    Right, that’s it. I’m off for a lie down in a dark room

    Can somebody tell Hugo that it might be a good idea to stay inside the six yard box? His racing to the edge of the area the second Barca get within 30 yards of goal's cost us twice already.

    We’re naive in big games.

    Defence just keeps on stepping backwards once Barca get the ball...our midfield needs to be effective

    It’s our standard approach. It’s great to be brave, but as you say it’s very naive when you come up against the big teams.

    We've got no genuine creativity to bring Kane into the game.

    We've got head down dribblers and we've got grafters.

    You can’t approach games like this the same way you would approach a home game against a relegation threatened team in the league. For some reason we always do.

    What frustrates me is Hugo as captain is clearly having a **** run of form, but because he’s captain, he’s undroppable.

    That’s why I think it’s stupid making a GK captain.

    I’m absolutely clutching at straws but if we could just get a goal before half time for the confidence. If not I can see it being at least 4-0.

    Tonight should be the end of Lloris as clear number one. Drop him next game and give the position to Gazzaniga until he deserves to be dropped.

    A perfect squad that didn’t, and still doesn’t need improving though, right? <whistle>

    We’ll be lucky to finish with 11 if it carries on like this.

    There's only one thing for it: Skippiesta masterclass incoming!

    Jenas saying that Barca have sucked the soul out of the spurs fans at Wembley.
    I’d beg to differ on that one. Lloris and the ref have done a far better job.

    Inter 1-1 now.

    Do you think Poch will let the team fall in a give Lloris a good drubbing at half time?

    Best bits of the game are when the ball is out of play...get some respite

    Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the ...[suppresses urge to use certain words to describe the genitals and small woodland creatures in close proximity]...ref hasn't given Barca their obligatory penalty yet?
