Re: Aguero: I could never join Real
Totally agree with City being more akin to the anti-establishment leanings of Barca.
Espanyol are the team of the right politically (not necessarily far right) whereas Barcelona were flag bearers against the Fascist Franco. Barca were "underdogs" of sorts, and still are when compared with Real Madrid who are well known for getting refereeing decisions....sound familiar?
So If I were a Madrileno I'd support Atleticio, if I were a Barcelonista I'd support Barca definitely, and if I were born in West London I'd probably be QPR (never Chewwsey), but because my Mum and Dad moved to Glossop when I was a kid and he took me to both Manchester teams, one in the Blue grabbed me (great fans clinched it for me, the kit, and loved Paul Power's quality and enthusiasm) and I already hated the other...so I am a City fan!
If I were a Scouser...no let's not go there! Only kidding, Scousers!
Dubai Blue said:It's not quite as simple as that in Catalonia. Espanyol aren't just the plucky little underdogs playing second fiddle to their much more illustrious neighbours. It can't be compared to City and United in any shape or form. In fact I'd associate City much more with the anti-establishment leanings of Barcelona than with Espanyol.Dave Ewing's Back 'eader said:If I were a Madrileno I'd support Atletico; if I were a Barcelonista I'd support Espanyol.
