Iniesta's last game for Barcelona this weekend.  One of the all time greats, one of the most elegant footballers you could hope to see.
Yes I know he will be missed.  Thanks goodness in England we have  JonJo Shelvey.

BBC rumour page, so picked up from some rag, said that Guardiola wants him as player coach if Arteta goes to arsenal.  I'd love that to happen, even if only one season.  I think he's signed a contract in China though, where they're paying him in wine rather than cash.

Isn’t Arteta already at Arsenal?

Dante as Iniesta did everything so naturally and elegantly do you think he will be able to coach those not as gifted?

My wife is watching some match down sarf,it's an early start,so not very fan friendly but a big crowd,tho' very quiet,no chanting,no singing,no booing of the officials.
The upper class female pundits are either gushing or bitchy.James Corden wangled a ticket but his partner got it full barrels,'she's dressed more for a summer's day' tut tut.
They've got it live at the campsite in Australia where my daughter is.
Wonder if they will have the same coverage around the Green Man next Saturday.

Just listening to the jock commentators at the Scottish cup final    praising Brendan Rodgers achievements over the past couple of years. I didn't know coming first in a one horse race was such a big thing.

Love watching him, he seems to glide across the pitch. My mum will be gutted when he hangs up his boots, him and Duncan Edwards are her favourite ever players.

Villa get a mention in the opening seconds of the FA cup final. I like that.

Watching the cup final, with Wembley looking splendid.
That’ll be us next week and the stadium will look a damn site better.

And it will have some atmosphere. Not much noise coming from the crowd is there?

I’m sure he’d be tempted but surely Jonj has got a couple more years as a player in him?

Phil Jones in Vidic moment. Chelsea penalty and Jones not sent off.

1-0 Chelsea

It goes against my nature to stick up for United but I thought he made a genuine challenge for the ball as opposed to a cynical 'professional foul'. I thought a yellow card and a penalty was the right decision.

Ref same decision as Phil Dowd! Jones should've got a red like Vidic against Gabby in the 2010 League Cup final! 1-0 Chelsea from the penalty spot. United always get the rub of the green in these situations!
