I watched the second half of the Madrid game last night.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Sometimes it takes looking at a game dispassionately to really notice the intensity. The speed, power and technique of top sides has moved on even from the blessed 2004 era. There simply is no time on the ball any more, for anyone. The speed of thought and movement on display is nothing less than shocking.

My heart is still pounding a bit at the excitement of it all, to be honest.

Eddie Redmayne could follow up his best actor Oscar award with the Golden Raspberry equivalent.

'An American-Australian space opera film'? What were you thinking, man?

3 weeks without. It's been awful.

[Luis Anaconda]

Does that make me a bad person

I am just still enjoying this

Some other half decent ones on Kodi though

[Berni]

I cringe listening to her.

It's also a bit odd that - because of the old magic box of copyright infringement - I'm now listening to reviews of films I've seen some time before. They had one the other day where they reviewed John Wick and Force Majeure - both of which I'd watched months ago.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Actually it's this Friday! Woohoo!

I find it hard to think of a sportsman outside boxing who has ever managed to take self-regard to such a level.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

beings. Worst thing we ever did getting a smart tv with a netflix app on it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Until they check their win bonus numbers. I suspect they forgive him quite a lot, then.

He's a perfect example of the truth of my theory that you can tell someone's personality from their face. He looks like an arrogant scrote, and is an arrogant scrote.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

celebrated with Ronaldo and thank him for the goal :hehe:

[Berni]

Namely that his 'unselfish' play was very much all about his ego.

See Charles de Gaulle and the UK for an example.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Look at his lovely face, la. His brooding, dark eyes. His full, sensual lips. :cry:

Who are you cheering for from this point Sir C?

Or perhaps like me you are simply sat back waiting and watching with no personal or emotional investment as four true giants of the European game clash like rutting stags.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Barcelona give me a pain withe the whole mes que un club *******s. Real Madrid appear to be horrible f**kers. I'll go withe the Eyeties but not care too much.

[Berni]

We briefly considered going to Germany. Then we decided that life was too short to go to Germany as a holiday.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

in two weeks!

[Berni]

f**k it. It's between Seville and Granada imo.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Lovely drive between them through the ******* Nevada.

My first holiday with v.

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Got depressed. We are, at this moment, better than either of those teams. We should be in the Semi :cry:

I agree the pace was very high indeed but Atletico could not retain possession at all and Real had no midfield creation, just quick passing into space. Even Isco, who I think is wonderful, was struggling.

I believe we could give Real or a good go, but Barcelona or Bayern would rip us to bits though.

[Berni]

Wasn't thinking of hiring a car, tbh. Do they have trains in Spain? Do they stay mainly on the plain?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I find a car essential equipment on holiday. But I suppose I'm odd.

[Classic Jorge]

Because of **** flight options we're doing t'north to Madrid, staying there for a couple of days and then training it down to Cadiz via Toledo and Cordoba.

Really looking forward to it

[Berni]

distance. f**k that.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

the airport and it's a steal. I mean, what if you wake up in the morning and fancy going somewhere? I'd have a panic attack if I didn't have a car available.

[Classic Jorge]

I'm going to OD on tapas though

[Snin]

looked lovely

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

In this case a simple "I don't give a *******s" would have been sufficient.

Your personal reservations vis a vis the four protagonists are of no interest to this man.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I bid you good day.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Wash your f**king mouth out son!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Not that there's anything wrong with it.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I am not consenting, but as I always say, each to their own.

I am not on this planet to judge.
