barca from 1999 to 2004 have won nothing even if xavi­ kluivert rivaldo overmars and iniesta were part of the­ team
but after eto join in 2004, they won 3 league, 2­ CL, 1 cup and 2 super cup
eto scored 132 goals in 5­ years, he has become the club 3rd top scorer of all­ time
barca won 1 CL in 98 years but with eto'o, he ­ make them win 2 CL in 5 years
the first was in paris,­ arsenal were leading by one goal but eto cause lehmane­ a red card and score vital goal in 73 minute which­ equale the result to 1-1
the 2nd was in rome, united­ were well over barca dominating the match and missing 4­ clear chances in the first 10 minute
but with first­ half chance eto change everything, after that barca­ dominate
the fact is simply and clear for all
eto want­ to stay
he want to be paid like valdez puyol xavi and­ messi
barca refuse that, do you know why?
they think­ blacks are half human.

now i recognise what people say about spain, before­ whenever people say to me spain is a racist country i­ used to oppose that
but now i can be the witnes for­ that
in last 4 months i have been posting comments with­ different names and personality, the most common name­ was getachew44
i used 13 different email to know the­ fac, i pretend to be madrid fan with madrid father and­ catalan mother, almost all thought it is true
i did­ this to know about spanish people,
coz i don't­ want to judge with things they did like the monkey­ sounds to luis hamilton during formula one race in­ barcelona, or the monkey sounds to england national­ team particularly to rio camble and cole or also the­ monkey sounds to black players in la liga especialy eto­ and ronaldinho or even the former national team couch­ aragunes make racist stetment about henry
but i belive­ all this was fact when i start posting here
whenever i­ write football comment, the spanish fans attack me with­ racism comments
to all here are saying catalans are not­ spanish, infact you maybe right but you can't deny­ that the catalan are more racist than the others, the­ way they shout to hamilton in the formula race say­ alot, about the UNICEF , yes barca is helping but is­ kind of pristege
IF spanish people hate each other do­ anyone can say they like others
spanish make the life­ miserable to latin americans
when we go back to sport,­ some of known as barca fan, you want to make eto­ mistaken
i will make it clear eto ask the club the same­ payment like xavi valdez and puyol
few days ago xavi­ and valdez extend the contract till 2014
why no to­ eto?
infact i was diffending about spanish against EPL­ fans, i was with barca against chelsea and with real­ against liverpool
i was also saying rugby league to EPL­ but now i just know how fool i was when i was­ diffending for la liga and spanish people

to all­ barca fans
i hope you end your racism.
the good thing­ no one from madrid fan was racist with me
remaimber­ barca

barca treat Eto'o well else he leaves for man city

You guy have got to stop with the "Barca is­ racist" comments. I can use Henry as a reason to­ refute any proof of Barca's racism toward­ Eto'o. Henry is black like Eto'o. He wanted to­ leave last summer. But Guardiola convinced him to stay.­ Current evidences say that it's a business­ transaction between 3 parties. And remember, this is a­ BUSINESS. Eto'o, as an employee, has every right to­ choose his employer. I wish he'd stay, but I­ respect his right if he wants to leave.

"Burnley are­ gonna win the league ;)"
Thanks­ for the laugh, we need more humour on these message­ boards.

eto'o is gold, who else has scored in two champions­ league finals? and won it. he scores goals like we all­ have diarrhoea, he does his job, he scores!! but i get­ the feeling he is not treated as gold, as if he is­ dispensible, by his club. huge mistake! why break up a­ system which has worked? is he that african?

good for him

147. your complaining about the possibility of­ eto'o getting more money at city than barcas other­ stars will at barca, saying they'll be unsettled.­ were you complaining about that when barca offered­ henry more money to leave arsenal, no, were you­ complaining when you offered linekar more money than­ spurs could pay, how often have barca been guilty of­ that very same charge, if messi and co are unhappy at­ their wages they can leave and get more if they choose,­ thats an open market, its up to them so stop your­ moaning. barca are champions league winners they should­ be able to compete with any other team for their­ finances and if not, then you'd better hope the­ rest of your team dont want a new challenge and leave­ that stinky hole you call camp nou. p.s. you need to­ get a cleaner and a fumigator in before you try attract­ any more players cause your ground stinks

I finally have come to terms that those who write­ comments in this forum claiming Eto'o is greedy or­ Bla Bla Bla, know nothing about football management or­ how clubs treat players like commodities. It is­ inadmissible that a player at the top of his game is­ being treated unfairly. After giving all to Barca,­ makes me wonder if UNICEF shouldn't strip them of­ their sponsorship, thats just being inhuman. Last year­ they did the same thing and he delivered again, who­ gave them the required goeals to be Champions of Spain,­ who broke the deadlock after Man Utd had pressed them­ through the beginning of the Champions league finals­ without that his goal Barca were definitely having a­ rough time. Eto'o goal changed the rhythm of the­ game and United never recovered. So Barca shame on you.­ SHAME ON YOU BARCA. Why can't he be paid in the­ likes of Messi, after all he deserves it. So give him­ his bonus and let him go if thats the case. Or you give­ him a better deal. FULL STOP! SOAPY

Man city have no chance at winnin anythin
Burnley are­ gonna win the league ;)

Visca el Barca!!!

REF 773 THERS ONLY ONE TEAM IN MANCHESTER IN THE­ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND IT ANT CITY

Who other than the mercenary Robiniho have City signed?­ Given a keeper past his best Bridge who was 3rd choice­ at cealsea and Santa Cruz (How many goals last season?)­ Then there is the mouth of the south Bellamy Can'y­ think of any others. All these world class rumours­ remind me of Glenn Hoddle at spurs linking himself to­ players every week with no end product though you might­ sign Owen before the end of the season!

getachew44-.. ur entitled to say your views mate.. but­ i dont think barca r racist club.. i ve supported them­ for over 20 yrs and i go to nou camp 3-4 times a­ year... and wot u must understand, spain is made up of­ different provinces and there is always a tendancy to­ view spanish as arrogant and racist..but barcelona is­ CATALUNYA not spain.. catalans r more welcoming to­ people than those from madrid-typical capital city­ arragoncy!!! and catalans r a different nation to­ spanish people.. and barca r very very proud of their­ catalan roots.. -hence the el classico's great­ importance. its a battle between catalans who under­ General franco were not allowed to be free and real­ madrid are seen as the symbol of dictatorship and that­ bloody era... or a football note:- barca want to have­ more catalan players -”home grown” like xavi, iniesta,­ puyol and barca over the years have had the great­ player regardless of their colour. And as you know in­ this era of money money.. barca donate a certain­ percentage to UNICEF which im sure u know unicef do­ fantastic work around their world especialy in africa..­ I respect the fact some people think its a barca­ tactict to get a wider audience with their association­ with unicef. I know that barca had a choice between­ (betwin (gambling), beijin olympic logo(china's­ human rights record) or unicef, and as im someone from­ middle east who have seen unicef do great work and a­ barca fan, its an honor to wear their shirt.. plus I­ know a great deal about oppressed nations(as im one­ myself)

on comment 147. Getachew44 you are an idiot. Do you­ think that XAVI and Iniesta make Eto better.They are­ all good plays and the Barca is good because of them.­ Eto was a good scorer at Mallorca b4 joining barca.­ were there Xavi, iniesta messi and the rest with him­ there. Real bought him because he had potentials.­ thanks to real he is who he is today not barca.
Follow­ a play's profile before you talk nonsense. if ytou­ don't have what to say be quiet.JURK
