If the team is forced to go by bus or train I'd imagine they'd be pretty tired from the trip. Hopefully they can get down as soon as possible to rest.

There are worries as they are playing Rubin on Tuesday, but I reckon Pep won't be too pissed as he can field reserves against Rubin, already guaranteed top spot so it'd be nice to give Adriano, Keita, Masch, Thiago, Bojan, Jeffren, Muniesa, and co a run out against the Russians.

Sr. Pirotecnic

it seems the game is going to be played this evening after all

Pathetically enough, that's made my night.

Ya I'd say it'll be on sky sports 1 like originally planned. I'm assuming they'll just remove the show they planned on playing when the match was canceled (stupid fcuking darts).

Just watched Pep step off the bus about 10mins ago on Spanish tv.

Face like thunder - Barca released a statement criticising RFEF earlier and rightly so.

Just quick recap for those that dont know what is going on:

FC Barcelona wishes to make clear publically the full sequence of events which have occurred over the last few hours with regards to the CD Osasuna-FC Barcelona game.


1) Since yesterday evening, the club has been aware of the serious incidents which were occurring as a result of the Spanish air traffic controllers’ strike. In the light of these circumstances, Club President Sandro Rosell personally contacted the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) to explain the situation. Following various contacts with different Federation officials and heeding the recommendations of the Spanish Spanish Air Authorities (AENA), Sr Rosell decided to maintain the club’s original travel plans for the trip to Pamplona.

2) At 09.00 this morning the team reported to the Nou Camp to leave for Barcelona airport, but the travel plans were suspended awaiting further information from AENA, who regularly informed the club throughout the morning that the scheduled flight was being cancelled, but guaranteeing that another flight would be available at some point during the morning.

3) The club continued to maintain contact with the RFEF, who as a result of the exceptional circumstances informed the club that the game had been postponed and would take place tomorrow, Sunday, at 17.00. The club accepted this decision, although it affected negatively the preparations for Tuesday’s Champions League game against Rubin Kazan.

4) Following the decision by the RFEF, the club prepared another travel plan which involved taking a high speed train to Zaragoza at 17.00 and then taking a coach for the rest of the journey to Pamplona.

5) To the club’s great surprise, at about 15.00, the RFEF again contacted the club to inform us that despite their earlier decision, they had now decided that the game must go ahead today and that the team would risk forfeiting the three points if it failed to turn up. This note was also signed by the Spanish League (LFP).

6) FC Barcelona has expressed its indignation to the RFEF at the damage to the club’s sporting interests, its image and its supporters, as a result of the RFEF’s indecisiveness. The club accepted the decision to play the game today and set up an emergency travel plan which involved leaving by train an hour earlier than planned, at 16.00, with the intention of playing the game against CD Osasuna as soon as the team arrive in Pamplona.

Unfortunately not. But you can record the repeat later tonight. I don't know which game they're showing the repeat of, though.

1-0 Pedro

GOLASOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since Guardiola started managing the Barca first team, Messi has scored 110 goals, and assisted 43 times in 120 games. Jesus fcuking christ..............

Job done. They looked tired enough, but still played world-class tonight. Sergio Busquets is really making it difficult for Mascherano to get a game

At least chelsea played an entertaining game today though!

exactly , Chelsea are on a rollercoaster- problem is this rollercoaster just seems to go down !


But seriously Barça fans, don't you wish there was some competition in la liga ?
I know there is only 2 pts in it, but let's be honest here, you could put your life savings on them winning la liga this season and sleep tight - knowing it's a guarantee ..

That is unreal, those stats really are scary. Other than Messi i have been so impressed by Bisquets the last year, is he the best player in the Makelele role since Makelele himself? Bisquets role go un-noticed most of the time yet he really is so important.

Does anybody have highlights of tonights game, i just seen the end of it on sky tonight.
