Nothing is going my way this year, Arsenal out, Barcelona out:cry:
and on a note of our national league, IFK sucks this year as well
hey, at least Lundqvist is nominated for the Vezina. What's that you say? he's going to lose? you really have no luck with support this year, do you?
Would be great if he won, since he is not only Swede, he is also a Frölunda player ( my towns big club )....but he hasnt been the best this year, so I doubt it

Chelsea are winning 3-1 - they're going to be going to Moscow :cry:
Ended 3-2 after a weird goal. Oh well, seems to be the most deserving winner of this match. I had hoped for Liverpool, because that would destroy Chelsea's morale, meaning worse performances in the league. And because I think Liverpool is an easier competitor than Chelsea is
The best news in several weeks. Bayern München lost 4-0 to Zenit Skt. Petersborg and are out of the UEFA Cup. No more luck for the Germans, it's over .. kaput!
Edit: And I can promise you I will be enjoying the headlines of the German newspapers today and tomorrow
"Bayern-Blamage", "Schwarzer Abend für den FC Bayern München", "0:4-Debakel - Bayern blamiert sich im Halbfinale"... This is great

And if Rangers beat Fiorentina, it could be a final for the minnows of Europe. The Italian press would be even worse than the germans...
Do any of you remember Mário Jardel? the brazillian striker, former Golden Boot?
a few years ago, when he played for Sporting, he suddenly and misteriously tailed off. started playing like crap. Then he went to a bundle of different teams, Bolton, Ancona, etc. Never did anything at all.
Now he's come forth and admitted it all. Women, Gambling, his mother's alcohol problems, his wife leaving him, all led to him starting on cocaine.
He's clean now, and he wants to make a comeback. He's 34 so It's going to be difficult, but if by some miracle he can come back to being even one fifth of what he was, any team in the world would have him.
Most of you never have never seen him play at his peak. Well, I'll just say he was ungodly. In the champions league the top teams in the world would put sometimes three men on him. and he'd still score. He was weak, slow, technically bad. Yet when there was a rebound, he was magically there to unleash his shot. Head, Left Foot, Right Foot, whatever, The accuracy was like nothing I've ever seen.
I have no qualms in saying his movement in the box was the best I've ever seen by any player in my lifetime.
In case anyone's interested, here's a highlights clip. takes me back

Nichts ist für dich
nichts war für dich
nichts bleibt für dich
für immer
or something.

And, right on cue, the token Scot appears to offer condolances to the people of Manchester for the behaviour of the Rangers supporters. In advance.
And what a final we have now! This has got to be the least anticipated final, for the neutral, since the Porto - Monaco Champions League final a few years ago! Edited by stuartmcstuart on 01-05-2008 22:35

Had Fiorentina won it would have been better because of Martin Jørgensen, but now I just don't care. Useless tournament
Martin Jørgensen is a great player, but he was awful tonight! Its only a good competition if someone from your own country is in it, I guess. The Scottish press are going to go mental about this, the Uefa cup will be so much bigger than the Champions League final for them this season. Ah, the goldfish bowl...
Big Phil Scolari has taken over from Eriksson at Man City on £2.5m-a-year deal. I still can't believe Shinawatra sacked Sven And he still instists on trying to buy Kapo for £6million

Goodbye no-talent know-it-all- "I'm never wrong" jackass who had one good run taking advantage of a Porto midfield built by Mourinho.
Now perhaps we'll finally have a national team where players play based on talent and not reputation.
And maybe chickens will fly
Good luck Addy. you'll come to love his "don't question my decisions or I'll walk away from the press conference" attitude . Oh wait, no you won't. you're screwed.

And Peter Schmeichel has confirmed to the BBC that his son, Kasper Schmeichel, will leave Manchester City this summer
didn't know that
Why does everybody start leaving Man City as soon as they start to become recognised He was going to be great as well, next thing I know Sturridge will leave as well
That news really has ruined my day
Hopefully Scolari will stand up to Shinawatra and make his own transfers rather than always going for Kapo and Thai players. If Big Phil manages to get Diego and Jo, then I will warm to him very, very quickly
Jo will cost around £16million and Diego is around £15million I think. As long as he knows the City team and knows that we have no left back, right winger, and no strikers at all, then signs players accordingly, I think he'll go down pretty well (until he starts going on like isso said). We literally have the worst strikeforce in the Premiership, so that needs to be sorted quickly.
