Topic: Barcelona 2001

[RTK]

With just over a week to go until Barcelona away there seems no better opportunity to reminisce about our previous visits to the Nou Camp.

We've just published one such (hilarious) story on the RTK site.

[Evo1975]

cracking read that 

[BHB]

Wacky Races 

[Nicoliverpool]

Class read. Evo published one of his on OTK which is worth a read too.

[paulrazor]

2001 ah yeah

watched at home

shit meself every time rivaldo got the ball

can remember eating me dinner watching it and heard a crunch

mam had smashed something cooking, had just chewed on glass

as if i hadnt enough to worry about.

shit game cos we parked the team bus infront of our goal but if we had have taken the game to them it might have been different. sometimes you have to play boring. still cant believe that was reina in goal for them

[Rafa In Istanbul]

Absolutely quality read that mate, laughed throughout!!

[Dick Winters]

Excellent read - I don't think my nerves could have stood up to the stresses of that trip and the match too. 

Fortunately, my trip to Barca was much less stressful!!

[bigbear]

Very funny and a great read.

I think that trip was the one when we all had the sombreros on and it was freezing. 4 of us sat in the posh bit of the away section with the big hats and unable to stand up.

Then a night at one of the local porn bars to watch "mini-me" (a 3 ft dwarf) shag about 10 women.

Yes, another cultural outing which I'm looking forward to repeating next week.

[BHB]

Best trips and funniest ones always the most chaotic!

Up the Eiffel Tower having a bevy and lost track of time after Auxerre, ended up missing the flight home from Paris Bouvelle (spelling) and kipping 10 to a room fit for 2 and getting the Eurostar home the next day. This was the lads I was with, I got off just before and made it to the airport! 2 of us on the flight, 10 empty seats 

The same 10 also locked themselves out of their hotel in Auxerre and ended up sleeping in a bus stop using cardboard boxes as windbreakers! 10 stinking scousers in an Auxerre bus stop with no ale and no food. Harry Enfield would have had a field day that night.

What a shithole that Auxerre was.

A Barcelona legend!

[bellinter]

brilliant read that! Loved it!!

[bigbear]

A Barcelona legend!

He was hysterical. I remember him standing on stools to sh+g these tall birds as he couldn't reach, it was like Ken Dodd x-rated.

By that time of night you're just nackered and pissed anyway so there's not a great deal else to be done. Although I do recall bumping into some trouble with the locals who had robbed some reds' passport and having to persuade them (aggressively) to hand it back as they demanded cash.

That was the trip when we sat down and wrote the "Stevie G song" which was getting sung in afew of the bars. Written on the Ramblas with my brother. "You're just too good to be true" etc although apparently all and sundry have since claimed authenticity !

Happy days indeed.

[mark_lfc_forever]

good read that

[DannyD]

Anyone remember the live chicken with the little red scarf running around the square just of the Ramblas. The Gardie Civil cops didn't know wether to laugh or arrest the chicken for public disorder.

[TheKid.]

Pretty sure the chicken in the square was the year after wasn't it?

[DannyD]

Pretty sure the chicken in the square was the year after wasn't it?

 

Was that the 0-0 if it was it was that year ....

[Ashfordian]

Laughed a fair few times at that, nice one.

Not a bad read either is this one:

[TheKid.]

Both were nil nil. The semi, then the group game. Chicken was at the group game

[Real MadRed]

Hopefully with the help of our Spanish contingent we can overcome Barca again too.  As long as they keep focussed given their new acting careers.
Did anyone else see Xabi and Luis in the woods on Primeval the other night?
