Things that make you go hmmmm....

This is why we all love the Champions League. Things like Madrid 2 - AC Milan 3. I must say I'm glad I chose to watch it despite all the other games going on and the frantic attempts at channel surfing. Spanish commentary and all too. Madrid were crap. Have been crap. Without Ronaldo. Galacticos my foot. Pfft. What was pretty fun too was watching Madrid's first goal, following Dida's dodo.



Oh yeah, the refereeing was generally crap too. Pathetic (non) penalty decisions, strangely disallowed goals, etc etc.

Things also like FC Zurich 0 - Marseille 1 may you go hmmmm too. And ha ha as well. Writing from Switzerland, I must say it gave me much pleasure to see/hear. After all that happened after beating Milan, this is what happens. Funny thing was listening to the radio the morning after, and people are wondering why the stadium in Zurich was only 3/4 full. Reasons? Oh...people don't like these pitches with running tracks around them. Oh...it's that strange mid-week kick off. (I kid you not). Oh...even then, it's that strange 8.45pm kick off. (I kid you not x 2). That's why the Swiss didn't come support the team. That's why the atmosphere was muted. That's why they lost.

Hmmm. Yes. Of course.

But as I say, that's why I love the Champions League.

Anyway, on the Arse front, thank god Nasri's back.

Is it me or has be recovered quite quickly? Quite unlike some of his team mates? I mean see what he says:

"It was the first serious injury I have had. Two years ago in Marseilles I twisted my ankle but it was not bad like this one. I was sick also, I had meningitis, so that was bad, but this is the first time I have broken a bone in my body. But I am really happy, I had a quick recovery and everything is fine now."

Two years ago, he twisted his ankle! Holy shites. Even me, my last injury was 10 seconds ago typing the title of this entry, and this dude has been playing professional football for x years and the last time was a twisted ankle two years ago?! Shit, we need more of him around! Or maybe like extract some of his DNA and secretly stick it in Theo.

Alright then, nothing much happening till Sunday. Can't wait to see what happens re Pool - Man U. Let's hope for a good result there (anything really!) and then pick up our three points.
