On Saturday 28th May 2011, Barcelona provided the watching world with one of the greatest conclusions to a season ever with their 3-1 win over Manchester United in the Champions League final at Wembley. The performance that won them the trophy, along with incredibly consistent displays throughout the season that also saw them retain their Primera Divisin for a third succe sive season, had many, if not all running out of superlatives. In winning these trophies, Barcelona provided spectators with a plethora of style, grace, skill and exuberance that forced Sir Alex Ferguson into the admi sion that they were the best team I have faced.Seemingly though, no sooner had this mastercla s at Wembley come to an end, Barcelonas attention Kenneth Gainwell Jersey turned to their long-running pursuit of Arsenals Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, and a series of dirty, rule bending tricks would be brought into play by the European champions Jason Croom Jersey in an attempt to unsettle him. Along with a catalogue of quotes from several of their playersdesigned to unrest Fabregas, Barcelona were also stubborn, disorganised and nonsensical when trying to agree a fee with Arsenal for the player. In the past week, even the mayor of Fabregas hometown has given us his thoughts on the matter, although admittedly what he actually had to say, comparing Fabregas current situation to kidnap, had about as much logic to it as trying to ride a bike that doesnt have any wheels.The first barrage of reports linking Fabregas with a transfer to the Camp Nou started in the summer of 2010. Much like this summer, the Spaniard was consistently linked with a move, and Arsene Wenger was relentle s in his defiance of such a prospect. This summer, current Barcelona stars such as Xavi, David Villa, Daniel Alves, Gerard Piqu Chris Long Jersey and Carles Puyol have decided to publicly voice their insistence that not only Fabregas the player comes to join the party in Catalonia, but Fabregas their mate comes to join the party in Catalonia. Now here is where the concern over Barcelonas off-field conduct first arise. Where as the manner with which they go about their busine s on the pitch is an example for generations to follow, theirbehavioroff it is one that smacks of arrogance,disrespect and in some cases, sheer stupidity.Now I am prepared to give the Barcelona players that havereportedlycome out with quotes a degree of slack as there could be a case of their comments being lost in translation, or even the media source to have written them down twisting their words to make a story. But what cant be denied is that players have come out and talked to the media about the transfer of another clubs player. Now no official rules are being broken here, but technically it could be seen as tapping up Fabregas. What is for sure is the fact that what the Barcelona players are doing is unethical, and is therefore unsporting conduct.Now one of my major grievances over this whole episode is the way Arsenal Football Club have been treated. Granted, Barcelona are virtually untouchable on the pitch at the moment, but lets not forget that a new season is about to start. Whos to say that Barcelona will still be in such a healthy position come this time next year? With Mourinhos Real bound Darius Slay Jr. Jersey to improve upon last years efforts, and the Champions League being notoriously difficult to retain, Barca may not be so infallible come May 2012. For me, the most important fact to remember is that Arsenal, like Barcelona, are a huge club. Under Wenger, Arsenals stock has risenphenomenally, with the club becoming one of the most profitable and Britain Covey Jersey valuable sports teams around. The football played at the Emirates, although maybe not quite matching Barcas standard, is fantastic to watch, and in Wenger, they have one of the most revered managers around. And lets not forget that Arsenal were the only team to beat Barcelona in this years Champions League.I think Arsenal deserve far more respect than what has been given to them by Barcelona. Without Arsenal, Fabregas wouldnt be a world champion, he wouldnt even be upon Barcelonas transfer radar. Under Wenger, he has become a genuine world cla s talent. Not bad for a club that kidnapped him now, is it?
