Barcelona - funny as............. 1st leg in Spain - Army wouldn't release me & Tony Graves, Barca won 9-0 ;D 2nd leg in Limassoll - played only lost 4-1 Aggregate score 13-1 Find out a week later that Barca's team in 2nd leg was mainly their reserves, 1st team dint think it was worth coming to eastern end of the Med ;D Humiliating or what

I agree pjw, not humiliating at all!! I only wish I could say I'd played against Barca. The furthest I ever got was a couple of games for grimsby town juniors. Went allright at first, then I gave a penalty away & that was it!!! Phonetics 'Just a boy's dream'.

manc99 - hope you are shaking in your boots about being up against the rams this afto. we've won 4 out the last 9 at O.T. which is a better record than most. even so i expect we'll get knackered again by 5 or 6 goals Well at least it wasn't '5 or 6 goals' ;D
