hey guys ... been travelling so I missed the game ... but I was in London, and visited the Emirates ahead of Grand Slam Sunday's Arsenal v Chelsea match!
anway, just found out about the result ... 0-3 was a little more than I expected ... but I was extremely pleased to hear Eto'o scored not one, but two'o goals! I am still to see the highlights, but I heard one goal -- the first, I think -- was a bit more vintage, a bit more special ...
sad to hear about Messi ... I'm not too worried though ... it could work to our advantage, to be honest ... everyone including Real Madrid would be looking at Messi to lead our attack ... but with him out, there is no certainty what line-up will start ... Eto'o's back, and he almost always kicks ass against Real ... Ronnie could use this game to show whether he can deliver on the big stage ... Gudjo wants to prove a thing or two ... plus we have Iniesta, Xavi, Yaya Toure ... if the team plays to potential, we have no worries whatsoever ...
couldn't have put it better myself!

As I earlier said, we don't wanna be the team which is carried by one player. I mea, sure, Messi is probably the greatest player in the world right now, but we've proved we can play without Eto'o, Deco, Zambrotta, Toure and some other players at the same time, so why not without Messi. For ****s sake, this is FC Barcelona we're talking about, the greatest football club in the world. We're not Messi-fans, we're Barca-fans. C'mon man, geez...
