In Barcelona win, Zaragoza fans embarrass themselves

Barcelona got a big win away at La Romereda, especially considering Madrid lost away to Betis. However, the match was not the only story in the stadium. Racism reared its ugly head at La Romereda, again. This time Eto'o was not the target, but Abidal and Toure Yahya. Take a look here for some more details:

Sid Lowe of the Guardian chimed in

I posted on Sid Lowe's post regarding Barca's controversial win at Zaragoza and I mentioned in my post the incidents of whistling at Yahya and Abidal. This led to a heated back and forth between myself and another poster. So Sid Lowe chimed in and stated that he viewed the whistling as booing directed at Toure Yahya because of the injury he caused to one of Zaragoza's lads in the match at the Nou earlier in the season. You can follow the back and forth here:
