How funny we use the term "radio silence" when trading emails amongst desk-bound football mad American executives. Not "blackout", but "radio silence," conjuring images of youngsters working an old tube radio, trying to tune in distant broadcasts. Remember shortwave radio? Whatever happened to shortwave radio operators being conduits of staticy information from third world uprisings or far-flung natural calamity? It's all social media now. Email has become so 90's. As passé (almost) as the fax machine.
Meanwhile, in a Camp Nou far, far away, a galactic struggle between two exquisitely designed football sides is taking place. Radio silence is hard to keep when Barcelona and Arsenal are playing. Just home I don't get a telegram when Nasri scores a brace.
