Messi: crap

Henry: crap

Alex Hleb losing his composure in front of goal: Priceless!

That sums up the first semi I suppose. Barca not able to conjure up more than repeated runs into the box, full of trickery, short passes, and nothing much else. Founds familiar, actually. (At least when it's Arse, you can count on Toure or Gallas punting a long ball into the penalty box every now and then when we get in that position).

Chelsea, more content to just soak it all up, and should be kicking themselves for not taking an away goal. They just went out and decided to strangle the day lights out of a one-dimensional Barca. As it stands, methinks Barca should still be in the driver's seat. Chelsea will be forced to do something at Stamford Bridge, and that should suit Barca just fine.

As for the more important semi, who really knows. You can bet Arse won't do a Chelski, and Man U probably will have a little more imagination than the play-acting ponces of Barca. I really can't take idiots like that Dani Alves who clutches at his ankle like his foot has been shot off by a shot-gun, only to get up and running again in 2 minutes.

On this form, wouldn't mind a Barca final - should we get there of course. Whatever the case, we're gonna enjoy the game. The pressure's on Man U. I'm just happy we have two more games to watch at the end of the season. More than one can say of Liverpool.

Tonight I sleep easy. Wonder what it's going to be like tomorrow night.
