Thanks Rajab, and John, great spirit as usual. Nolan, Dinho is benched for the game along with Deco, so that will help us a bit. I think Schuster is an idiot, he left Balboa behind, along with Metzelder and Soldado. Oh well, we still have a competitive squad to win.

HALA MADRID!!! Great write up Corey, I can’t wait for this game! I think it’s a good idea for Schuster to stock the midfield with physical players (Baptista, Diarra, Sneijder). In the past this has been where Barce have dominated us, but this year we might be able to hold our own. Stand up men, and FIGHT! VIVA LOS MERENGUES!

This is the rumored Barca lineup:
Iniesta-Eto’o-Gio
Guddy-Xavi
Toure
Abidal-Milito-Marquez-Puyol

While I think Deco and Ronnie will sneak in at the expense of Gudjohnsen and Gio, that is definitely the back line I want to see – With all due respect to Zambrotta, great player that he is, he’s been off form and we need more steel back there, which Puyol on the right will offer us. Marquez is always a gamble, if he’s off he will be a liability, but if he’s on he is our best defender and we will shut you out.

Good luck white boys, and FORCA BARCA!

Probably a load of crap, but getting Villa would be great!

Big concern, Guti has picked up a knock and is a doubt for the match, damniot. My guess is he starts on the bench now, so we have a midfield of Diarra-Baptista-Sneijder and the only place to guess is Heinze or Marcelo.
