Away from the cares and woes, the highs and lows of following the Addicks .. I am REALLY looking forward to this one.
It's a shame that Aguero will not be fit. He's the closest approximation to Messi that we have playing in this country.
Tomorrow's game at the Emirates will be tasty as well .. Bayern Munich .. heirs to the Barca crown ?

It's nights like these when I am a teeny weeny bit envious of the supporters of a 'mega' club .. but there y'go .. we are where we are ..

    Was just going to start this.

    Still can't get my head around that club. Seems only a couple of years ago we were regularly going to Maine Rd.

    How do you see it going tonight ?

    My mistake! Thought they were playing Barnsley for some reason.

    Man City .. a whole topic on its own .. I am convinced that the cheap acquisition of their new stadium (ex Commonwealth Games venue, heavily subsidised by Man City Council) was the catalyst for the start of their purchase history and subsequent success .. a bit like West Ham's move to palatial premises .. BUT .. I digress

    Getting rid of Nicky Weaver was the catalyst and a curse for those who signed him.

    Think I saw today is 14 years to this day that Man City were playing Macclesfield in L2. Now they've got Barca.

    14? That can't be true, 99/00 season they were at the top of Div 1 with us.

    Thank goodness. Nearly caused me a crisis, I would have been torn on whether to watch Barca v City or The Massives v Barnsley.

    Barca 3-1. Demichelis at Centre Half is a liability.

    It is always interesting - Barcelona keep possession for fun, but City have quality forwards and they can exploit Barca's weaknesses. Quite a difficult one to call for me.

    If there was ever 10 mins of football that highlights the different style between Prem and La Liga football then this is it.

    Barca having all the possession compared to City's direct more rushed approach.

    How many times will they mention possession? Lets ignore they've had 0 shots and focus on the passing...

    Barcelona's defense hasn't improved.
