I look forward to next years contribution. I'd like more innuendo though.


Pelvic thrusting is your job!

I'll contribute next year, if someone organizes a pool for the European cup ;)

*pelvic thrusts* I still got the magic! ;)

Hhmmm perhaps the pool won't work as well if our South American participants aren't as interested. We should rename a team Brazil in order to fool Rage into organising it.

*Heh*

Good game overall methinks. Shame Man Utd couldn't have done more, but they were certainly frustrated during the last quarter or so of the match. It did seem that most decisions went Barcelona's way during that time. Will wonder what a certain manager would think of that...

Damn. This victory is no glory, after all. How can the champion league corrupt like it? Why we don't see a fair decision of the referee in each match Barcelona present? Aww, I won't pay any coin for watching C1 anymore when Platini still leads UEFA. Today C1 is totally suck!!!

I wouldn't say its corrupt. Just highly suspect at times, but what competition isn't? No team is ever going to win without some dodgy decisions.

This is not the first time I saw this and I'm gruesomely disappointed. I know that with some tolerance we can forgive Barcelona but this is not the first time I saw such a deception thing like that, and I'm sure that I can no longer forgive such a shame thing anymore. That's too damn much for me.

Guardiola is lucky to be managing such an outstanding collection of fine footballers. Congrats Barça on the glory and the trophy.

Also a round of applause for van der Sar. Truly a legendary GK signing off.

What in the name of Pelé (The God of Football) are you guys talking about?
Utd. had a goal validated when the play had a clear offside participant. Valencia or whatever his name, deserved some 3 yellow cards on the first half and got none. Daniel Alves got one on his first foul! The ref did a good job even with Utd goal because it was a close call to the assistant and in doubt, pro attack.

And Barca plays something wonderful. If the score had been 6x1 it would be fair as much as 3x1!

Well, you could have a nice squad with the Brazilian Boys that are playing in Europe these days, couldn't you? Although I don't know most of them. They are leaving Brazil too soon, under aged and without showing us here what they can do. Who is that Fabio guy? heh

Hasn't Fabio played for Brazil? I think his brother Raphael might have played. Both are excellent prospects, bags of pace and skill, good going forward and defending. Fabio can play in both fullback positions and on either wing. They just need to learn to calm down for alot of the time they are a red card waiting to happen. Fabio is a bit injury prone too.

    I agree.  I thought the ref did a very good job compared to alot games i've seen them screw up. 

   Barca is the better squad and certinaly proved it on this day.

Anyone watched the game Germany-Uruguay? Must have been a lot of fun regarding that it was only a test game.

Apart from that: Yep, congrats to Barcelona. They deserved the trophy.

It looks like Wales got some bragging rights after all now that Swansea is promoted to the Premier League.

And Dave Jones gets sacked for not gaining promotion. A touch harsh if you ask me.

Oh...and the FIFA thing is...also rumbling on.

Did anyone see the FIFA press conference? Its all got a bit mental.

Bellamy has been made 5/1 favourite for the Cardiff job. Which strikes me as not the wisest of moves.

Bellamy? Hm...certainly didn't see that coming. Be interesting to see what a half time talk by him would be like; not that we'd ever find out.

In that scenario I can think of other sporting equipment that could also...er...'do a job' so to speak.

Oh, and with the season over...let the transfer shenanigans begin.

The end of Sepp Blatter ...
It is a bit too late, but screw Barcelona! Fortunately I was playing with my laptop, in front of the match in second half ;)

I'm not sure I want to know what you were doing on your laptop that it required that wink at the end...

Transfer shenanigans have begun OBaka, it looks like this summers long drawn out transfers will be Modric from Spurs possibly to United, Berbatov to Spurs or Newcastle, Ashley Young to Liverpool or United(why?!), Fabregas to Barca, Baines to Man City and Bale to anyone with alot of money.

Paul Scholes has retired. My initial reaction was thank god, he can go out a legend instead of tarnishing his reputation like he has been doing for alot of this season. My second reaction was that the best player England have produced in decades has just retired and we will never get to see him ping pinpoint passes around the pitch ever again.

Scholes has had a decent career. Definitely one the best players for England in many a year. Odd that he got sidelined by the all-conquering duo of Gerrard and Lampard (what a fruitful partnership they have had). Mind you, I guess that international goal drought probably didn't do well for him.

Fabregas: we seem to get that every year for...how many years now? I do recall that some Barcelona official (probably an ex-President) was so miffed with him going to Arsenal that he stated that Fabregas will never be allowed back. (Or is it just one of my infamous hazy memories again?)

I think I read somewhere that the Berbatov and Modric thing might be some sort of swap deal. How would Berbatov fare in that Tottenham side now? He wasn't in the best of form when he left.

Well Berbatov finished the season as top scorer so if we were swapping him he would be worth more under those circumstances. To be honest I don't think we will get rid of him. He is a very different option that we just won't get with our youngsters.

Norwich have apparently made a second bid for some striker, Morisson or something. I saw it earlier.

Not sure on that Fabregas thing, it could well be your memory again but it does sound rather plausible.

well, did anyone see the women's champion league final? .....cause it was pretty good (just saw it today). potsdam v lyon at craven cottage. potsdam were well organized and had clear chances, but did not capitalize. did not get to see lyon's first goal, but the second was very nice (fantastic cross). Bajramaj, no. 10 on potsdam was also very very good. a natural leader. also, what is sooooo nice about women's football is the lack of fouls and play acting. there was an incident where Bajramaj got pushed from behind and looked to the ref for the foul and did not get it. i remember thinking, had she thrown herself, she would have gotten it. just pure football.

men's champions league final...well, thoughts on that these next couple of days, but it was a very enjoyable match to watch. (you blinked and it was the half already)

the women's world cup kicks off in a month, and copa america just 5 days after, so no worries, there will be some good international football this summer.

Sounds like it would be a busy summer of footy. Probably miss most of it though....

I've heard that Norwich has had a few bids being rejected. Probably the same case/player you're referring to, Druss.

Hm...Berbatov. You think the final could have been different if he had got to start the match? Or did Man Utd need the energy to hassle their players?
