F*ck you Channel 5, apart from Graham Taylor, who actually realised there were two teams playing in the tie.

All I've heard from them since the draw and during the games is how average Athletico (sic) Madrid are, and how it shouldn't be a problem for Liverpool, well they've not exactly shown themselves to be any better have they? I wonder if people being highly paid to talk about football might learn how to pronounce the name of one of the teams playing before the final?

You can't win a final on away goals, so congratulations Fulham, teams who are inept in the Champions League shouldn't have a safety net and it would be fitting if they win the thing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the away goals rule is silly and unfair.

We didn't get an extra 30 minutes to score an away goal, although we did score one.

Maybe you should appeal?

I don't like the away goals rule either. I think it's a 5hitty way to go through. But you had the advantage of playing 120 minutes in the decisive match at your stadium.

rlBurnley for Europerl.

Channel 5 does seemingly the impossible, in making ITV look professional at sports coverage.



Aye.

Fulham deserve it, mainly for their attitude towards the competition when other English teams have played kids. They started in the qualifiers and they've got to the final, they deserve to win it, especially with some of the football they have played, and some of the teams they have beat.

Hodgson has got to be up there for Coach of the Year this season.

I didn't think European form affected the manager of the year award? I thought it was purely a premier league/domestic thing. Can't remember what I was watching, might have been SSN, but they said Ancelotti is the favourite.

The official manager of the year, without fail, goes to the manager of the champions.

I do think the LMA have a seperate award where some thought goes into the choice though.

Ah, not too sure. Even so, he's done a decent job this season.

I don't think any of the top managers deserve it this season as none of the top teams have played that well. McLeish should be up there too because Birmingham have had a great season. Depending on when votes are cast, O'Neil might have a chance because until March they had had a good season. Avram Grant could be an outsider, because he's done well in impossible circumstances.

Personally, I'd give it to Benitez, because I think he's done a cracking job. 3.7900390625:10
