So Portsmouth owe Spurs £1 million for Begovic a player that never played for them

Hawwy Wedknapp must have earned himself some right cash from that

Just wondering, why does Busquets play over Toure?

Toure got injured earlier in the season, Busquets cam in played well and is now ahead of him. Not sure it will be the same next season.

Wouldn't write Barca off they could very easily do Inter in the second leg.

Plenty of people wrote them off in 2000 when they lost the first leg 3-1 to Chelsea in the quarter finals.

Not true.

Chelsea went into a 3-0 lead in that game. When Barca scored their goal, it was seen as opening up the tie again.

IMO a Chelsea side lead by Gianluca Vialli, who were just excited at being in the CL in the first place, is a completely different prospect to an Inter Milan side lead by Jose Mourinho.

I expect Inter to go through to the final from this position, but I definitely wouldn't say the tie is over. It's well within Barca's grasp to turn around their performance and beat Inter 2-0 or more.

I'm awaiting the headlines of 'the journey brought us closer and spurred us on' after Liverpool's game with At Madrid tomorrow.

It would be a great headline if we win. It's a disgrace that we're on such a journey for such an important tie, if we manage to win then I expect our player to big up the journey, it beats the regular negative press surrounding the club.

No it isn't.
