Stop being so picky

It's not picky, it's a simple matter of accuracy.

You wouldn't think it right if a Spanish/Catalan person came here and said they were going to see a game at 'Trafford Old'. The principle is exactly the same.

As I said though, the main thing as that you're enjoying yourselves, and I hope that continues.

I heard he was spotted in Churchill Square today...could do a job?

How strange, when we did the MUFC stadium tour around two weeks after they beat Bayern Munich in the last two minutes there were four Bayern fans on the same tour.

Haven't Espanyol got a new stadium this season? Could be worth a look.

They've moved from Olympic Stadium at Montjuic - nice area with great views, relaxing and quiet away form the city bustle, interesting botanic gardens.

... and better than a converted athletics track.

I'm with Beachy with this one. When saying it in English, it makes perfect sense liguistically to spin the words around.

I find grating the annoying habit of using a Spanish word in an English sentence and pronouncing it with Spanish accent.

I've never understood why people do that. Tortilla doesn't need to be pronounce Torrrtiiiiiyyyaaaa....

... and he'll struggle to find anyone saying "Barthelona".

True, not heard that yet.

Camp Nou (for the purists) was bloody superb as was a stroll down the Ramblas with Mrs Hut and a walk round the marina area as the kids went back to the flat.

Very warm weather here................

I guess you know but there is a cable car from Barceloneta over port to Montjuic. I didn't go on it but the views must be great if the weather's good.

Brilliant view, a must-do if the weather permits.

I just remembered why I didn't go on it - it was closed due to it being windy. So hope it's nice and still for you.

Planning to do this tomorrow and weather looks good as well.

However did do it with Junior once, however he was 3 so I expect he knows nothing.....

Annoyingly no games this week, there is another smaller stadium next to the Camp Nou as well and an Ice Rink, kinda like a village on its own.

Well yesterday included a superb Olympic exhibition at Olympic stadium and before a trip to the beach.

Today was Park Guell which was amazing and very hot today as well, wish I'd packed some shorts................

Bit of retail therapy this afternoon so all in all a good day, shame you lot could not behave yourselves
