Do you think it's got to the point that we don't recognise a good thing even though it has just slapped us in the face? If that is the case, what is happening to us all (or a lot of us)?
It’s unbelievable the negativity, especially on Facebook. One thick bint was moaning that not only it was Wigan that had been chosen but the cost of it all, how unfair it was on supporters who would be expected to pay a few hundred pounds to see the game.
Stupid cow had to have it explained to her that it was a Catalans away fixture and the Wigan supporters would have had to travel to South of France anyway. In fact, flights to Barcelona are generally cheaper, as would accommodation.
Catalans winning the cup has given them a massive boost across the region. To parade the cup in front of a capacity crowd was tremendous for them. It’s sure to increase their profile with the Barcelona public.
The Catalans club should be selling tickets throughout the city until the game at a price of just €5 to get them in. Maybe even mail out an offer to the Barcelona season ticket holders? Worth a try, plenty of seats available.
