... but when I'm back in the UK for the semis and the final I will make a point of boycotting them. On another blog someone described them as "slurry in a tortoise shell". Fair?

As for the band: I really can't believe it. How thick and insensitive are they to not realise almost everyone hates them? It's like Gordon Brittas x 6, with brass instruments thrown in for added irritation. I signed the petition, I voted in all the newspaper polls and we're still going to have it inflicted on us tonight. Makes me wish someone had shot Bernie Clifton's ostrich a long time ago.

Still, let's hope for a good performance, if only to shove it to the London media bores who still want Redknapp in charge...
