Awesome. Flew out of Liverpool on Tuesday via Geneva, arriving in barca around tea time. Straight out for a few beers and paella and a reasonable early night after being up at 4am for our first flight. Out early on match day for breakfast, then sat at a restaurant on la rambla for beers and lunch. Good to see Andy Morrison walking past and soaking up the adulation of the fans chanting his name. He was loving it. Natalie pike, fanzine danny and Ricky Hatton also passing by. Onto the square to join in the fun with several thousand other blues. Brilliant atmosphere, beers flowing, songs being sung loud and proud and size 5 being leathered everywhere. Fun And games. Had to collect a ticket from viagogo office which we were late for despite having 5 hours before the game to do so. Shame really as we didn't even need the ticket as my mate managed to squeeze in the same turn style as us so we could all be together. Brilliant I thought, until the dickhead stewards were pushing and pulling our fans everywhere and generally abusing people. So, I ended up Losing all my mates and watching it with others. Thought city played really well, gave it our all and it could have been a very different score line given decent officials. We all know what happened at the match though. Met friends afterwards for more beers. The break was spoilt for us though, when one of my friends, after losing his scarf, thought he seen someone wearing it. (Quite unique). He politely asked him if he had found it. The fellow city fan, obviously had one too many, decided my mate 'was trying to pickpocket him', gave him loads of shit like 'do you know who I am' and 'you obviously don't know me from Manchester' and proceeded to knock my friends teeth out. He was left in a right mess. Complete fucktard spoiling the occasion for everyone.
