Well what a night and what a great result for the great Manchester United. I must admit that this was a much better final than I thought it was going to be, but being a Man U fan I do believe that the best side won but I am sure most people would expect me to say that. After the first 30 minutes we should have been 3 up and the game should have been out of reach but thats just not how Man U do it, as Fergie often says we do it the hard way. Well Chelsea got the equalizer just before the break and then they went on to play well in the second half but i never felt that they would go on and win. Man U were again the better team in Extra Time and Gigg’s could have won it. As for the trouble well Tevez had every right to kick the all out of play, Chelsea them self’s did this a number of times during the game, they just don’t like it when others do to them what they do to others. When it the dust settles I was so happy to see Drogba get the red card and yes he deserved it not only for the slap in the face but also for every time that he gestured for somebody else to get a card, so good bye Drogba.

So on to penalties oh and how nervous was I and at 2-2 I just knew Ronaldo would miss his penalty when will he learn just to run up to a ball and hit it with out the stopping half way up, which by the way I believe is illegal. So it all comes down to John Terry and was I happy that he missed now maybe he will keep him mouth shut in the run up to the big games. At least the next time he is shouting his mouth off I can remember him crying in Moscow. I guess Rio can stay as the England captain.

Well a great night in Moscow for all Man U fans, I just hope when I wake up in the morning we are still talking about the football and not things off the pitch.

Congratulations to Sir Alex and all at Manchester United!!!!

Last episode of the season from the special one

Another great show from the special one

Its Fantastic!!!

So the English FA have today set out the goals for English football. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7386163.stm

So am I missing something or are we just going back in time? England has some of the best player’s in the world or so we are lead to believe. After the embarrassment of Steve McClaren the FA has gone out and got what they are saying as the best manager in the world, I am sure they are paying him a hell of a lot of money as well to do the job.

So what is the target for the next 4 years a Semi Final, are they having a laugh or what. Surely if you are bringing in the best and you have some of the best talent in the world you would maybe want to win a trophy or at least make it to a final.

Is this not the same target that we herd Sven say he would achieve? Is that what England has become just a semi final team at best? So if in 4 years Fabio walks away from England having taken them to a semi final he will feel job done, I know I wont think that as an England supporter. I would like to see my team in a final and maybe winning a trophy. Its only 2 years since the last world cup were England were one of the favorites and now they are a semi final team at best.

I believe on this report it is time for changes at the top. I think we need a winning mentality at the top of English football not just people who will be happy with a semi final. The only time England won a World Cup Sir Alf Ramsey said before the competition we are going to win, not we will make the semi finals.

What sort of message is this sending to the plays and the manager. Its time we told them we expect a Trophy in the next 4 years and then maybe they we start performing for England.
