Excellent! No leg room on that aircraft.

Puyol has the worst hair-do in Europe.

It's actually the second worst. The guy who sits next to me in 328 who has spiky hair and a mullet in the style of Black Lace's lead singer circa 1985, or Rod Stewart any year, is the champion.

Look at them......bless

They're getting all excited because they're going on a trip to Manchester City Football Club

+100

agree with that team

Nah, I'd definitely start Jovetic. He will occupy the lines between their back 4 and midfield like he did against Chelsea. I'd save Navas for the second half.

I wouldn't start him. Gives the ball away too much, which we just can't afford in this match

 

[Wrighty Wrexham]

remember feeling like this when we stuffed Everton before playing Bayern!!!

Hope we get a better result this time!!!

Games like these are where your manager earns his cash. The tactical set up is so important.

I've chosen the above to add some protection to the back four, whilst offering plenty going forward. Ferna can play a box to box role and be involved defensively and going forward. It gives Yaya a license to hurt Barca where they are weakest.

Though I think Fernandinho will be on the bench and Navas might play, with Yaya dropping back and Silva behind Negredo. Purely based on thinks Pelle has done in the past. I prefer my team though :) Which i'm sure worries him.
