Two questions. Why are they both wearing second kits? Why are large parts of the stadium closed off?

Kits - not sure

Stadium - being redeveloped

I didn't even notice on Wednesday. I was watching on my phone though. Sporadically.

Can you imagine going to a football match on a Sunday night that was still going at 10:50pm?

[MacAdder]

Just watched the highlights which showed RM being completely outplayed by Barca in terms of goalscoring opportunities.

Lovely!

i once went to spanish lower league game that ended well after 11pm

Kit change. It has been reported that Real Madrid wore black to commemorate them being 120 years old and so Barcelona decided to play in their away strip which matches the colours of the Catalan flag. One wag said "Both teams paying homage to what they most love, Barcelona to Catalonia and Madrid to the referees that have helped them so much. A nice gesture."

People on the continent tend to have a different sleep pattern to others mind.

I remember eating with a Greek family in Zante and it was nothing for them to still be awake 11-12 in the night, they often didn’t start eating until very late

Public transport is available 24/7 here, but I still wouldn't fancy it. Not on a Sunday.

I've never had a problem with it. And I've been using it for over 20 years. It's cheap too. $2.75 from one end of the the city to the other.

Austerity measures

[WJ99mobile]

Watch the highlights.

Should have been 7-0 missed 3 sitters

I'll admit it's not flashy like other underground systems I've been on. It has the most stations of any subway in the world and it's one of the oldest systems. Obviously, the newer stations are very nice. But it's cheap, reliable and runs 24 hours a day. I think it serves New York well. It also has free bus transfers. Meaning you can get a $2.75 subway ticket, get off the train, and jump on a bus using the same ticket.

NYC Subway System is great.
Bit shabby but quick and cheap.

the thing we liked about the NYC Subway was that if you looked a little lost ( or even paused to look at a map ) someone would come and ask " where ya going " and advise you , but I guess thats more of a what we liked about NYC people

if you stop on the London underground to look at a map, people will look at you like you are the scum of the earth, as though you've just drop kicked a bag of puppies.
