What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

It’s not ‘crickets.’ Its a semi-final for the ages. It’s not a situation that simply cannot happen. Its jazz. Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain. Kind of Blue vs. Sketches of Spain. Verdict: Kind of Blue won because it is more complete. Sketches of Spain, on the other hand, is exactly that, sketches of Spain’s greatest club team which would, as a painting, be finished the next season. That Barcelona would win the treble just like Inter Milan but do it in a more attacking, exquisitely magnificent, and explosively breathtaking fashion. In essence, it is the Bitches Brew to Kind of Blue but why Bitches Brew? The treble instead of the genuine treble is why and while on the subject of genuine treble, that’s All Blues. Achieved by Jose’s genius in transfer, that’s Blue in Green. New faces in and old faces out, the latter had become surplus to requirements, a Freddie Freeloader so to write. Then there is So What. So what if Jose wanted to defend his title by even more defense? (That's what makes him The Special One)

All Blues proves he was right. Then he left. Bound for Spain, that's the Flamenco in Flamenco Sketches. Unfortunately for him, his arrival in Spain coincided with Sketches of Spain achieving its final form, the legendary Bitches Brew. The Special One’s first Clasico was a drubbing, a scintillating Pharoah’s Dance so above his Flamenco that it might as well be hieroglyphics to a Japanese. Executed to flawless perfection was the Positional Football that Pep created AKA Bitches Brew, the same Bitches Brew that Spain used to devastating effect in their Euros ’12 campaign. Of special note were Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, the Spanish Key that unlocked opposition defenses with frightful ease but back to the first El Clasico. A 5-0 loss for the Special One, it was a dismantling so complete, one would not be faulted for christening it John McLaughlin’ for indeed, every Barcelona player laughed (some with five fingers aloft).

Could have been two hands if Football did not stop the magic ( blowing the whistle) AKA Miles Runs The Voodoo Down. After Miles Runs The Voodoo Down, The Special One does not feel relief for they will no be Sanctuary for him from the harsh criticism to follow. The Feio expression on his face says as much and it should for his In A Silent Way was unsightly compared to Bitches Brew, screaming its inadequacies across the two halves like Side one and Side two. Yes, it’s time. Time to look at In A Silent Way’s album cover. Yes, it’s time. Time to laugh at The Special One’s look-to-the-sky expression.

PS: Don't laugh...too much
