Man, do I hate those Barca types. Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro, Pique, Puyol, just having to sit through 90 minutes of 'em...I even find myself drooling over Cristiano Ronaldo in a weird counter-spite. Anyway.
On the Arse front, and on the FA Cup front, a nice little tie for us. Leeds United. Nice coz it's not another Premier League team, and nice coz they're big enough to make it interesting. As we saw last year at exactly the same stage, they made it extra interesting for Man U. Fingers crossed they don't do it again. Lightning would not strike twice. Surely not. Surely... Not...
Speaking of Man U. What a tie, and another example of how the FA Cup system really needs to be looked at. Liverpool, in the 3rd round. Yes, a free draw keeps the romance alive, and keeps the smaller teams in it. But can't a compromise be found between a strict seeding system and what is now a free-for-all?
Ah, but who cares. It's the world's oldest knock-out competition, so I'll leave it in the FA's good hands to deal with it.
A final word for Dreamy Bobby Pires. Poor old balding dude. Just what has he gotten himself into? Should've just headed off to LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls or even the Las Vegas High Rollers. Anything other than the humiliation of growing old in front of old friends and foes in the Premier League...
