These dragons, they keep eating things. Or something.

I’ve caught a cold, so probably won’t be up watching myself, but it’s the last chance to 2010 or something to see a total lunar eclipse, so worth mentioning. Totality begins 03:01 GMT on the 21st and end 03:51. The Moon will likely turn to blood (thanks to light refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere). That’s all if there isn’t too much cloud to see it which, let’s face it, there probably will be.

The idea of playing an extra game, abroad, away from the fans, with the top teams seeded is not only a typically money grabbing manoeuvre by those with passion not for the game but the pounds (or dollars, or whatever their local currency is) it can generate. It is also an affront to the integrity of the competition itself, calling into question its very fairness in a way which cannot go unanswered. Sign the petition now.
