Fecking hell, Sammy. After this and the 2005 Champions League thread you started, I hereby nominate you for Huyton's "We're gonna win the league" thread next year.

C'mon people, don't make me go all 4pool with a solo match thread... Anyway, at present Sunderland are 2 up, as are West Brom, Stoke and Southampton are both losing 1-0 Preston are 0-0 with Birmingham and Wolves are 1-1 with Leicester. Upshot is that at present Sunderland are Champions and Stoke and Preston miss out on playoffs. You can all get fecked anyway, cos I'm off to prepare for the obligatory Bank Holiday Sunday all dayer. So you'll never know who gets promoted now...

THE RACE FOR THE PREMIERSHIP* Has just kicked off And Nugent's just hit the post for Preston against Brum after 5 minutes. Leicester 1 up against Leicester which apparently puts them in the play offs and Preston not. Although there's still 85 minutes left in all the games, so "how it stands now" isn't really too useful at this stage. *copyright Sky

What's that about?

Not a bad article, but there's not enough mentioning of us for my liking. Really rub it in, like. And the way it's termed, it could just as easily be Liverpool in their 7th final and Milan have been in 9, which is a far less gap than

It was clearly the glams' fault that Everton decided to play their third fecking choice keeper as well and ignore Richard Wright

Ignoring the , Shankly's legend isn't based solely on trophies won, as you well know, but on the club he built which cast the shadow over so many other teams. Other managers won more, but it didn't make them better managers.

I fecking missed it What's with Citeh's Burberry-themed pitch? Just heard a blast of "Champions League, you're having a laugh". I forgot all about that song.

In fairness, at the start of the season I probably would have preferred to win the league. But if we'd done it and the Glams were in the European Cup Final I'm certain I'd feel pretty pissed off and overshadowed. I'd probably resort to denial and petty sniping... Ah.

(Always wanted to use that)

The other fans didn't agree

I'm a FCH with 6 credits (and the qualifier) and I can't think that anyone could begrudge a STH getting greater priority. Demand was always going to outstrip supply, and I don't get why they didn't go further back with the loyalty. The fancard was introduced to reward loyalty more accurately, but does one season really show that you're loyal? In the 2005 run Euro tickets were a piece of piss to get (relatively), but since they've been a fecking nightmare as more people decided they wanted to go. You'd like to think that they'd given some thought to how the tickets were allocated, but it really doesn't seem that they have

Liverpool 4-0 Man U I just about remember this game. Absolute beauty. We need a modern day Peter Beardsley. Presently 1-0. Commentator's just been going on about Liverpool rotating players! Why's Barnes getting booed by the Glams? I'm assuming it's not cos he's black cos they had Ince playing. Was it just cos he was fecking mint?

It'd be fecking ace if they went and won 9-0 on Sunday and could have stayed up if it wasn't for the 10 points.

It was on at 8am this morning as well. It'll be on again - just go to the Sky planner, do an A-Z search for sport, then press red for football and look for UEFA Champions League and it'll give you when it's on over the next 24 or 48 hours or something. And don't say I never do anything for you.

Have they booked the "get off the stage" fella yet? If they have then I'm there with or without ticket

As far as I remember in 2005 it was season ticket holders with all the homes (including the qualifier) plus one away (total 8 games) Then fan card members with the same Then season ticket holders with 7 Then fan card holders with 7 and so on But this season (so far) the qualifier hasn't counted for any loyalty, so there may be only 6 games. Plus if you remember Monaco in 2005, the ticket office fecked up so the ground was only half empty, taking out a lot of people who may otherwise have had all the home games. To conclude, I'm concerned about my chances.

Sky are strongly pushing the we're-only-in-the-final-cos-we're-s***-in-the-league line

If Milan win then the final will be one team going for their 6th European Cup against another team going for their 7th. Don't you think that we should let one of the small teams get a go?

Does anyone know what the Chelsea fans think about them flags? You'd hope that they'd be proper embarrassed, but enough of the f*****s seem happy enough to wave them

I had to ask the fellas behind me if Kuyt's was the deciding penalty or not. Couldn't for the life of me work it out. Mind you, I had been drinking since 1.

I remember an interview with Rafa where they asked him if he could pick any of his players to take a high pressure penalty who would it be and he said Robbie.
