So, Barcelona lost to Deportivo 2-0 yesterday. Can't really say I'm surprised either given that Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o and Xavi stayed home, while Victor Valdes, Andres Iniesta, Deco, Gabriel Milito and Eric Abidal were on the bench. Obviously, Frank feels he has bigger fish to fry in England this week. I can't blame his decision, so long as it all comes to victory in Moscow. A tall order for the Blaugrana who have this problem with scoring goals right now, but anything can happen, right?
Anyway, I'm already thinking ahead to next season, 2008-2009. I'm figuring Rijkaard will leave, and in fact I hope he does. Someone needs to put the 'hammer' down, so to speak, and who better than Mourinho? Jose's looking for a job and he's letting it be known Barça are his first pick. He's from the organization back when Robson was there, and so he knows what he's in for. Perfect. With the Portuguese connection we might see Deco staying for a second wind, and with Ronaldo admitting his desire to play in La Liga what a better environment than one with Mourinho at the wheel? The possibilities are simply delightful.
