Yeah – nice little spanish lesson there from Nic.. Pity I’m not studying it at school though

I’m not trying to sound like a sour Gooner fan here since Titi has left but he’ll never play as well as he did with us at Barcelona, I feel that they have way to many stars trying to play this glitzy “look at me, look at me, I can do 20 step-overs and an around the world in pro-football” kinda thing.. As I said im not being sour about the whole Henry-to-Barcelona-from-Arsenal thing…

Nic:

You mentioned Andres Guardado of Deportivo. He is a very talented young Mexican player who may not receive as much acclaim as his fellow countryman, Giovanni Dos Santos, of Barcelona.

Here is a link to the goal you described by Guardado:

Hi Hugo, there should not be a cedilla in Barcelona. I believe Ahmed must have added it. If you are reading Ahmed the “Ã§” goes in BarÃ§a but not in Barcelona.
The “Ã§” is used before “a” to make it soft like an “s”, barca with a “c” would be pronounced barka, whereas a “c” is automatically soft before an “e” or “i”.

Bloody Spanish eh, why can’t they all just learn English

Sorry to be an asshole Nic, but why the cedilla in Barcelona? I always get annoyed when people don’t put it on BarÃ§a, so now suddenly finding it in Barcelona seems surreal!
