This is my translation so not the best but this is in today's Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan sports daily, written by a columinist called The Panzer.

 

Many Barca fans would have followed what happened in the Liverpool-Manchester United game yesterday, despite the time it was on. We all know that they play games in the middle of the day because by then they've already eaten and more importantly had a few drinks. It's practically time by then for an afternoon snack. But back to what we were talking about: those who watched the game are sure to be a little more hopeful. Not because Liverpool did terribly, that wasn't the case, but because are players are better.

 

Let's make a general comparison, this time seriously, after yesterday's little joke:

 

Reina-Valdes. They were together at Barca and though they both dreamed of success the club had to choose one. Barca made the right choice.

 

Central defenders: Carragher is very good, but he'd love to have the character of Puyol, the positional sense of Thuram, the nerve of Marquez, the personality of Oleguer or the touch of Edmilson.

 

Full backs: Barca have a world champion playing for them. Liverpool's are Norwegian and Irish internationals. Sometime an Arbeloa might play, a player who wasn't wanted by Madrid. The fact he's a Madridista should only be added motivation anyway.

 

Xabi Alonso - Xavi - Iniesta: The Panzer sincerely hopes that Alonso signs for Barca... so he can be back up for our two who are better than him.

 

Deco - Gerrard: with all respect, there's only one Deco. Luckily he plays for Barca.

 

Eto - Crouch: Comparing these two is just a joke.

 

Messi - Bellamy: The Welshman would be better if he learnt everything Leo could teach him.

 

Ronaldinho: They can compare him with whoever they like, He's the best.

 

Let's hope we make the idiot eat his words.

Please e-mail that to someone at the club so they can pin it on the wall of the dressing room.

Utter nonsense.

I don't know, imagine how good JC would be if he only showed a little nerve, character and personality.

Deco better than Gerrard - classic.

 

Also I'm sure a few teams in the Championship would like 'the personality of Oleguer' but I'm f*cked if we or anyone in the top division does, he really is crap.

 

They could have let in five against Sevilla who played most of the game a man down - now isn't really the time for this kind of arrogance from Barca, but long may it continue. I'd be far more worried if they were trying to get themselves wound up and giving it the 'backs to the wall' stuff than looking down their noses at us.

There's a lot to admire about Barcelona but there's no doubt that they can be quite an arrogant bunch with a puffed up sense of their own importance.

On paper they may well have better players than us in a few positions (thought not as many as they think). Fortunately football isn't played on paper.

Brilliant argument.

 

So if we had Slyvain Wiltord playing for us and they had the "Milan-vintage" Shevchenko playing for them, they'd only have a Ukrainian international whereas we would have a World Champion, so we're better.

If only we still had Bernard Diomede playing for us, we'd be alright on Tuesday...

as evidenced by that quite stunning backpedal and catch for bellamy's goal.

I knew we let Diomede go too soon.

 

Houllier and Parry out. Sign World Champions :bleh:

 

Ayline - I should read all posts before adding a reply :unsure::P
