Was a comedy match, really. I was sat up near the top (obviously, I'm not paying 60 euros), right next to the Valencia fans, heh. But they saw I was Barca till I die and put a mighty fence up to stop me destroying them.
Oh, and I was right above the Barca ultras, which was funny. They had a great time yelling at Aimar, who had a shocker, it must be said.
It was 2-2. Guily & Deco, and 2 rubbish goals from David Villa, who looked awful for the rest of the match.
Barca were playing a 4-3-3 with Guily,Eto'o,'Dinho up front, like they normally do these days. It was actually really funny to see the Valencia back four drift. They were petrified of Ronaldinho, meaning they all tried to mark him. Seriously, I've never seen anyone have as much space as Guily did. All Ronaldinho would do is do a little flick to get past the first man, and bang it out toeards Guily, who proceeded to muck up 47 out of his 48 chances, except when he slammed a great little half volley past Canizares at the end of the first half.
Still, they were scared of Ronaldinho all first half. Admittedly, he played amazingly. But he's lazy. Very lazy.
Second half, Valencia started with a Villa dive for a penalty which he put away and then celebrated his spectacular dive for ages. Then he charged down a Valdes clearance and it bounced off his back into the net. Seriously, like on Football Manager. I've never seen it happen in, y'know, real life.
Villa, of course, celebrated like he'd beaten 10 men and finished from 40 yards. I instinctively hated him, and wanted Aimar to do something. Which he didn't, and was replaced by the mighty Hugo Viana. Heheheh.
Oh yeah, and Deco got the draw when Canizares screwed up a 'Dinho cross into his path. Good game, really open. And the Nou Camp is awesome. Much better view of the pitch than Anfield or Old Trafford (only other two major stadiums I've been to).
Yep, that's all. Oh, and I saw the Birmingham-Liverpool match surrounded by Catalans wearing Luis Garcia shirts. Good thing he scored, really.
Shocker from Pepe "Best goalkeeper in Spain" Reina. Give me Carson. At least he still has good hair. I think bald keepers don't suceed in England. Except the All American hero Brad Friedel. Well done, Man Utd.
Keep it real.

I know, I can't believe I missed it. Darcy is the Neighbours hero. Whenever it gets boring, he's there to save the day with a well-placed mugging or evil evil scheme.
I love him like a brother, and I hope he tells Karl.

Yeah, well... shut up.
By the way, in Neighbours, Darcy is out his coma now.

I was talking about me, you giant peon.
That's rich coming from Mr 3 goals in 5 games.
I'd like to say I don't care, but it's like a knife through my heart. Sleepy is beating me (and you) as well. Damn her.
Ah well, at least I don't support a dull, lifeless team...

9th October, I'm off to uni. But I've got net in my room this time, and I'm not going on holiday again for a while so, yeah, I'm here to moan about Crouch, 4-5-1 and fat red-faced people for a while. You lucky critter.
How long are you back for this time, Stryke? Or have you gone again already?
Don't think so. There wasn't any booing when he was on the ball; well, any more than you'd expect from him being Valencia's most high-profile player. We were afraid he wasn't going to play, but I think they're still deciding what to do with his Diouf-antics.
Turned out he was as awful as I've ever seen him. Pity.
Oh, I forgot to mention we saw the Valencia teambus arrive after we'd looked around the museum earlier in the day. But they scurried away too fast for us to mob 'em. Ah, that Hugo Viana.

Ah, speaking of Aimar. Was there much backlash to his spitting incident against Deportivo?
