Have a great trip bro, have fun and enjoy life you only live once...
Oh nice plans there pal!
Its such a beautiful city. all the Gaudi work everywhere. Amazing place. So bloody cultured. Like Xavi, in a city!
Are you there long? We do the Antibes/Barca option every summer for a weeks break. Always so much to do. Just walk around the place. breathe it in!
Nou Camp is very very special and you can get some dirt cheap tickets and also some decent ones which do go up a bit in price but well worth it. Mate, when you see Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta with the ball. your mind will fucking explode. I've never, ever ever ever seen anyone who can move like Messi. Xavi is on another level, just gets better with age ala Pirlo.
Only better CM in recent times in Zidane!.
Sorry for turning this into a footy message. But if you get the chance, go to Germany for Bundesliga, super cheap prices and the BEST standard of football (soccer) throughout the league anywhere in Europe.
You can go and see Bayern, or Dortmund for £18!!
Enjoy your trip!
i got a quarter of hash from him for 50euros. lotsa hash near the beach too.
Dude, anything reguarding futbol is welcome in any discussion Im involved with man! And Messi is definately going to be a highlight. I remember watching the game under Rykard when Messi set foot onto the pitch for the very first time. I sat there and said to myself, this is the next Maradonna or Pele. And he is just fucking amazing to watch. And thats just messi, not even talking about Xavi and Iniesta and fabregas and niemar and sanchez and shit..might as well mention the whole team they are all so amazing.
I got 2 VIP seats in the Platinum Salsa Roma, they cost a pretty penny.More than my airline ticket to get to Spain...LOL This is my first trip in more than a decade and I'm going first class all the way. Ill be going to the Osasuna game, but the very next weekend is the Classico, and Ill be in Barcelona for the Classico!!!! Can't wait to go to a bar and sit with all the Barca fans and watch the Classico in Barcelona. It is going to be fucking amazing.
And on top of that, to go to a city that has so much culture and beautiful cathedrals and all the things to see and do, Im going crazy waiting to leave. Thanks for the input man and I love talking futbol too. Pretty much on Saturdays, sundays and wednesdays and thursdays, Im glued to the TV watching league and Champion League games. Well can't wait to breath in a whole new experience.
Thanks again man for the input, your just making me even more excited.

I'll be watching barca on the box tonight, hoping they get smashed but I've prob more chance of finding your headband cut in the woods while walking the dog than I have of getting that result.
Anyway here's hoping .... COY Gooners ;)
Get off the Thursday games! No one wants to be in the Channel 5 Cup (Europa League). Start watching the PL more man, such an exciting and most watched league.
Yeah I saw Barca play a couple of years ago. When they had Pep at the helm. I have never seen anything like it. Such dominance with style and class. They implemented this chase for 7 seconds when you lose the ball. It was scintilating watching Xavi spot the gap that no one else could see, Ariel vision.
Messi is just ridiculous when in full flow. Hopefully over this sickness on the pitch thing he has going right now. Even if he doesnt play, Neymar and Iniesta will blow your mind! Im an Arsenal fan so seen Cesc play a few times before he went home.
The atmosphere for the classico is like nothing else too. You are going at just the right time. Barca NEED to win, Real, with Ronaldo (not fat Ronaldo) scoring for fun and Bale (who I seen play from Wales U15's upwards) is the best left sided winger I've ever seen. What a game it'll be.
Also Barca in spring is so so beautiful man, blue skies, warm med breeze working its way up, some fresh fruit in the morning, go for a wander and have an amazing wandering doob.
So fucking jealous mate!
gonna be a blast man have fun. this is one of the most sought after soccer/futbal rookie cards in the world. we sold one for 4k before we knew just how rare it was, theres only 5 graded this high. hope your team wins it all this year loompaView attachment 387062
Yea, your right man, I guess I should have said tuesdays and wednesdays...lol Though there are some good games in the Europa league, it is kindof cool to see how the leagues match up in the lower tier just below the top 3 or 4. I feel like a geek cause I watch so much ball.....lol
Yup, can't fault you for being a Gooner! Now if your were a blues fan, Id have to make a few snide remarks...LOL But I love Arsenals pure approach to futbol. I hate my teams losing, but I'd rather watch pure clean futbol anyday of the week over thug-ball and long-ball even if that means my team loses.
I've never really cared for Ronaldo even when he was at ManuU, but I can appreciate his skills. Bale is becoming more and more impressive each year. I just wish he didnt go to Real Madrid, then I could actually root for him, but even tho Im in the states, I am a die hard FCB fan and have been ever since they started airing world futbol here in the states. You guys are lucky over there, cause you get to watch and see so many games, it does suck being a futbol fan and living in the states.
You guys are getting me so pumped up....Thanks for all the comments and advice and suggestions. This is awesome.
Dam Loompa it sounds like you had a blast man, lmao You sound like me punching wholes in shit, while im on war path. im glad you had fun im even more glad you back home safe & sound. def sounds like a epic adventure.The Update you all been waiting for..... Barcelona is the sickest place Ive ever been.We were non-stop sight seeing/partying the whole time. We wouldnt get homw till the sun was coming up and then sleep till noon and right back out on the streets. It was no relaxing vacation, I needed a vacation after this one cause it was pure craziness the whole time.
The Familia Sagrada is the most amazing thing Ive ever seen in my life. Im not a church going man, but who cares, the Segrada was awe inspiring.
And yes, thanks for all the pick pocket warnings, I did my best to keep my shit secure, but one night we were walking out of a bar at 3 am and two street prostitues were on us quick, quicker than I was thinking, took me 2 seconds to realize it and then push her out of my way. But 2 seconds was all it took for her to open a zipper pocket and lift my phone. In my phone I had a pick of my atm card and they racked up 4k from my checking account and they racked up 2k on phone chardges that Im now fighting over. This thieves are straight up pro's......even if you think your ready....your not. They are proffessionals and very good. So it turned out to be an expensive learning lesson, but that doesnt change the fact that Barcelona rules and it was the best vacation Ive ever had. I even have a pic of the wall I punched a whole in when I realized it and I wanted to do some serious harm, but my friend chiled me out , but I was on the warpath..lol
The food is awesome and I love how every meal is served with vino, mater of fact now that Im home, All I have been drinking is Sangria spanish style. I fell in love with Barcelona, Ill be going back the rest of my life. So anyone want to do a mass meetup in Barcelona, that would be killer.
While we were ther, just by blind luck and chance, we arrived on thursday and the Spanibis Cup was friday, saturday and sunday. I of course was wearing Loompa hat and shirt and I was busy all day talking to folks. I met a sweet crew out there that do alot of seed work in Europe and they invited us to share their booth for the next cup. So I am confident that we will be at the next Spanabis Cup.
The Barcelona vs Ososuna game was epic. I had 700 euro tickets a piece and we had our own gate to enter and were escorted up a special elevator that opens up to a huge cocktail lounge with waiters serving ordeurves and champaign and beer bars all open bar and no cost for anything. We then ended up at our seats which were box seats, some of the best seats in the whole stadium. It fucking kicked ass. I even got a pick on my nikon of Messi scoring the club breaking record of most goals scored. And then sat in a hookah lounge on the beach and watched the Classico ( Real Madrid vs Barcelona) and watched Barca pull the win away from home in a tent full of all nationalities all smoking sheesha and drinking and high fiving each other when Barca scored. It was epic.
I cants even go inot the debauchery, those are like XXX movies, dont wanna scare folks...lol It was sick, all you who know what Im talking about, Im jhealous, I wish I would have known sooner in my life about Barcelona. But thats my new second home now.....fuck central and south america...lol
