Not like the classic Champions' League anthem. But better than the Europa leage one.

Sneijder retires from the international team.

If the plans for Girona-Barça are as Cope reported (no Catalan symbolism allowed, Spanish national anthem played, 40,000 Spanish flags handed out) and the league does try to push that idea through, then I imagine reasonable chance Girona and Barça (try to) refuse to go.

OP: Done. For the stationery geeks amongst us, I bought the hobonichi diary this week. I've thought about having one for years. After much deliberation, got the orignal A6 sized planner, with cover (but not a cover for the cover), and some stickers. The stamps look dead cute, but idek if I'm one for fiddly stamps. The shipping wasn't as bad as I thought, although I'm expecting the customs duties to be a strike to the kidneys, for real.
