Leo Messi scores his hat trick over the weekend. But this is not so much about his skills as
sublime as they are but Ray Hudson's orgasmic Gol TV commentary that accompanies those goals.
"Nothing less than the equivalent of a footballing bird of paradise. He is like Dr Spock, out
off his Vulcan mind" .

As your probably aware, Pies suffered a pretty large hack attack yesterday, knocking us off air
for almost the entire day hence the reason we're slightly late with this one, but it's a goody so
we hope you'll forgive the tardyness.
What we have here is Lionel Messi scoring the third goal of an obligatory,
barely-worth-mentioning hat-trick against Malaga on Sunday eve instantly made great by Gol TV
co-commentator Ray Hudson (a long-time Pies hero) reaching a point of euphoric climax in the
process.

Good news, Comcast subscribers inside the city of Philadelphia! Starting "on or around" April
12, those with the $6.95 per month Sports Entertainment Package will see Fox Soccer Channel HD

Soccer's national TV presence is that the majority do not receive Fox Soccer Channel in HD, and
therefore can't watch all of their team's matches in HD.
UEFA Champions League
The tie of the round begins at the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal Stadium according to UEFA) as
Arsenal and FC Barcelona meet in the knockout phase of the Champions League for the second
consecutive year. When Arsenal failed to win their group, the Gunners always knew that there
would be a chance that they would get Barcelona in the Round of 16 draw, and the fates heeded such
a matchup between two of the best footballing sides in Europe.

Round 23 of 38 might be a little too early to mention relegation six-pointers, but with teams
twelfth to twentieth a within a slender five points of each other and the gap widening between
these teams and the first eleven of La Liga, a three-point win should not be underestimated as time
snowballs downward to the end of the campaign.

Blackburn, in their relentless search for a 'marquee' signing, have reportedly been offered the
services of Boca Juniors stalwart (and light of legendary Gol TV commentator Ray Hudson's
life) Juan Roman Riquelme on the cheap.
Riquelme's agent Barry McIntosh (you can almost smell the pinstripes) told the Lancashire
Telegraph:
"I have spoken with (middle man) Jerome Anderson, who is doing a lot of work for Blackburn
Rovers, about a deal for Riquelme and it is being thought about.
