'Giggski does a Didier as Dynamos Ballack Barca despite El Gato

Barsylona 5
Dynamostaropremium AFC 5

Champions League semi final second leg
Dynamostaropremium go through on away goals

What a humdinger of a stalemate was served up at the Nou Camp tonight.. The visitors, blighted by injury, Stamford Bridge and television, put out a fledgling side. Reports suggest that Larry Bednapp funneled the power of a Chas n' Dave compilation into the dressing-room motivational ipod docks of the players. The nano my-little-pony power delivered by the pods somehow countered the va-va-voom of Tea-airy Henri and the match ended 'Shaky Stevens', the away goals favouring Larry Bednapp's charges. Try telling that to Conngiggski as he 'spun' off the Wolfkaiser to win the game only for referee Jorge Satantango to disallow. As the legendary journeyman winger linked his hands to form the Anelka 'Dove' and ran to the corner flag to kiss the badge he quickly moved into 'Didier' mode (no, not the diving, though "he's up for an Oscar nomination every week" according to Andy Townsend), remonstrating with the camera crew, the sprinkler operator and the fourth official. Perhaps he should take a lesson out of the songbook of personal hero Red Hurley. That man never faked a minute of his time in the limelight. Ballack Wolfkaiser chased after the referee. Satantango, unaccustomed to such pursuit, threw a range of cards at the incensed former Bayern legend. "Who are ya? Who are ya?!" bayed the crowd. And they were right. Who were they after all? Barsylonas and Dynamos seemed to blend in a great Europudding production. El Gato as usual played his part in the drama with saves out of his personalised Iberian top drawer, while Canwinjones was honoured with the Marmite PotM award.
