Never. They always try to play it out to someone's feet. It's really beautiful to watch. Very interesting to hear your take after 60 years. I had assumed as much. So, fairly predictable outcome yesterday. Barca picked up a road goal and now will beat Arsenal one or two nothing in Spain and advance.Shane Cashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842609633094503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-55258697365325454422011-02-17T08:37:36.533-06:002011-02-17T08:37:36.533-06:00Jaden, I'm with you.

Like Morgan, I just don't feel good if I don't have some meat in my diet, but as an ardent animal lover, I have a hard time knowing where that meat comes from. So far, vegetarianism hasn't "taken," but I think sooner or later it might. It would help if I could cultivate more of a taste for vegetables.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-25727686965121054232011-02-16T12:59:07.886-06:002011-02-16T12:59:07.886-06:00Ha!

Bill is it fair to call Barcelona (over the past 3 years) the single greatest team ever assembled? Real was a joy when they had zidane, beckham, figo etc, but they never came close to what Barca does night in and night out. Xavi's and Iniesta's ability to control the midfield is unlike anything I've ever watched.Shane Cashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842609633094503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-72489725939184325132011-02-16T11:49:20.625-06:002011-02-16T11:49:20.625-06:00If I had it, I'd pay a ridiculous amount of mo...If I had it, I'd pay a ridiculous amount of money to be there tonight. Whatever they pay for their season tickets is worth it several times over. I watch Barcelona's league games, too, and seeing their 5-0 demolition of Real Madrid was like sitting in the Sistine Chapel with Helen of Troy in my lap and eating the finest chocolate and drinking a Château Pétrus 1982.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-67297286463949056152011-02-16T10:38:44.252-06:002011-02-16T10:38:44.252-06:00Bill I'm three hours away from heading over to...Bill I'm three hours away from heading over to the bar. This is the one I've been waiting for, and I love your comment. If any two teams can bring us "The Beautiful Game," it's certainly these two. What must it have been like to have had season tickets to Barca during this Xavi, Iniesta, Messi era? I cannot imagine.Shane Cashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842609633094503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-17803419864801608142011-02-16T10:00:38.572-06:002011-02-16T10:00:38.572-06:00Ah yes, the Champions' League - and its most a...Ah yes, the Champions' League - and its most auspicious day yet.
