[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

A genuinely friendly welcome though boys. We are not from Trafford remember !... Let them know we are proper supporters not a load of black coated dick heads from outside of town

yeah but what if we go all nice like and they try and knock fuck out of us ? fuck that im taking no chances im going in like a windmill

If they haven't brought any of the Spanish police with them, they'll be lambs!

 

[Paulpowersleftfoot]

Their 'ultras', the Boixos Nois, I wonder if they turn up? They have Capo's, don't you know.

Oh fucking hell.

This place is going to get full of kids going "Why can't we all be ultras and have a drummer" for the next week.

That's all we need
Some ringo Starr wannabe with his strides halfway down his arse
We had enough with the littering from the 2nd tier on Saturday,now this
Twats,the lot of them

Have they sold out? Spanish fans are notoriously bad travellers.

just a heads-up here lads & lasses...

i was lucky enough to live in barcelona for a year and i pretty quickly realised that the majority of them do not consider themselves to be spanish.
barcelona is in catalonia & they are incredibly passionate about independence form spain,
so much so that they have regular marches through the city.

you will find they are very fluent in english so there's no problem communicating at all
and although they understand spanish they would rather you don't speak it to them.
(a few of them actually find it insulting and ignorant)

on first hearing, catalan sounds like a mix between spanish and french but it is a separate language of its own developed from latin 1000yrs ago

it was actually made illegal to speak or write in 1940 by the fascist dictatorship in power in spain.
it is now the official language - taught in school - even the newspapers use it.

so if we intend to greet them nicely - it's best not to call them spanish or speak to them in a language that represents everything they reject.

there are some words and phrases on here if you are interested
