Lol, just watched the City - Chelsea friendly, and within the first few minutes I just knew its gonna be great.

Chelsea were in the lead 3-0, and in overtime, 3-4 to City. Amazing game, haha!

Lol I saw that too, I couldn't believe it.

this is how the statue of Colón was yesterday in Barcelona :

Even statues support Barcelona

I can't even imagine what is to be an Espanol fan in the city of Barcelona. That gotta be tough as hell.

Sort of similar to being a City fan in Manchester?

It's not tough. It's like being an atheist. You're surrounded by idiots but deep down know you're on the right side.

Cracking game, it was a good advert for Premier League football. I was slightly disappointed to throw away a 3 goal lead though lol. I can't complain, the game meant nothing and City deserved it.

Mountinho and Rodriguez are now Monaco players. Such a shame. I'm a big Mountinho fan and would have loved to see him play for Chelsea.

Monaco seems to also be lining up Falcao. This mass spending is going to be very interesting given FFP.

Benitez to Napoli, good riddance.

Lot's of stuff going on right now. Way too many journalists at the moment reporting that Neymar has signed for 5 years, and that Santos will announce it any moment this night (night for us in Europe). Even their website is down because of too much traffic.


Edit: according to BarcaStuff on Twitter:

Official: Santos announce that they have received two proposals for Neymar and that they will now discuss them with the player

Edit2:

BREAKING - Neymar and his father decided not to choose any offer now and will go back home to study Barça and Madrid's offers. [Globo]

Today is going to be a good day.

Nah it's always been way tougher for Espanol fans than the ones of City... I've always wondered how's that even possible to last.
Good simile though lol

[Innovation]

How can you dislike this guy?!

[Francesco]

Chelsea & City definitely need a lot more extra practice for next season so those kinda games are a must for both teams... lol

Neymar seems like a nice humble guy. He's stated several times how he admires messi so i doubt that will be a problem.

[SajN]

Please Neymar don't choose Real Madrid, none of us want you

Cant stress how right this is. Dont want him at all. Might backfire not wanting him, but atm he is overrated as fuck

It's not just that, honestly.

It's also his ego, I wanna see if he acts humble amongst praised players like Messi, Puyol, Pique and others. I think having 2 superstars in the same team is nog a really good idea, what if he steals the light from Messi? What if he gets treated as a third wheel?

I certainly don't want that to happen to us....

This is what I am worried about too. If he doesn't become a flop in Barca, I am afraid there might be some clashes between the superstars. We all remember what happened between Ibra and Messi

[Trimss]

Omg only 2 hours and so left. Can't waiiiit

[SajN]

I am at work, so I can't see


I hope Dortmund takes it

[Trimss]

Come on guys, this is the biggest game of the year! The most important one too. It's German football at their peak, and the two most deserving teams playing against each other.

The two teams who humiliated the two giants! It's a must-see.
