matter of personal choice and turning it into an image issue cheapens it IMO. Last year United didn't wear them, they did however donate money and allow collections around the ground yet this didn't matter to the press who made the wearing of the Poppy the absolute decider of respect or disrespect.

Exactly and that's why it's necessary. Footballers have so much influence on young people and these are the kind of people that tend to lack respect to the fallen especially WW1 and WW2.

The other side of PR here is important. Honouring the dead from 90 years ago but the RBL need money now to help those suffering from WW2 and more recent conflicts

I think asking for respect for a cause is just fine. Demanding respect ... well, ok, depending on the cause (fine in this case), but demanding respect and then prescribing how that respect is to be shown is a step too far.

I am no fan of anything that goes on inside Old Trafford (except for the home team getting thrashed, of course), however they should have the right to conduct their affairs the way they see fit without being demonized for not doing things exactly the way someone else says they should.

Or even a 3 goal lead at your place ;)

All I said was "It wouldn't surprise me" but I will stick with my prediction :)

Anyway, you still need to even things out. Do you remember this......
