I would like to see an Englishman win five European Cups during his career, let alone have five teeth remaining in his mouth afterwards..

Well, I have this conclusion...
another CL gone by. I almost blinked and missed it all.
For all the people who whined and complained when the 2004 Final was Mourinho's Porto vs. Deschamps' Monaco and how that "cheapened" the level of competition in the tournament... here we had two also-rans who placed no better than third in their domestic leagues this season and, well, last season as well. One who got a priviledged back door qualification entry this season due to some funny paper filing timings around Chievo and calciopoli. The other who got a priviledged back door qualification entry the prior season for finishing a pathetic fifth in their domestic league, but had enough fans with money and influence to get their whining heard.
On the pitch they played a generally dull match. And in the end, I came away feeling like I just watched the Coppa Italia final.
Is this what the best European football has to offer has come down to? Forget sour grapes in Juve's inability to qualify. The grandeur that this competition should have been practically failed to deliver on every level.
Give me back Mourinho vs. Deschamps anyday...

the great pity is the best game in the competition was manure v milan first leg in the semi's. other than that i cant really pick out many highlights from this season, maybe i am just jaded as there was no Juve but for me this was as poor a Cl campaign in many years.
roll on Platini's change and restrictions of teams entering, this is what this competition really needs
Not really I kind of figured we would lose if we didn't score first. I was mostly disappointed at us not being able to take advantage of a mediocre Milan performance (for the part of the game that I saw). Oh and Andy pissed me off because his hair is like gayman and his words are like the Mississippi.
