Barcelona are probably through to the semi finals of the Champions League, but who the hell knows, it has been thrown out there.
The La Liga giants, gigantic, had some players or other running about on a pitch with a bunch of other players in different shirts – we’re pretty sure one of them was Zlatan Ibrahimovic – but, my goodness, did you see Lionel Messi and David Beckham sitting on the sidelines?
Of course you did. Why would you have been watching anything else? Silly us.
Football Burp said: “This is what happens when you miss a game in which not all that much happened anyway – you have to scour Twitter for any old iron to work with, come across the odd criticism of the television coverage and try to pad that out into a whole piece.
“As you can see, this approach just isn’t working at all. So, instead, please enjoy this selection of tweets about Andy Townsend.”
As promised, here is a selection of tweets about Andy Townsend:
Andy Townsend summarising on international football is like having a painter & decorator do the audioguide for the National Portrait Gallery

I’d rather listen to Andy Townsend talk about football whilst scraping his nails down a chalk board with Mumford & Sons on in the background

Every time Andy Townsend talks, I feel like I’m getting smashed in both my ear holes by a pair of 12 inch Rampant Rabbits. #Sideman #COYS
