Champions League

Unlucky Arsenal. Despite myself I ended up almost wanting them to win. I missed the sending off because I volunteer Wednesday nights at an ESOL centre but it was clear from what I did see that the ref was completely out of his depth, while Barca's superstars looked more like spoilt brats until Larsson and tiredness turned the game. The irony is that Barcelona's side is no more Catalan than Arsenal's is English. If they really think of themselves as the national team of Catalonia then how come half their players were wrapped in Brazilian flags when they collected the trophy?
