Red-faced Devils Who said modern footballers take themselves too seriously? If the price is right they will still happily throw themselves into embarrassing commercial situations. Having said that, if you're hoping to see Dimitar Berbatov in an air hostess uniform you will be left disappointed by this Turkish Airlines video.

The preparations are underway for Saturday's Champions League extravaganza! Cameras are being set up around the stadium, players are arriving in London (boyband swagger and all geez!) and the trophy is probably being polished in a fancy factory somewhere. Unless you're an annoyed Basque supporter (many of them are ready to annoy the living daylights out of the Catalans and Madrilenos), you have exactly two days to make your predictions.

By Dominic Vieira, writing from Lancaster, England

It's Wednesday, the 2011 Champions League Final kicks off in 4 days and it's certain that numerous thoughts will be troubling the great minds of Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola night and day. One of the greatest concerns will be United's choice for the right-back position whilst Barcelona has a dilemma with left-backs.

This sounds incredibly petty and bimbo-tic (yada, yada), but what is up with David Villa's hair??!! There needs to be a balance between being one of Spain's favourite forwards and a member of Fight Club, vale? You can't have both, tipo!

Speaking of Villa, everyone at Barca is making their way to London right now for the Champions League final this Saturday.

Rising from the dead (vs Blackpool)

Having had time for the emotions to subside after a fantastic come from behind win, I realize again how little I care about being undefeated. Sure, it'll be nice to equal the feat of the Invincibles, but at the end of the season, that's not the ultimate prize. I don't think going undefeated and winning the league are mutually exclusive.

Rafael’s Miconduct Charge – Where is the ‘Respect’?

All Four One, and One Four All! 19 January @ 06:25 AM EST Blog Details : Related Items

The flashpoint of our Sunday night's game against Spurs was undoubtedly the red-card-that-wasn't that was shown to Rafael da Silva. Till that point, and barring the tackle which got him his first yellow, Rafael had been magnificent. He'd kept Bale under check for almost the entire period, restrcting him to only a couple of good crosses.

FA charges Rafael (surprise surprise)

Not that I condone that sort of abuse levelled at referees because there should be some respect given them. However, if you've just made an absolutely terrible call in a very high intensity game, you can expect to hear about it.

How about to make things fair, the FA charge Mike Dean with improper refereeing?

1. Sky Sports must have been expecting their Sunday offering of derbies and top four clashes to be a big draw, but perhaps not a succession of draws. 2. Forget Edin Dzeko. Tha January imports providing the best goal return for Manchester City appear to be Carlos Tevez's kids. 3. It was a great weekend [.
