I'll have to arrange a 'client appointment'

I have rearranged all my work so I can sit here next friday and book the trip! Can't wait! Had to miss out on Barca last year due to being pregnant. The other half had to go on his own. He tried that this time- but :

Lasty: Oh are you coming?

Me: How many Euro aways have we been on?

Lasty: Loads.

Me: How many times have you been on your own?

Lasty: Once

Me: Why?

Lasty: You were pregnant

Me: Am I pregnant now?

Lasty: No

Me: Conversation over.Thank you.

It's commonly accepted by most people with a clue, that Barcelona are the best team in europe at the moment. Whether or not they live upto this billing remains to be seen, but the majority of non-blinkered people with some football knowledge will pinpoint them as the best team out there.

Quite why you're arguing this fact is beyond me, and strikes me as highly pointless.

To be fair I have heard two people who I respect and watch the Spanish league regularly and numerous pundits say that this season that Barca are not the team they were two years ago. That without a fit Ronaldinho or Eto'o they rely too heavily on Messi.

It is obvious that they have one of the best squads in terms of individual talent in Europe however that is not the same thing as being the best team.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to constantly deride those who disagree with you, it is beyond me to be honest.
