Pity poor Barcelona

As if things aren't bad enough, look whats been done to their kit:

 

 

echo

[AE]

f**k me its not a chip they have on their shoulder its the McCains factory.

1986 finalists.

I hope the Barca old boys **** them over like they would have done in the third round that year

[Benitez]

lol, thats embarrassing. A match against a team they HOPED to have played in a final that never was decades ago? Surely they could have marketed it differently rather than word it this way. Little Everton trying to play with the big boys again I spose. They do have such an inferiority complex.

[matty]

Reds go Catalan....

[Cobs]

small time, small club, sad t.wats

 

They might as well play it for the Ifitwasntforheysel Trophy

[R A Softlad]

My sentiments exactly Cobs. Another excuse by a small time club to breed yet more ill informed discontent amongst bluesh*te sproglets. Pathetic.

[jimmylibel]

Surprisingly modest gesture by the Bluesh*t. I'd have thought they'd have wanted to test themselves against the mighty Steaua for the title of 'Who was really the best team in Europe in 1986 - not including Liverpool'. Nice of them to recognise they wouldn't have won that European Cup anyway.

[Cheesecake]

if they do win, they will claim the European Cup for that year - hey at least then they can pretend to have one.

 

Cant see much take for an open top bus thru the streets of Liverpool though.

[stressederic]

That is beyond cringeworthy. Beautifully timed as well, just after we knock Barca out of the European Cup.

perhaps they'll bring on some geriatric Romanians for a penalty shoot out at the end to really settle things ?

thats f***ing disgraceful reporting by the echo that. i am speechless.

 

Although its everything i have come to expect by the small club.

[Andythered]

I know its Everton but aren't they aware of how petty and stupid they look. We knock Barca out of the cup this week and they announce their IFITHADNYOFBEENFORHESYEL cup with veterans playing next week.

 

Its like making a big deal out of masters league stuff. Embarrasing. Who is the ugly bint?

[£440,000]

I hope Figaro´s gonna have a word with Luis Enrique about this.

[Cobs]

Who is the ugly bint?

Graeme Sharp, isn't it ?

[Benzo-13]

When are our lads playing Milan's 88 side then??

[Gilps]

That's f***ing hilarious

[Bootle Buck]

Everton greats like Dave Watson, Graeme Sharp and Peter Reid

 

That just about sums it up.

 

"We would have conquered Europe if it wasn't for those meddling Kopites"

Europe won't be at rest until this issue is settled, it's the only fair way I can think of.

[Knox_Harrington]

I think it's really sad and just underlines a mentality that won't change until they are successful again. And I don't think they stand a chance of being successful again until the mentality goes. It's scandalous that gets written that way in the Liverpool Echo.

[Murphman]

Incredible, I'm truly amazed, 'hoped to play against', reading that you'd have thought they were 8-0 up from the first semi when the ban was enforced.

[Maldini]

Since Rafa's "small club" comments they've gone into overdrive trying to prove him right. They're a sham.

I await the first "Hey Rafa what's a small club doing playing against Barcelona then?" comments.

[Falconhoof]

I await the usual 'I'm bitter me '

It must be really good fun being a fly on the wall in your houses. (Them that live in Liverpool) So when you all sit around the table with your Evertonion relations, do you slag each other off and do they go on about Heysel?
