Actually, I'd like to see Barca perform well, but they singularly flopped at the Bridge last season and I suspect pragmatism will out tonight (that's the kiss of death for Chelski - the Curse of Sweder!).

I have to say the Arse deserved their win with knobs on - what a disappointing no-show from the Galacticos - or is that the Geriatricos? Watching Zidane's ineffectual pirouettes in midfield left me scratching my head. Ronaldo had already shot himself in the foot; players who sound off about not being loved by their own fans before a massive game are duty bound to have a stinker.

I'm in exalted company; the Mighty Hansen reminded us yesterday morning that you never win anything with kids
