Tis 9pm....

[Ally]

....and we is off out to a friend's birthday party.

Atletico Madrid are playing Barcelona in LaLiga. Fair enough. Spanish footy is life and life here!

But given what's happening oooop north this will be more than a grudge match.

Said game will finish just before 11pm.

Then the party really starts!

I will not be around to start the GM thread tomorrow!

Pass the ibuprofen.

Barca has always been my Spanish team since Subbuteo days in the '60s.

Leeds Utd (my team) started to play in all white to emulate Real, but I preferred the blue and red. I also had Twente and Inter and I still look for their results.

Hope the ibuprofen works.

Have a good time xxx

Cripes, Subbuteo - that's a blast from the past!

The team I had were all green and didn't represent anyone particularly .....

Hope you enjoyed your partying, Ally

I have an irrational dislike of Lionel Messi so support anyone that Barca are playing against.

I have no feelings for him either way but he is very popular in these here parts.

I can imagine! He's popular here too, the little boys next door have Messi shirts and Joe has his Messi football boots
