Paranoid Android

I was up in Seoul at the weekend and did some touristy stuff. The war museum there is excellent, well worth a visit if you're ever in this part of the world.

I'm going to throw this in - all time world XI that you have seen play live (by live I mean in-the-same-stadium-as, not just on telly, you plastic).

This is mine (I think, subject to change). Midfield is a bit clustered but TOTAL DOMINATION will happen in there, I'm sure. Anyway, fuck balance when you're picking the best players you've seen play. I'd have a strong bench, too.

If I did this it would just be dominated by players I've seen for barca. Even if some might be more for their performances at other clubs, like Henry and Zlatan.

I also saw Milan and Bayern in 2009 so some of those players would be in with a chance. I'd want to include Maldini obviously but I feel like that might be cheating a little as I arrived late to that game and he went off injured soon after I got in.

Replaced by the mighty Philipe Senderos who scored the first goal.

Leighton should be in it easily, he was much better than Goram.

Depressing

He's gone off the boil, he was superb earlier in the season, their best player for a period. He seems to be affected by his goal drought at the moment. He's getting desperate and making bad decisions.

Pedro would have had hat tricks in the last two games if he had all the Neymar chances.

Mata's second was great.

The clasico was a strange match. Periods of it were great while other periods were utter dross.

Benzema's back heel set up and Suarez's control and finish were both fantastic. Barca's dominance in the final twenty minutes means they could have won by more but they were lucky half time came when it did.

Drawing that match yesterday was a big disappointment, awful goal to give away. I'd really like us to go on and as high a points total as possible.

Ooh goal for Mata, it's good to see him getting proper game time again. It's been a decent start to the match, I hope it finishes 4-4.

I'm planning on going to sleep straight after and then get up again at 5am for Barca - Madrid which in hopeful is going to be a cracker.

I might be in love with Adam Rooney. What a man.

I wasn't able to listen to Kendrick until today but I finally gave it a couple of spins and I can immediately tell its a special album. I'll need more time with it to know just how great it is.

I expect Juve to get past Monaco but I can't see them going any further than that. It's good that they've finally had a good European campaign again but I think the fact they've underperformed recently will cost them when they come up against one of the very top teams. I don't think the team quite has the necessary experience.

I only got to see the highlights but it's an absolute joy to see Messi play like he did last night.

I have a couple of Korean lads. I like listening to them more than keys and gray.

I got the Bein channel or whatever it's called so I now get La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A as well as Premier League and MLS on another channel.

I get a cable TV package for free with my apartment and I have channels which show the premier league, la liga and bundesliga. Excellent stuff.

The downside is they only show matches they think are interesting. I don't care how bad they think a west ham - west brom match might be, watching that live is preferable to a replay of an old Swansea match they're showing just because Ki scored in it.

I dream of the day Aberdeen sign a Korean player.

I'm downloading it now and very excited. I only listened to Blacker the Berry a couple of times and held off on another couple of tracks that leaked so I could try and enjoy the whole thing fresh. Early reports from a couple of friends are positive. 

I went to see Dagenham and Redbridge once so I've got a soft spot for them, I used to go them on champ man sometimes too.

Has anybody been watching Tina Fey's show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? It's on Netflix and it's nae bad.

 

Nope but I've heard good things, I didn't know Tina Fey was involved.  

 

My recent watching has been the current seasons of The Americans, Elementary and Modern Family.  

 

I also started watching Grey's Anatomy which is completely formulaic tv drama but a good watch.

There's a thing at the Bernebeu, or wherever the club museum is, that challenges visitors to head a hanging ball that is within Ronaldo's heading range.  Its stupidly high.  It's as difficult as trying to dunk in a 12" hoop!  

 

I think that is the height he headed the ball at in the copa del rey final.

 

Speaking of top headers, I just saw Aduriz's winner for Bilbao at the weekend. Bosh, that was as good as it gets.

I don't remember him scoring any but I don't really feel that he does take a lot. Not ones that matter anyway.

We need a new Sinisa Mihailovic.

This Liverpool Blackburn game better be decent, I fell asleep and missed 6 goals during the barca match earlier.

Essentially Ronny is the new Roberto Carlos.

that is strange to hear someone say that, I thought he was well known for his ability in the air. It's something usually brought up in his favour in the endless debate comparing him and Messi. His header to win the copa del rey in 2011 was crazy.

I saw Kingsman last night, absolutely one of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen. I loved it.

I've not been able to do the last couple but I'd like to stay involved

The Great Gatsby isn't quite my favorite novel but I'm pretty sure it's the one I have read the most.

I think they'll do ok tonight, I don't think there's any chance the tie will be over after the first leg.
