Composed by Handel

Uefa Champions League Theme
Ce sont les meilleure equipes
Es sind sie allerbesten mannschaften
The main event
Die meister
Die besten
Les grande equips
The champions!
Une grande reunion
Eine grosse sportliche veranstaltung
The main event
Ils sont les meilleurs
Sie sind die besten
These are the champions
Die Meister
Die Besten
Les grandes equipes
The champions!

I have to confess, I had the biggest grin on my face listening to this tune I normally take the piss out of, and yes, a tear escaped. What about you?

I jest I jest, however if you are interested in hearing more of Zadok the Priest here is a video showing it as the Crout-Limey intended when it was commisioned for Porgy II, keeping his Water Music in mind you can really hear in this how he shares motifs between works... or am I just taking the piss?

I must admit I am more of a Gustav Holst man myself, Jupiter truly is the bringer of jollity, plus I love Rugby Union.

Am i just simply being a thicko, or is that a reference to an ear and the palate, in connection with fine taste in music, or are you simply klunking us all with a piece of wood taken from an object that is used to transport a 100 crates of wine ( fine wines or not) ?

Am i getting lost in the rhetoric and similes ?



I too was lost in that moment, looking for my seat behind the kolorov freekick goal on wednesday. A joyous moment on wednesday

night!

I'm still wearing my coat, so i'll be off!

The Overture from his Rienzi is a personal favourite, you cant beat a bit of Dick Wagner.

Indeed. If the ear is a vagina, then Dick just slides right in and explodes.

all i thought when i heard it was 'shit', as I was still legging it up Mercer way from the car parks at that point.

Made a nice background noise to the heart attack I was having, though. Must make an effort to get fit. Or just arrive at the match sooner.
