| Barcelona at home !! The sumit off football !! One for almost 20 years that I have wanted to do is upon us.
A fresh Chris has arranged to visit old friend Jock in Spain as the scotsman now lives there with girlfriend Mirna !!
Chris sets off nice and early in the morning quickly completing his first journey from Northfield to New Street and then heads to the square peg to get his coach to London. The coach sets off shortly after 9 and he has a nice 3 hour trip ahead off him. Listening to his Ipod he chills out and looks forward to getting to London as he is meeting his old friend Jeni Hay for a drink before flying to Barcelona.
The journey is a mission and after about 3 hours 15 minutes Chris is in cockney land and meets Jeni. The pair pop for a quick drink and coffee and catch up briefly, time flies and Chris soon has to board his train to the airport. The pair say goodbye and arrange to meet up in January when Jeni returns from South Africa (As she is going to work there for 4 months)
Chris completes his journey and is soon at gatwick where he see''s Mickey from the bill. A Mcdonalds and its time to board the flight.
Chris makes friend with a nice milf on board (Who is also travelling alone) and the pair have a chat and a laugh and enjoy the journey together.
After just a hour and a half Barcelona is upon us. At the airport Jock is nowhere to be seen and Chris hopes he hasn''t got the wrong airport, he rings Jock who is soon there and the pair are re-united after 7 years !!
A quick drink in the station and they get the train to Jocks. After half hour they are there and go to Jocks apartment where Chris is introduced to Mirna. Mirna is lovely and very welcoming.
A evening meal and Chris and Jock after catching up head out to a nice Irish Bar at about 12 (Barcelona gets going late) - They meet up with some off Jocks friends and have a nice evening listening to a band and are soon hammered !! Some food and about a hour walk home for the lunatics who fall asleep pretty quick.
The morning soon arrives and its the day off the game !! Some breckfast and then Jock has to do some work so Chris has a wander on his own, he goes the beach and see''s some beautiful topless ladies, he gets some food and some souvenieers for the kids. Jock meets back up and they go for a meal which is seafood and piella, Chris struggles to eat it as is not use to it, they have some wine aswell and before long its time for the match !!
The lads meet up with Mirna and she gets the match tickets from a ATM machine which is one off the stangest things ever !! For some reason its bank holiday on a Saturday in Barcelona so the buses are not regular, the lads leg it for a bus, Jock is quick but the bus is even to quick for a 2 Stone lighter Christopher and the lads miss it. Another one is soon along and the lads are soon on there way although they are pushed for time. A jog after getting off the bus and the lads are soon there !!
A long long climb to the top and the lads head in the ground !! The ground is AMAZING !!!!! The only way I can describe it is to say its the second most beautiful thing to Ruby I have ever seen !! The views unbelievable, theres no roof so its like your sat in the Sky in beautiful weather watching the match. The first 15 minutes is spent just staring in amazement at the gound. As for the game well all the world stars are out, Messi, Villa, Iniesta, Mascherano, Pedro, Puyol, Xavi and Alves (At half time)
The lads do well and get a seat next to each other as they are suppose to be in seperate seats !! Its like sunbathing watching a game !! QUALITY !!
The game begins and its beautiful pass pass pass football from Barcelona, Villa comes close a couple off times and Messi shows moments off brilliance however Barca cant find a breakthrough. After about half hour there''s a shock on the cards as Hercules take the lead, a freekick is poorly defended and scrambled home by the Hercules forward. Them and there 500 hundred travelling fans are in dreamland and go mental. Its there first season in the top flight in about 15 years and they lead at the Champions and probably best side in Europe !! Barca continue to press and Iniesta goes close but they cant find a way through and half time arrives.
Chris and Jock go for a drink but the que is big so they leave it and look out the top off the Stadium to the training pitch next door which is also a nice site !!
The lads head back to there seat the second half begins. Again Barca press but can not find the breakthrough. Messi has a cheeky flick goal rules out. Unbelieveably Hercules soon strike again, a break away is finished with a screaming shot in to the top corner and they are now 2-0 up and there fans again go crazy !! Barca press but can not get back in to it. Trezugeut misses a golden chance to make it 3-0 towards the end and the game soon ends !!
Outside the ground its mad, thousands off fans leave on there mopegs !!
The way I sum up the game was it was a amazing experience and I was quite happy for Hercules to win the game as must have been dreamland for there fans although I obviously wanted a Barca win !!
The lads head back and stop for a coke in a bar before going back to the apartment and falling asleep until about 11:30pm - The lads force themselves up and get out about 1am !! A few beers in the cool little spanish bars with Jocks friends and on to a nightclub !! The clubs ok but is the smokyest place I have ever been in as theres no no smoking ban in spain and the lads eyes sting like they have never stung before. The lads leave about 5am and head back and are soon asleep !!
The next day Jock takes Chris for a tour off some famous buildings in Barcelona, takes him down the tourist strip Las Ramblas, the lads go for food then find a nice Irish bar to watch Birmingham v Liverpool which ends 0-0 but Birmingham did really deserve to win it !!
Mirna meets the lads and they go for a terrace barbeque at Jock and Mirna''s friends, a nice evening is had although Chris cant understand a word they say !! They leave about 9 as Mirna has work and go for a quite drink of wine before heading back to watch a film and go to bed !!
The next day its a quick bit off brecky, get Lorraine some duty free fags and the long journey home which starts at 12pm and goes train from Jocks to airport, plane from Barcelona to London, train from airport to London Victoria, coach from Victoria to Birmingham, train from Birmingham to Northfied, car from Northfield to home, Chris ets in about 10pm !! Mission !! Amazing trip though !!
