Barça, Barça, Barça

-


I'm in a state of eternal love. I love good food, good wine, the good life and a good woman.

I'm also in love with FC Barcelona... with Messi, Etoo, Henri and the greatest bunch of football players in history, the best coaching staff and the most amazing fans in the world.

On the other hand, I hate Manchester United with a vengeance and accordingly my happiness today is beyond words.

Barça, La Liga Campions. Barça, Copa del Rey Winners. Barça, European Champions 2008 -2009. We kicked ass last night and nothing is more fun than kicking the Red Devils' big, fat and ugly butt.

Barça, Forever!!!

Football in Peru is so awful that I have forgotten what is like to celebrate a team victory.
My brother in law, though, must be thrilled. He is a total fan of Barça. I guess I have to call him...

I haven't had a clue about the EU-championship, and I generally don't like football. But, I won a bet, clueless bet. And I had the best free ice-cream ever!

It was a great game. I watched it with a bunch of in a large restaurant we had all for ourselves :-)
We were split but had such a great time. Barcelona was invincible!!!
Best team in the history of football. And being an Arsenal fan beating Man. UTD was the frosting on the cake for me.

The game was boring, I hate both teams! Both didn't deserve to be in the final especially Barca... They must have paid millions to the referee of their game with the best club on earth 'Chelsi'..

Anyway, enjoy it while it last and will and will see you next season..

Ram,

It must be indeed the best team on the face of the earth. In fact, it's so famous you can't even spell it correctly.

@Ram
I love to disagree on football so I hope you don't mind;-)

Well I hate Man Utd. but I respect them at the same time. They are a great team.

Chelsea on the other hand only got on the map because of the despicable Murinho. If Barca plays the Flamingo, Man UTD. & Liverpool dance to good ol' Rock and Arsenal enthralls the audience with Handle's Watermusic, Chelsea is swinging to the dull Marching Band beat of the Foreign Legions. They are as boring and un-inspirational as the Italian top teams and devoid of any passion and magic.
They should really play in the Russian league where the crook who bought the team is somebody among his peers.
Wow, it felt good to write that, LOL.

I think they are more famous than you think. You with all your limited football knowledge managed to figure them out even with the presumably wrong spelling

Anyway, Chelsi, Chelski, Chelsea all names for a great club.. Choose the spelling you like, it is not my business..I will leave choosing and correcting the spelling to you and I will care only about the essence

Abu Fares

Just to correct you, Chelsea team is the Brazilian of Europe.. They are committed, talented and down to earth players who play to entertain and win..... They have been like this since Zola and before.... I agree Murinho was the perfect manager, but I think he was the perfect manager for the perfect team.
The team was already big before his arrival...

Man U are bunch of arrogant rich spoiled kids with a talented Scot manager.. Without him, they will be nothing...

Liverpool is a team that only relish the past.

Your Barca team should have been buried, done and dusted in the semifinal but what to say....You should thank the Norway, have their flag in your bedroom, and even send the referee post cards on Christmas and new year......

I know history remembers winners, but it remembers cheats as well

Let us see what can you achieve next year....I think nothing while Chelsea well get everything. That is assuming you don't pay the referees. Of course, you will!!!

You see what's nice about talking football and sports in general. I don't agree with anything you said but I still enjoy the argument.

See you next year?! I'm sure we will.

For the Love of Shanklish

In writing about the joy extraordinaire of my tummy, Shanklish , I first looked where any modern-day researcher starts off, the Internet. I was mildly surprised when I found out that a few good Samaritans had attempted to explain what Shanklish is and how it is prepared. However, and to my extreme delight, none of them had done it completely right. Can you believe that! Out of the millions of people on the web, I’ll be the first to scientifically and emotionally tell the rest of the world about the most scrumptious ball of cheese in existence on the planet. Even Wikepedia had already stated that the top delectable variety is found in the area of Tartous . That, at least, should get my Damascene friends off my case. But wait, I’m coming back at them in a little while. There's no point in describing to the uninitiated the taste of Shanklish. It's unlike anything else you've ever eaten in your life. It's simply much tastier yet defies description. From a geohistorical

In response to the latest bigoted outcry on the Syrian Blogsphere against Homosexuality. I never ever imagined that there will come the day when I would have to stand up and fight for the right of homosexuals to be what they have chosen to be. I don’t condone their outlook on life, I don’t concur with their preferences, I don’t truly understand their choice but this is how far I go. My personal judgment and bias should not blind me from seeing that they exist and that I have to shut the fuck up and abide by their freedom of choice. How can we stop ourselves from repudiating all forms of nonconformity? Should we start cleaning our society ( as if our society is clean to start with ) from homosexuals and then relentlessly go down the list. Let us clearly identify the next targets (victims) of this moral crusade. Atheists, adulterers, drinkers, un-hijabed women, un-bearded men, lovers, nightclub patrons, beach bums, hot chicks, artists, poets, communists, irreverent writers, people

Pillow Talk

A few years back an Italian colleague was visiting Syria and we traveled together on business to Aleppo, Homs, Lattakia then eventually Damascus. We had nothing to do on our last day before he was to fly back to Venice and I offered to take him around and show him the ageless beauty of the oldest capital in the world. Francesco asked me if we could go shopping and although it was, and still is, one of my least favorite activities I was delighted to help. He was a great travel companion and I pleasantly inquired about what he had in mind. “ An oriental dancer (belly dancing) costume ,” he told me, his eyes steady and unblinking. I swallowed hard yet kept smiling reassuringly. How in the hell was I going to overcome my acquired modesty and actually ask someone where to buy one of the most sensual pieces of feminine attire, I pondered covertly. I called a friend of mine, a very pretty Damascene girl I once knew and posed the question. “ Now that you’re in your 40’s you’re getting kinky a
