Personal biases aside:

Good game of football and United did what they had to do. Tevez was head and shoulders over all the reds (somebody say Stelios wasn't strong enough or big enough for the premiership, Deco, Messi (more meat on a lolly stick,) Puyol, the young kid Bojan?). Messi is a frightening talent and Deco was all over the park. Nice to see Eidur if only for a few minutes. Terrific level of fitness shown all round. If Barcelona didn't persist in trying to walk it in they might have done better. Could have enjoyed it much more if I didn't work right in the heart of Manchester. I'll have it all bloody day tomorrow.

Just thinking, fan deaths caused by a United-Liverpool final could cause English clubs to be banned from Europe for a few years. Tragedy aside it'd have very strange effects on the league.

Won't happen, too much money in the game these days.

Interesting thought though, Athers.

I've heard from well-placed sources that UEFA were definitely worried about the fringe possibilities of a Rags-Pool final in Greece last year. Haven't heard such worries about this year.

That's because the NKVD and Spetsnaz will machine-gun the nice people.

I see what you're saying and it's probably right but I can't help but think UEFA don't particularly like all this English domination of their flagship competition. Gaillard (sp?) especially don't like Liverpool for instance, they'd be knackered if they were to be banned from the CL more than anyone 'n' all.

I'm going for a Chelsea/ United final (sorry blurred)

I'd like to see the looks on the Mancs faces when they realise Comrade Abramovitch has booked all the Hotels in Moscow (allegedly) for the Fianl.

Me too be really ace if he had contacts in the security service who held up the Mancs at the border till the game finished! then they found out Chelski had won

The right result on the night.

Chelsea deserved it.

What was the Spanish clown doing taking off Torres and not bringing on a striker?

Taxi for Benitez, your time is up.

Funny you should say that. I was talking to a Manc tonight and he can't get a hotel. He's looking at hostels now.

Just remember, no matter how bad thing get; no matter how desparate things may seam; no matter how much you think you simply cannot sink any lower.

Just repeat this five times to yourself:

"I AM NOT JOHN ARNE RIISE"

"I AM NOT JOHN ARNE RIISE"

"I AM NOT JOHN ARNE RIISE"

"I AM NOT JOHN ARNE RIISE"

"I AM NOT JOHN ARNE RIISE"

There are very few hotel rooms in Moscow at the best of times, Warty. HTF it got the vote for the final is beyond belief. I was listening to the radio on the way home and there were plenty on there bleating on about the price of their trips. If they think that that's dear then just wait 'til they get there. Moscow is now even more expensive (to some tune) than Copenhagen and Oslo.

Poor mancs. I'm gutted for them.

Keveh, we need a sarcasm smiley.

Babel is a striker, and pacy too, but he's no Torres. Benitez claims Torres had hamstring trouble, but it didn't seem like it...

Unless the guy physically couldn't stand, you'd play him until his leg fell off surely? All he had to do was hobble around the 6 yard box for 10 minutes.
