...and a choke-off it is... :shh

Don't know who to cheer for - hate the Red Shytes but as a life-long Hamster don't really want to see the Yids win either... :shh :shh

All English finals in the both the CL and Europa.

As for choking - Ajax was worst. 3-0 up on aggregate in the second half at home then cough up 3 goals with the last coming in the final minute. What was with the Ajax defender kicking the ball away from his own goalie who was about to grab the ball on the ground that lead to Spurs second goal?!  :huh

There have been some crazy games in the past week (last night's A-League semi-final was no different) so it won't be surprising if the CL final is as well. Liverpool is the better side and should win but I can see Spurs pinching this as they seem to choke more when they are the favourite and win when they are the underdog.

Man City thumped Brighton 4-1 to win the premiership.

The Scousers had a chance to put one hand on the trophy last night and knock out Man City but blew it. Wonder if that loss will come back to bite them.
That one and only loss all season cost Liverpool the title. Ouch!

Man Utd fans at Old Trafford cheering City's goals while losing to relegated Cardiff. How the mighty have fallen!

Bolton are in financial trouble and had 10 points stripped from them as a result. Another club that tried to borrow their way to the premier league and it's sent them down the financial tube. They are going to be forced to the lower (cheaper to run) divisions to sort out the mess they are in.
