Does anyone know of a bar in Barcelona that might be showing this?
Try Flahertys Irish bar, not far from La Rambla. I've seen a game in there before.  They appear to be showing Wolves Dirty Leeds but you could call and ask https://pflaherty.com/

More here https://www.barcelona-life.com/barcelona/sports-bars




Cheers BE!
You've also got Dunne's on the Via Laetana. They don't have the Villa game on their website calendar but once again if there are no Wolves/Leeds fans in why wouldn't they put the Villa on? https://dunnesirishbar.com/live-sport/

The referee is Robert Jones. He has reffed us five times in the Premier League. We lost all of those games.

So what? We are going to FTF!

I think this might be the game Ollie gets a brace.

This fixture always brings to mind our 3rd division meeting in front of a packed VP!
We owe them for our opening day defeat this season. Hopefully Ollie can maintain his goal scoring form. It would be nice for Mings to get his 1st goal of the season against these. 3 points please lads! UTV!

Yes, Ollie is due a brace. All signifiers point to this conclusion; I won't list them here.

Also, he will score a couple of goals. Footy will dance a jig.

We've lost all three home games against them in their Premier League seasons haven't we? I was at the first game back over promotion - we conceded a penalty after about 2 mins didn't we? Luiz scored a screamer consolation.

As for Saturday I hope we win and keep up momentum but we are Villa so wouldn't be surprised with a bad result. Optimistically I'll go for a 2-1 win, Watkins and Traore goals.

Even without Kamara we have to be winning this with relative ease. Traore on from the start might help.

I am over for this game and am meeting a college mate who is  Bournemouth fan. I am going to suggest the Sacred Heart Club for a pint which I have always found friendly enough and I think I have seen away fans in there. Where would be a good place for him to park? Is there anywhere closer than Star City? I park down beside Motorpoint but it is a bit hit and miss. He has two kids with him so needs somewhere that will defffo have a space. Appreciate any pointers here

I used to park on Albert Rd outside Mansfield School. Get there early as it does fill up
Only a 5-10 min walk to ground and you walk past the Sacred Heart

I thought that before the Leicester game.

I am waiting for a predicted score from from Legion before I commit myself.
