On the 28th of April, 2010, in the second leg of the semi-final of last season’s Champions League, Inter Milan played Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Taking a 3-1 lead into the game, the Italian side defended impeccably throughout the match until, in the 84th minute, Gerard Piqué scored to put Barcelona within one goal […]
After three days in Barcelona, three days in Girona and a five hour train trip south, I am writing the preview to tomorrow’s game with the sound of firecrackers ringing in my ears in Valencia. I had been all but assured tickets to the Nou Camp for Tuesday’s game but unfortunately things changed, so instead […]

Daryl is also a performing singer, musician and songwriter who I encourage you to follow on Twitter. The draw for round two of the Champions League seems like a lifetime ago. […]
Barcelona might be just around the corner (and if you’re willing to spend a few quid, you can still get tickets to that game via TixDaq) but before then we have a vital game against the conquerors of Manchester United, Wolves. Three points at home against a team sitting on the bottom of the table […]
Just opening a thread for comments on Arsenal drawing Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League. We’ll play at home first before traveling to the Nou Camp for the second leg, just like last year. Thoughts? Feelings? Please keep swearing and thoughtless complaining to a minimum: let’s just talk about our chances in […]
