1. First of all, well done Chelsea. I think the word 'phenomenal' just about
covers your performances over the two legs. Defending is just as integral a part of the game as
attacking and, for all Barca's captivating intricacy in and around the area, Chelsea's heroic flat
back nine emerged the victors.

Dangerously cold weather and unplayable pitch conditions wreaked havoc on Ligue 1 action this
weekend after parts of France were struck with blistering, near-freezing temperatures (-13 degrees
Celsius/8 degrees Farenheit).

I think it's amazing you know!. As the final whistle blew last Wednesday night we all felt
elated and you know why? It was because Roberto Di Matteo had studied the greatest club side in the
world and set his team out to not concede anything. Little did we know that we would only go up the
other end and score the decisive goal with our ONLY shot on target!

One player sure to be high on everybody's list, Zat Knight that is
A few players have hithered and thithered about since the turn of the year but, after a fairly
dormant month on the transfer front and with only 385,589 precious seconds left until the January
window SLAMS SHUT is closed carefully and contentiously by the relevant
personnel, we impatient fools at Pies reckon it's high time to start making big things happen in
our minds.

This very day, ten years ago, I sat upstairs in my house in Barcelona. The house with the
terraces and the sunshine and the cheap beer and the sunshine and the sunshine and the warmth and
the sunshine ... sorry, getting a bit wistful here ... and I wrote the very first ever post on
Arseblog.

While compatriot Pepe Reina is busying himself by starring in insurance commercials of
questionable taste and virtue, Spain duo Iker Casillas and Andres Iniesta have
starred in an altogether more wholesome advert campaign for La Liga BBVA which sees the pair taking
to the streets and act their arses off with a bit of starry-eyed role reversal asking stunned
members of the public for autographs, hugs and photographs.

"Juan, does this smell of Marmite to you?"
We are on the eve of a biggy people, leaning and listing lazily toward Chelsea versus Barcelona
at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League tomorrow night;
Chelsea are a quite good football team and Barca are quite good also, so the good news is that it
should be a good match in theory.

Last week I wrote about my perception that results become more variable at this stage of the
season, as pressure and fatigue begin to lay siege on players. Lactic acid grips limbs and coils
itself tightly. This is why plucky little minnows Chelsea, with their £50m substitute striker, can
slay the behemoth of Barcelona and their Barcisssistic ballet of passing and write the kind of
David and Goliath script that causes British journalists to writhe in Nevillegasm.
