Yes I'm sure he was. Also probably saying to himself "Yeah, coming back from behind when everyone thought a team was well beaten in a CL final, no other English club has done that in ages..."

I hope your not going on about the 1999 final because that was nowhere close to matching Istanbul in any stretch of your imagination. ''Well beaten'' at 1-0?

I support Arsenal.
Man United's comeback beats Liverpool's by a country mile. However good Liverpool's was, they actually drew the match and won on penalties. Meh.
Oh, and Man United's sycophantic fans are slightly less annoying than Liverpool's.

You 'hope'?! Does that scare you?!
I understand anyone suggesting I'm biased but 1999 had a hell of a lot more drama than the Liverpool final. Yes 'well beated' because up until the 89th minute we had no way through to Bayern. They absorbed everything we threw at them, until THAT corner...
Don't get me wrong, on a sporting level I'll agree Liverpool's final was exciting but I think most sensible people will agree that United's final had that little bit more.

I just like good football. But i seen Man Utd's game, because there seemed to be a chance (only 1 down). Whilst Liverpool, I think I switched off at half time...but no doubt would have been excited if I'd watched it live

Re: Football Season 2011/12
The Man City Sergio Aguero deal has been completed, he's signed a 5 year contract.. I think he'll play really well with Silva feeding him balls

Yes Aguero is a player l have watched a lot on Sky's spanish footballl and he is a very talented player and in my mind he is better then Tevez.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
He's more of a front man than Tevez.. Tevez though is a better all rounder..
My worry though is if he can make the change in style from Spanish to English football

This I do not like. I now take City seriously as a top-3 finish club.

Well we did it last year...
City though need to prove that they won't do their usual and self destruct for the middle of the season as they do normally start and finish well.
So who's the top three Russ... City, Chelsea and Arsenal?? 
---------- Post added at 19:18 ---------- Previous post was at 19:09 ----------
Talking of Arsenal I wonder if the talk of Fabregas and Nasri going is true and how they'll cope losing two such play makers..
