Well, let's call it a semi-permanent hiatus, until DishNetwork and GolTV come to their senses.

That "kaliedescope eyes" comment is my favorite Ray-ism of the season so far, totally off the cuff as only the Hud can do.

I long for the return of this blog like a fat kid for cake. This GolTV - DirectTV spat has gone from the ridiculous to the bloody ridiculous.

At the start of the last Barcelona game, Hudson described their play as "THE SORT OF FOOTBALL THAT SHOULD BE WATCHED WHILE LISTENING TO WAGNERS "RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES". I then had to play the piece for my 13 year old! She LOVED it! Thanks Ray,for turning my kid onto classical music!

Not to worry, Colin. I'll be watching Veetle and reporting to you folks.

Classic Hudson in the Atletico v Barca match when Messi was described in neon light language by Ray..."Messi could braid 5 live pythons with his feet!"

His best ever,though we keep saying that...

"Here, in the modern game, there are things that are overly scrutinized, and to very little effect. You can track what Riquelme does, the patterns he runs, and how many miles he's covered. You can look at that and say that he's playing like a donkey, but he's the greatest player in the world."

Phil: Now the coaches are down to relying on help from the heavens.
Ray: That's right divine intervention Phil, its a great thing.

Its a little bit like heckle without the jeckle out there and danny is playing without leonel.

Phil: "It's a rather strong wind, about 13 miles an hour gust close to 20."
Ray: "There's a wind down there? Are you sure? I think its the crowds vocals that you see as the wind man!"

Phil: "Casillas with the miscue and out for a corner."
Ray: "Obviously his halo slipped down over his head."

WTF?!?... so gol tv lost their feed today around the end of the first half of the real madrid game! So i ended up watching the rest of the game on some crappy stream =X (the rest of the game really got me missing ray hudson's commentary) =[
Anyway, at least i got a little taste of ray's golden words..

"De la Peña can pull rabbits out of his hats the size of grey hounds when he wants to!"

In the athletico madrid game, after henry's goal, Phil think's it has deflected, and Ray is sure it hasn't to the point where he says "We'll take a look at the replay one more time, and if it's taken a deflection Phil, I'll buy you a milkshake"...haha. Phil tries to play along and asks for a "char grilled salmon" instead, a request Ray quickly strikes down with a simple "No". Hahahaha

Phil Shane comments, "There`s no rest for the weary". Ray corrects him nicely, "I believe thats "No rest for the wicked, Phil....Book of Issiah".

You could have heard a pin drop in our livingroom...Ray quoting the Bible. 5 Stars!

Also,in the Bundesliga game on Saturday a Hudson gem..." Well,it as obvious as Barbara Streisands nose!"

Yee-hah!!!!

"You know how the referee's supposed to be the fittest in the country? His eyes aren't fit!"

"He was caught with his knickers down ... or was he fouled?"

"That's as clean as a cat's whiskers!"

PHIL: "What's 'magic water bottle' in Turkish?"
RAY: "I think it's 'magic water bottle.'"

"They'll want him back for Wednesday, so it'll be straight into the hot tub for him."

"Sergio Ramos steers it across with his thigh ... I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but who gives a damn?"

Good AJ...Also, in the Germany-Liectenstien game Beck gets substituted and Ray says ,"I`s back to his club fotball now for Beck. His Team is FC HARD (long pause)... I can say no more."

Cue beer thru my nose !
