Here, Disco, hoy that post back up so I can go "WHEYYYYY!"

Gash, do you dislike anything/anyone in this world?

Seems to be Pep's big idea with Messi - to sit deeper nowadays and actually catch out the opposition positionally by NOT moving, and then storming towards goal when he sees fit. But I have to say, by his ridiculous standards he's set this season, he's been a tad off the boil in the past few weeks - he's missed some absolute sitters.

Barca are very wasteful tonight.

Lionel man, what's going on?

Just offside, very close.

Valencia are doing a really good job of pressurising all over the pitch, but Barca have had the 2 best openings.

All Valenthea atm.

Xavi and Alves start, Pedro does not.

Keith, Ian and Andy.

Quite enjoyed his "can you hear me?" celebration.

Great goal from Bendtner.

Standard Atletico. Is that Atletico Madrid's Belgian feeder club?

However much they do that celebration, it'll never be theirs.

Nice finish Mario. 2-0.

Were they plucky in doing so?

What was the context?

Actually started well, this game.

An impressively clear handball in there as well.

1-0. Yaya.

When, Jose. When.

With whom? Interesting odds. bet365 have Newcastle at 7/4 and us at 13/8, while Skybet have you favourites at 8/5 and us at 17/10. WH have you at 13/8 and us at 9/5.

9 I think.

Any team news, VI? Puyol/Xavi/Alves?
