Espanyol fans' stream of banners causes some offence

Espanyol fans brandished a series of banners during the clash with Barcelona at Cornella, which the visitors won 2-0.

First they started off by claiming they were Catalan, while Barcelona were Swiss, because their founder Joan Gamper came from there. Then came a stream of messages. 

1. More than a game, this is our dignity. Honour us. (Aimed at Espanyol players)

2. Shakira is everyone's. (Pique's wife)

3. Antonio de la Rua, with you everything started (Shakira's ex)

4. Suarez, yapping dog and biter (after his suspension for mouthing off in the tunnel)

5. Pau, your foot shows us the way (after his Messi stamp)
