The Club has confirmed that the team will be travelling to London on Tuesday night

Ok, many of you would have already heard the news... No it's not about Giggs and his Super injunction, its about that Volcano eruption of the Volcano whose name is quite tricky - Grimsvoetn. Last season there was a similar Volcano eruption which disrupted our travel plans to Milan. We had to make a two day bus journey and it took a heavy toll on player performance. Compared to that Volcano, Eyjafjallajökull you can atleast spell this one. As the experts says this is the biggest eruption of this Volcano in last 100 years but there are some good news. The ashes are quite thick and that should see it falling back much faster compared to last year. Whatever it is, it is expected to disrupt the British air traffic atleast from Thursday and that could see us travelling a bit earlier. There are some alternative to Bus service available to make it to London. We can fly to Paris and then travel by train from there, so on. But teh best option will be to fly over their. May be our players have to take their families along with them. On a brighter side an early arrival will give us more time to settle in with the mood and climate there. By the way the picture above shows the boot we will be wearing at the final.

Well, there are two games left for us in this season - one a pretty much insignificant one for us and another one which is worth dying for. The insignificant one takes place to morrow at Malaga with both teams having nothing to play for. Guardiola has taken this oppurtunity to rest a majority of his players ahead of the Champions League final clash at Wembley. Valdes, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Puyol and Pique all are ommitted from the squad which will make the journey to Malaga. Unfortunately Fc Barcelona's opponent in this year's big final, Manchester United is not blessed with such an oppurtunity. It's not because they failed to win the title till now, infact they won it last season. But the stupid FA has some even more stupid rule which forces Manchester United to field a very strong side. La Liga management, definitely looks like having some competition over there. On apositive note, it could help the players to get into full focus ahead of the big final on 28th. Meanwhile Guardiola has rested almost all the regular first eleven and we have to wait to see how it will affect the players. But majority of Barca's World Cup stars will gladly take this two week off, especially after that emotionally draining El Clasico series.
