Champions League? You're 'avin' a laff . . .

[El Gordo]

Why? Why would I support a team from la Liga against the Invincibles from the Premiership?

Real Madrid have provisionally named two Englishmen in their team for this evening.
Arsenal have none :mad:

Hmm, that won't really wash, Sweder. I can hear those sour grapes squelching underfoot with every word...

But yes, it is a magnificent irony that the 'Spanish team' had 2 Anglos while the English side had none. Despite all that, I was with the Gooners all the way tonight. Fantastic performance, and what a match-winning goal from Henry.

It's true that I quite like Arsenal though. Perhaps I wouldn't be so rational with all other English clubs in Europe. I wouldn't want to single out any in particular of course, but let's just say that in the interests of international balance, it would be nice if Barcelona could rescue a little bit of pride for the Spaniards in SW6 tomorrow night.
