Loved it this morning.... Platini asked if he thought that English 'domination' was a good thing...

He goes on to point out that there have been all Italian finals, all Spanish finals, etc.......

Just waiting for someone to hark back to '66 and my preconceptions will have been fulfilled by the English media!!!!

it is pretty good that there were 3 english teams in the last 4 though,

and even rangers seem to do quite well these days, so there must be something up.

For the first time on a long, long time, we had 3 teams in Europe after Hogmanay, my team included... Have to admit, hope Bayern beat Rankers, if they make it, would hate for them to beat the team that put the 'famous Aberdeen' out.....

Given the Russian mafia connections at Chelski, it would take a minor miracle for them to lose in Moscow...watch out Ronaldo when you cross the road!

Should be a good game. Will be very different from the league match last week.

I think we have enough to beat them.

I just hope that CFC walk away with nothing. I suspect you are right though, ManYoo still in the driving seat for the title - they 'only' have to win the next two games and GD decides it.

As for the European Cup, it will be a fascinating game. I'd love the Manx to win it ( always had a soft spot for them since being a kid ), and do the double over Chelsea. I think though they will battle hard for it and push ManU all the way, they certainly have the quality to win it.

I was impressed with Drogba last night,his two strikes were superb finishing. In the past I've always slagged him off,but the boy done well.

I personally think its great that its an all English final and there were 3 teams in the last four. In Ronaldo and Torres,we have two of the most exciting players to watch at the moment.

Its still not as exciting as watching Division Four football though....
