    It was 20 years ago today...

    YouTube - Anfield 89

    A shame I'm just too young to remember it really (aside from my Dad picking me up and throwing me into the air when we scored - and catching me thankfully!) but I still get a stupid big grin when I see that goal.

    It's also 10 years ago today since Man Utd won some game in Barcelona, but that's not so important!

    Well done to Burnley, Premiership-bound next season. And there's a match on in Rome tomorrow, sounds like it could be good.

    Any Tooners gonna be coming down Swansea next season? We can discuss the finer points of correct executive management and Dennis Wise over an alcoholic beverage in Wetherspoons.

    Come on Barcelona and Everton this week! I'm more in hope than expectation here, especially for the latter.

    Well, Barca have won. I only hope my own team have a similar match to (what I gather) Barcelona had this evening. I'd give anything for the FA Cup.

    Gutted, not particularly about the result, but just how we played. We were terrible. I've never seen the likes of Giggs, Park, & Carrick play as bad as I've seen tonight. Berbatov being sent on was an error as he's been out of confidence since January. I think the only players that bothered throughout the whole match was Ronaldo, Tevez (when he came on), and Van Der Sar. I'm just really disapointed with the team. After the first goal went in we were a tactical mess and we couldn't get a hold of the ball. I know what the circumstances were when we conceded early, our game plan being interupted & chasing the game, but It would have been nice to see us not making so many blatent mistakes. The last time we played like that was against Milan away in 07'.

    But rants aside I feel the better team won regardless, so congrats to Barca.

    Man Utd are excellent and have had an excellent season, but they just ran into a team at the top of their game tonight, and picked a bad night to have a below-par performance themselves.

    I think this Barcelona tonight though may get bracketed with Milan in 1994, Real Madrid in 1960 and Ajax in 1972/1973 in terms of great European Cup final team performances.

    If only we had a player who could operate in central midfield and chase a ball, we might have done better. I'm not saying if Fletcher played we would have won, but we would have looked a hell of a lot more respectable than that. We shut up shop after the first goal - someone should have told the players that you're only supposed to do that sort of thing if you score the goal. =| But yeah, outplayed and we didn't deserve to win.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Everton seem to fulfil all the goals I set them every season. Considering the only goal I ever have is a hangover from the pre-David Moyes era. "Don't get relegated."

    I laughed quite a bit at that. It's a real shame as I'd genuinely like Barry to have come to us if there was ever a chance of that. Oh Man City, when will you learn?

    Congrats to Moyes as well winning LMA Manager of the Year for a record third season. I think perhaps Hodgson deserved better, but I think yet again Moyes has had a great season.

    Disappointed by the result on Saturday. Chelsea deserved to win and they were the better team. I just wish we had won because I think we deserve a trophy for how well we've played the last three or four years. We had a much tougher route to the final than Chelsea (who only played one Premiership team en route to the final, compared to Everton beating Liverpool, Man Utd, Boro and Aston Villa). I guess that's the gulf between the two teams in terms of money. I don't think the referee was fantastic and felt that booking on Hibbert was harsh, but I think the final really showed just how weak a link he is in our defence. I think on the day if we'd had Arteta, Yakubu and Jagielka than perhaps we might've won. I'm gutted, of course I am, but not entirely surprised. I just wish it were the case that we could compete with a ridiculously wealthy club like Chelsea because I think some of our players genuinely deserve a taste of success for a change and unfortunately I don't think 5th place and hitting our heads on the glass ceiling is really what some of them deserve, in spite of how good being 'best of the rest' is.

    There's always next year, I guess.

    Gareth Barry is a sellout, who'd have thought it?
