May 1, 200718 yr While from a footballing point of view they have played some fantastic football this season & richly deserve to win the League Title & will hopefully annilate Chelsea in the FA Cup Final. Seriously, if Manchester Utd do get through to The Final tomorrow. The please hope UEFA show a large degree of common sense and switch the Final from Athens with the hosts of the 2009 European Cup Final = Wembley Stadium.
May 2, 200718 yr Well its Liverpool vs. someone... Hopefuly MANNCHESTER UNITED!!! It's gonna be all england final in Athena.... And it would be great if Man.Utd. won....
May 2, 200718 yr Go Liverpool! Glad they won last night. Not sure who the other finalist will be, looks like it could either way with Milan being at home.
May 2, 200718 yr The crash wreckage has been found of a helicopter that was carrying an honorary vice president of Chelsea FC from last night's Champions League clash against Liverpool. The Twin Squirrel helicopter was ferrying businessman Phillip Carter home when it disappeared from radar screens. Mr Carter, 44, is worth £92m and is Britain's 770th wealthiest person, according to The Sunday Times Rich List. The helicopter, carrying four people, left John Lennon Airport in Liverpool last night and was heading to a private landing site near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, when it vanished. The wreckage was found in woodland near Wansford, Cambridgeshire, not far from Mr Carter's home in Thornhaugh. The pilot was named as Stephen Holdich, co-owner of operating company Atlas Helicopters. Another passenger was named as Jonathan Waller. His mother Shirely said rescuers had told her the chopper had been found intact. Chelsea, who lost the semi-final match on penalties, have eight honorary vice presidents. Earlier reports suggested officials from the club may have been on board. Mr Carter is the founder of fast-growing training company Carter & Carter. Faye Adkin, who works from the company, said the helicopter was carrying Mr Carter, the pilot and two other passengers when it went missing. :: Chelsea's vice-chairman Matthew Harding and four other men were killed in October 1996 as they returned from a Bolton Wanderers match. They had been travelling on a Twin Squirrel helicopter, which plummeted to earth in farmland near Middlewich, Cheshire, following a Coca Cola Cup tie. An inquest jury returned verdicts of accidental death after hearing that the pilot might have become disorientated flying at night with no autopilot, while trying to map-read and talk to air traffic control.

Heard about this, and as Peterborough is about 15 minutes away from me, i'm hearing quite a lot about it on the local news.
May 2, 200718 yr On the other hand, I think Man U will get through tonight! All they need to progress is a draw!
May 2, 200718 yr Author sad news indeed :( on the other hand if Maldini and Gattuso are missing tonight, I think United will be far more comfortable in getting a result
May 2, 200718 yr http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/6615493.stm Liverpool FC's heroic goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled on Tuesday night as he was helping send the club through to the Champions League final. The 24-year-old Spaniard saved two out of three spot kicks in a penalty shoot-out against Chelsea at Anfield. But he returned from celebrating the win in the early hours of Wednesday to find his home in Woolton, Liverpool, had been ransacked.

Merseyside Police said the burglary happened sometime between 1900 BST on Tuesday and 0045 BST on Wednesday. Officers were called to the address at 0145 BST after Reina discovered the break-in. The goalkeeper, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2005, does not want to comment on the incident. As well as the car, officers said paperwork, jewellery, and a Bang and Olufsen entertainment system were taken. Footballers targeted Reina is the latest in a line of footballers who play in the city to be targeted by burglars, often while they were taking part in matches. The home of his fellow Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek was burgled in June 2006 while he was on holiday in Poland. His Porsche, jewellery and football memorabilia were taken by thieves. Daniel Agger, who scored for Liverpool on Tuesday night, had his home in Wirral burgled in September 2006. In the same month, Reds striker Peter Crouch's house in Alderley Edge was hit by thieves while he was on England duty. Meanwhile, Dutchman Andy Van der Meyde - who plays for Everton - was burgled twice in 2006.
May 2, 200718 yr Has Heinze just made the biggest mistake of his career? I think he may have. Is gonna be extremley difficult now for Man Utd to get back...
May 2, 200718 yr 2-0 to AC Milan. There is only one side playing Football in this first half. Kaka is proving that he not Christiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world at the moment. Man Utd need two goals & a lot of inspiration from somewhere.
May 2, 200718 yr Author a defensive shambles, no teeth up front :( even Watford would have been 2-0 up against a performance like this
May 2, 200718 yr Fair play to Milan they played us off the pitch for 90 minutes solid, which is something no other side has acomplished this season. Should be an immense final. Here's hoping Stevie G breaks both Gattuso's legs :)
May 2, 200718 yr Author can I just say if Kaka is the world's best player why does he get cramp after 80 minutes :lol:
May 2, 200718 yr Waheyyy I'm glad about the final I must say. Should make good viewing, though it won't be as exciting as the last one between these two I'm sure. :lol:
May 2, 200718 yr Author the most annoying thing is Milan shouldn't even be in this season's competition :angry:
May 3, 200718 yr the most annoying thing is Milan shouldn't even be in this season's competition :angry: EXACTLY A European Cup Final is SOME GOOD PUNISHMENT for match fixing isn't it?
May 3, 200718 yr Author EXACTLY A European Cup Final is SOME GOOD PUNISHMENT for match fixing isn't it? UEFA terrified they'd be sued, why don't all the clubs knocked out by Milan team up and take legal action ^_^
