OFFSIDE: Pique’s Tweets
Last week, FC Barcelona and Spanish international defender Gerard Pique (23) was once again busy on his new Twitter account. The week before, the running theme had been dropping in on Puyol for dinner. What was it last week? Read on to find out. Read the translation of some of his tweets from December 12th through December 21st. Included are also some of Puyol’s responses.

Veo mucha expectación por ver mi árbol… Me da vergüenza! Las bolas pesan demasiado y las ramas no estan rectas.. mas bien estan dobladas!
I see a lot of expectation to see my tree… it shames me! The balls weigh too much and the branches aren’t straight…. more like they are folded over!

@Carles5puyol @cesc4official. Oooooooooohhh! Después de ver vuestros árboles, reconozco que ahora mismo el mío no está a la altura..!
…Oooooooooohhh! After seeing your trees, I realize now that mine is not at the same level…!
@Carles5puyol @cesc4official. Quizas sea porque no tengo la suerte de tener a @Malenacosta7 o a Carla a mi lado para que me ayuden!
… Maybe it’s because I don’t have the good luck of having @Malenacosta7 or Carla at my side to help me!
@Carles5puyol Esta noche colgaré mi deseado árbol de Navidad!Solo aviso que ni vuela ni tiene piernas!Asi que no entiendo esta expectacion!!
… Tonight I’ll post [the photo of] my desired Christmas tree! I just warn you that it doesn’t fly or have legs! I don’t understand this expectation!!
[EDITOR’S NOTE: El Mundo Deportivo picked up on Pique and Puyol’s tweets and also pressured Pique to post the photo of his tree.]
PUYOL:http://twitpic.com/3g43b8 – El árbol de @3gerardpique oooooooooohhh!!!! Q triste no? Esta noche colgará el definitivo.
(JOKE PHOTO) @3gerardpique’s tree oooooooooohhh!!!! How sad, no? Tonight he’ll post the definitive one.
Será más complicado realizar una buena foto a mi Xmas tree que jugar un partido delante de 90.000 personas..No sabéis la presión que tengo!
It’ll be more complicated to take a good photo of my tree than to play a game in front of 90,000 people …. you all don’t understand that pressure I’m under!

uff, please stop postig those twitter stuff on totalbarca, people can follow our players by themselfs…
I love that he choosed the capita picture for his backround. He looked good with it. He is gonna be a great capita one day
this twitter thing makes us fans feel like part of the pique gang!!
You know you can easily scroll down
it's good to know a bit more about our players off the pitch once in a while :p merry christmas!
Ignore the top poster, keep these tweets coming…..itching to know what happens to the smas tree after xmas lol
I'm from Denmark and what is the "oooooh" thing? I read it as had he dissed someone and the crowd goes "ooooooh (snap!)" like in 8mile or something
Oooooooooooh I like this post! Cant understand Pique's fascination with the word "Oooooh"!
Hey guys! Does anyone know when the tickets for the Arsenal match will be on sale on the official website for socios outside Spain?
Oh, just found it. The official site put it up recently
Try to find out by yourself, and then ask
This "ohhh" is repeated many times. xD
It was requested by a reader who doesn't speak Spanish. So, one can follow his tweets… but only if they speak Spanish. As mentioned, if you don't want to read the tweets — then don't. Otros (o es decir, quizás otras…), sí, quieren leerlos.
I have no idea why he is always saying, "Oooooohhh!"
yea i have always wondered what the oooohhh is. it's clearly a joke between pique, puyol and cesc, as all three always add it to their twitter posts when talking to one another. i wish we'd know where it comes from
ooohhhhh I love these tweets
and yes, i wanna know what the ooohhhh is for! same with the moc moc! 
there are some cules in some countries who don't have access to twitter or fb coz it's blocked…
so thank you so much Tb, i for one had a good laugh from this one… keep it up!
happy white Christmas!!:D
The oooooohh thing is a joke between Pique, Puyi and Cesc.. Im not sure of the exact joke or anything, but its been reported that it was started during the world cup when they took a photo and posted it to twitter, they were all going 'oooohhhh'
Random lads! haha =]
I love the fact that you post the tweets because not all of us understand spanish or catalan and God bless it but google translate only goes so far. It can leave you more confused than when you read the original tweet! So thanks for posting the translation. I follow Pique's twitter because sometimes he post things in english.
So true! Google translate cannot really work on something like this.
Now, I have trouble when he writes in Catalan, but I can usually follow his Spanish. And like you said, sometimes we does write in English. I did leave things out, but I thought the Christmas tree thing was silly but funny. 
I think it's funny to read the tweets among them. Thanks for explaining the "Oooooohhh!!" thing.
This is great, Pique is so funny! If you follow barcastuff on twitter, they post english translations of pique and puyol's tweets
It's great to hear how they talk. Also, the fact that you brought the original Spanish – it's a nice way to learn the language.
Ooooooohhhhhhhh!
LOL "ISN'T THAT THE XMAS TREE FROM UR PARENTS HOUSE??" LOL the cap made me lol in real life
ok thanks for that tip I'll go do that
puyol, Pique and Cesc together will run riot with their fun and frolic!
@Noro
I don't have Twitter so I like what TotalBarca is doing. Stop complaining you jerk off. It's not like your paying the staff or anything.
THAT PICTURE OF A SKINNY XMAS TREE MADE ME LAUGH SO DAMN HARD!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
pique funny guy XD
what does moc moc mean?
Thanks for this, I tried to use Google Translate to see what they were tweeting to each other but it was pretty useless lol. I love Pique and Puyol's friendship, no wonder they work so well together on the pitch!

maybe they are bieber fans (baby, baby baby ooooh)
First thing: Don't tell me what do. Second, I actually looked the other day on the official website and I found nothing. There fore I asked here, and then I glanced at the website again and they recently put it up.
Personally I think that this is the correct explanation for the constant use of 'Ooooooh':

Maybe … maybe not. Ah, what difference does it make! It's Piqué, it's awesome!
