Gutted for you @Accy cyclist. I thought you'd turned it around, but the Wombles brought it back. Hope they win the final.
The Accy game was great until my stream died 5 mins before the end. A shame but I saw nothing to suggest that they can't challenge again next season, Coleman and Accy are meant for each other!
Europa Final?That's what happens when the pressing game (AKA - running around a lot) meets intelligent players! Same fate will await Spurs next season, it's dead end football and Graham Taylor knew that 40 years ago.

An ok game (Europa League Final) to watch - two good goals (one from each team) but far from spell binding.
LFC dominated from 15 - 45 minutes first half but Sevilla had the rest.
LFC were awful second half - looked like they had run out of steam.
Only two more games to go for me - FA Cup Final and CL Cup Final and then into footy rest mode - I don't do international football at all and pre-season frienlies are a bore-fest.

There's a time in most games for pressing football and similarly a time to sit back and let the other team have the possession and wear themselves down.
LFC are trying to press all the time which can be debilitating. I just posted above as to how LFC ran out of steam second half and their continual pressing in the first half must've been a factor.
Spanish domination in the two big European cups this season - as you say, they play intelligent football.
I think we (English football) are going to struggle in the CL next year. MUFC/CFC are obviously out of the running (I'm *issed about the latter as we have been in the top 5 of the co-efficient table for yonks now and next season will see a fall), MCFC are slowly getting there in terms of CL experience although they need a big overhaul under Pep' and that may be a season or so away. Arsenal will do ok but I can't ever see them winning it. Spurs, had a fair run last time they were in but they're no great shakes when the chips are down. Leicester will have a lot to learn and it will be all about gaining experience in their first season 'in'.
Frankly, I don't think we have a cat in hells chance of an English team winning the CL next year.
I know the EPL has been exciting for the obvious reasons this season but overall the standard of football has been less than stellar imo - there's not one team this season you'd look at and be awed by them.

Well we cocked it up! Our real chance went when we fired blanks in our last game at home to Stevenage. Ah well, at least we get to play Blackpool next season.

The bank holiday weekend of play off finals are worth a watch cup finals the lot of them.
I always tour in the sun to coincide with the WC or Euros, it sorts out my nights entertainment. I fly out on the 10th, from then on it's 3 games a day for me in Catalonia.

Done great for such a low budget team compared to our disgrace of a season.Akinfenwa played for us about twelve years ago but only made one appearance.I will never know why we got rid of him.Built like a tank and he's been all over the place and still scoring goals.
In he same club as me accy
2-0 up at half time drew 2-2 then lost on penalties and the next season we were relegated.

I think the low budget bit might change next season. Our new owner Andy Holt(the bloke who owns Wham plastics etc) has poured millions into the club. He paid our million quid debt off. He's paying for a new stand and general redevelopment of the ground. I noticed last night all that scrub land around the ground had been JCB'd for cosmetic reasons making our appearance a lot better.More importantly he's said that our best players won't be leaving like they've done in the past when bigger clubs come after them. He'll pay for new contracts and other stuff. Don't get me wrong he won't throw silly money around but he won't scrimp and save either. The most disappointing thing is the local derbies we'll miss out on. Believe me if all those north west clubs in League 1 were in League 2 then i would've been slightly disappointed to go up if we had! Next season with this fellow's backing and our team intact who knows we might go up automatically.
