I can't beleive how much shit Martin Tyldsely or whatever his name is talked, saying they were the better team and there was no way we were going to hold out. We were the better team 11 v 11 and had the better of the chances 11 v 10, not to mention their goals were a bit lucky, especially the 2nd, going in off the keeper.

All this hype about them being the best team in europe, but they weren't that great, they have one great player like us, 2 top players in Eto'o and Giuly and the rest were nothing special going off tonight, their keeper made some good saves, but nothing spectacular...

And going on about Celtic would lose out if we won for ages as if we give a shit and how mad they'd go if that cunt Larsson scored the winner.

I feel sorry for Bergkamp, Pires and Reyes, having your keeper sent off is the worst thing that can happen, especially in a final because then 2 players have to miss the rest of the game since no-one else on the pitch can fill in. It was hard on Pires and it would have been fitting for Dennis to get a winners medal and he didn't get to play.

Reyes didn't get to play much which is a shame since he played most of the other games, but then the same goes for Flamini and Senderos. The annoying thing is no-one's won the final after losing it the year before, though there's a first time for everything and you're left with 'what-if's, like if Fabregas hadn't been taken off or Lehmann hadn't been sent off.

You have to look forward though. But even if all those players left Casualty, the only player we'd really miss is Henry, Cole and Bergkamp hardly played in the CL and Pires didn't play that much and is getting old. We've got some of the best young players in the world in Fabregas, Toure, Eboue and I'm pretty sure, Walcott, not to mention Flamini.

Be very interesting to see what happens this summer, but even if Henry left I wouldn't be too downbeat about our future, Fabregas has already looked the better player at times this season and if we can get the right balance between technique and the more physical side we'll be looking good on all fronts.
