Barcelona play away tonight against Levante, a team which is new to the first division for this season. Given that they lack experience in the top division and Barcelona's gradual return to form (they beat Zaragoza 4-1 on Wednesday) this should be pretty much a walk over; but we'll see.
Next match is at home against Atletico de Madrid and some tickets are still available from the link below:

Improved quality of Turin Hotels ready for increase in tourism
Turin really is under developed as a tourist destination, but I'm sure that after the improvements in infrastructure, increase in the number of hotel rooms and better access from budget airlines, that situation won't last too long.
Although the city has a reputation for being industrial - it is true that it led Italy's post war renaissance with Fiat at its head - the centre of Turin is just as you imagine any Italian city, with squares, statues, trams and cobbles; the streets are arcaded and the people dressed like only Italians can.
As I mentioned before the number of hotel rooms has increased, with a number of big hotels opening over the last few years. Not only have new hotels opened though - older establishments have upgraded their facilities and many of the city centre hotels in particular really have come a long way. So my advice; spend a weekend in Turin by flying easyJet or Ryanair; stay in one of the central hotels like Hotel Amadeus; walk the streets, drink the espresso, indulge yourself.

Where to eat in London
I was recently over in London for a few days and as usual found myself in an Indian restaurant on Saturday night. Loads of people here in Barcelona ask me where they can eat well and cheaply in London, and my answer is always the same; Indian food.
Now many people assume that the food is always hot, and sometimes that certainly is true. But on the other hand dishes like tandoori, or mild chicken curry recipes lack the heat of chili but have plenty of flavour provided by the aromatic spices that are used in cooking them.
I went for a standard; chicken Madras with pilau rice which is (or can be) quite hot, and I wouldn't advise someone who doesn' t like heat to go for that. If you don't know what the mesnu is about, simply ask the waiters. They're usually very polite and will be able to advise on the strength of perticular items on the menu. And remember, water is the worst thing to cool your mouth down with!
