Last year Barcelona advanced to the final game of the Champions League after a last minute goal against Chelsea by Andres Iniesta. Nine months later a study shows that the birth rate in Barcelona has jumped to 45%. It would be interesting to see if the same could be said of Euro 2008 or how regional birth rates in Spain fared during the 80 years of La Liga. And what if they win their first World Cup this year?

Meanwhile Portsmouth, far more worse off than merely struggling with relegation this year, are in danger of being liquidated by the Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs department for being 97.2 million dollars in debt. As well as not being able to pay their players they had to shut down their website, at least temporarily, after being unable to pay their service provider. One senses a lot of laser tattoo removal in the future.

They are not alone at any rate as Crystal Palace has also entered into bankruptcy .

In the tabloid round up – Wayne Rooney generously recognized that there are ten other men on the field with Him .

Father of the Year John Terry as been been accused of having an affair with the ex-girlfriend of former Chelsea team mate Wayne Bridge.

And Sir Alex Ferguson is calling out Manchester United fans for taunting Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with a chant that involves the word  ‘paedophile’  in it.  Now is that because he has such a young team?
