A couple of things I forgot to mention about the game:
- The Throne of Maradona - Before i came away i was told that your man Diego had a throne at the boca stadium and that no one was allowed to leave the ground until the scorer of the "cosmic kite" had stood up to go. When i got in the ground i looked around for a 6ft golden seat, but the guide pointed to 4 yellow plastic chairs in the middle of a row of blue seats as he told me Diego would not be holding court today.
- Man of the match - despite scoring two goals Martin Palermo does not receive the coveted very un-dude MoM award. Rodrigo Palacio played a good game as he danced around the Velez defence, but the tireless running, strong tackles and crisp passing of Sebastián Battaglia means he wins a bottle of the inexpensive yet very tasty Malbec wine which i shall drink in his honour at somepoint in the next few days. Well done Seb. Keep on Battaglia-n. (hmmm).

I wonder if the Throne of Maradonna has arms, attached to the hand of . . .
I'd heard he always wears 2 Rolex watches. One to show the time wherever he is, and one to show the time wherever his daughter is. The Italian Revenue services clocked this and on a recent visit to Italia they confiscated them in order to settle a few old debts from his Roma days. Apparently he now has 2 casios, one on each wrist.
