This excerpt from Henning Wehn's (A German comedian - yes there is one) latest newsletter….
_Dear Friends of German Comedy,
Now the Paralympics are over, British society can go back to normal.
Instead of cheering on the physically handicapped and highlighting how inspirational they all are, everybody can once again give their undivided attention to the mentally disabled stars of the Barclays Premier League.
It truly is the best league in the world. And if there’s ever not enough entertainment on the pitch then the FA will amuse fans with its brilliant side-shows, such as condemning FIFA for being racist yet continuing the ludicrous John Terry-Anton Ferdinand saga. Which is a bit like the pot calling the kettle a b**** c***.
Let's hope the still-ongoing FA investigation will throw up another gem, like Westminster magistrate Howard Riddle‚s pronouncement that Ferdinand “wouldn’t have the sophistication to make up the allegations”.
Concluding that someone is too unintelligent to be capable of malice has been unheard of in legal circles since Frank Spencer was let off for distributing pornography by motorbike in that episode of Some Mothers Do Have Them.
Going to court is about vindication. But being believed because you’re considered too thick to lie makes for a quite hollow vindication. And if the person you testify against is then still somehow being let off it has no redeeming features at all.
Luckily, if the court got its assessment right, Ferdinand is too dim to understand what was happening anyway and has taken the judge’s comment as a compliment._

When do Germany not have an easy night? Oh, wait…...

And…..
-
To be fair, I'll stop now as I know that Germany have handed our ass to us far more times than we have to them
-
I'm just wondering who is going to be able to take Spain down (besides their own economy).

Bayern is whipping Barcelona's but ttonight
-
4-nil…wasn't expecting that!
They completely outclassed them. Milan and PSG did highlight some weaknesses in Barça in the previous rounds but to see them swept aside like that was still a surprise.
-
hold your breath gentlemen…
barca lost...ok! but bayern was gifted the first 3 goals from those 6 blind guys on and beside the field.
the 4:0 was the only regular goal bayern scored...all in all it was well deserved win though, since barca really had nothing against´em...now let´s pray for a 5:0 for barca in camp nou...please lord, please!

How do people think it's gonna go in the Bernabeu tonight? It's a total cliché but the first goal is all important; if Real score first it could get very interesting.
I still think Dortmund have done enough.
-
I would be astounded if Real managed to reverse it.
-
Yeh, tis a big ask. No doubt they could score a few, but keeping a clean sheet might be beyond them too.
-
I think Dortmund are far too disciplined to allow them to score 4 to be honest. If I had to predict I would go 2 - 1 Madrid tonight.
