Two things:
1 - we are Villa, they have Villa (to be or to have: this is the problem).
2 - we both are claret and blue. ;)
-
I honestly don't think we, or almost every other club, are playing the same sport, after watching that.
-
We both play a game called football, typically played with 11 players a side (unless sidwell and/or carew are on the pitch), involving a pair of goalposts and a round object.
Think thats the similarities done, anyone for pimms?

Barcelona play in claret and blue? Really?

Why not? They are called the blau or azulgrana, that means: claret (grana) and blue (azul or blau).
Even if their blue is a proper blue, our is a pale blue.
-
Breathtaking football - they have risen the game to a new level. The passing and control in unbelievably tight spaces.
Even better is their work rate on the few occasions they don't have the ball.

I think in English their colours are described as "maroon and blue." There is a passing similarity but on balance I'd say the likes of West Aam and Barnsley are closer to our colours.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I have always had difficulties to understand the various shades of the colour that we call, after the wine, "bordeaux", in English.
But I thought that maroon was a darker colour, the colour of Heart od Midlothian and the Arsenal farewell to Highbury shirt.
Claret is a red dark more purplish than brownish.
And if you compare the shirts, you can see that our claret is quite similar to Barça's.
Or not?

Perhaps I'm colour blind then because I would have said that that Arsenal and the Hearts shirts are more like the colour of Barcelona.
Ultimately, I just don't see shirt colours as something we have in common with Barcelona.
Perhaps we need a poll adding to get the views of people here?
-
We've got pretty scuzzy, small-time neighbours (with apologies to Espanyol, who I quite like).
-
I bet they haven't got more canals than Venice.
-
We're in the second city, and have spent years being stiffed by the facist pig-dogs from the capitol.
-
I would like to think that Barcelona's colours are claret and blue and i just wish we was as good as them.

As ever, I agree with you PW. I sat there thinking this is actually a completely different sport to the one I saw Villa playing against Arsenal or even Leicester v Forest over on the other channel. Must be fantastic to live in Barcelona and watch that every week...

Plus you don't have to que for the entire half time for a frothy 3/4pint of Fosters at the Camp Nou, dudes up and down the stairs with can's of Estrella all the way through the game!

We've both won the European Cup more times than any London sides

Must be fantastic to live in Barcelona full stop! Wonderful city and an amazing display last night. I love the way that they pass the ball to a team member who is heavily marked and don't lose the ball or get in a flap. My one criticism after watching them on a regular basis is that they don't get enough bodies into the box when they attack and they have little or no aerial threat which would allow them to mix their game up a bit although their fantastic movement makes up a bit for that. Last night they humiliated a team which cost E390 Million to assemble, any member of which would walk into our team.
