Before tonight, Milan had conceded nine goals in four games; now 12 in five. Hardly the best defensive team in the world. Maldini is 37 next month, Kafu 35 next month, Stam 32 and Nesta a relative spring chicken of 29. Washed up and finished some would day. 318577[/snapback] If their defense is so bad how did they get all the way to the final and how are they second in Serie A

What a match, congrats to Liverpool not only for winnng the Euro cup but for giving us a entertaining match. I see the scousers always nicking things quotes have been mentioned by a couple of board members , must have took you ages to come up with something so original

Great match , whatever was said in the Liverpool dressing room at half time has certainly worked.

I would like to see Preston promoted, it's already been said on here that West Ham fans seem to think they have a devine right to be in the Premiership

It's the European Cup final tonight and Liverpool have the chance to win the trophy for a 5th time and if they do they get to keep it. Many omens point towards a Liverpool win although I think they have been mentioned before on here. Last time they won the Euro cup, There was a new Pope. Prince Charles got married. Ken and Derdrie got married. They beat a team wearing white (Real Madrid) and Milan will wear a white kit in the final. Every time Liverpool have won the cup they have worn red. Despite all the coincedences, it will be a tough game and they will have to push forward rather than defend if they are to win.

Derby 0-0 Preston Preston through to meet West ham in final , Derby missed a pen as well

West Ham have beaten Ipswich 2-0 ( 4-2 on agg)

If Glazer get's to 90% of shares , he gets the other 10% by compulsary purchase so he would have full control of the club.

According to SSN the F.A will not take any further action over the elbow incident with Lauren and Edman, why can I not be surprised, the intent is certainly more visable than the Todd incident.

Let's face it Todd will get a 3 game ban even before he steps foot inside the hearing. The media have made the F.A's mind up.

I'll go for a simple 2-0 win Stead Pedersen Anyone know who the ref is tonight

More problems for Souey, according to SSN police are investigating the Bowyer- Dyer fight and are preparing a file for the C.P.S.

Chelsea and Mourinho in trouble with UEFA again after sending the fitness coach and Mikkeal Forrsell to do the pre match press conference. Aparrently Uefa had asked for Steve Clarke and a big name player to talk to the press, Uefa are not happy but cant punish Chelsea for it.

Usually use 4-4-2 counter attack and offside trap. Iam currentlyat Ipswich in the Championship and they were 21st when I took over and I adopted a Hughes 4-5-1 formation which started grinding out results and I have now moved upto 11th

I missed out on going to the Worthy final so it's good to be getting another chance to watch Rovers at the Millenium Stadium. It will cost me £50 (tickets) plus whatever food and drink cost on day, I work for the railway so I get free travel to Cardiff. I can understand that some fans cant go due to cost and stupid K.O time has also put a lot of people off as well, but for the ones that are making the trip let's get behind the lads and book another trip to Cardiff in May.

It will be a scrappy game with just one goal in it , lets just hope we score it

The Manchester - Cardiff services go via Shrewsbury and Hereford and dont go anywhere near Bristol. I do work for a rail company and weekend travel is an adventure and as Ste B says the cardiff service from Manchester and Crewe are only 2 coach sprinter trains maybe they add more coaches to the services over the cup finals weekend, If I find out anything I will post it.

I have to agree that we never get anything at Old Traffoerd but then again who does, no doubt we will get cheated in some way by either the scum or the ref, btw anyone know who the ref will be

If it's anything like the last time the dingles played down here, none of the pubs around Ewood were allowed to open, I would think the same will happen on Tues

The BBC were reporting that the replay is on March 2nd, can anyone confirm the date please

Friedel- Unlucky with the penalty not really much else to do Neill- Needs to be challenge for the RB spot he just doesn't look good going forward and Hughes should give Nelson a chance. Matteo- We must have a better player to put in the left back position, this guy is not a left back. Todd- Another good solid performance Mokenoa- Worked well in defence Savage- Played well although maybe lacked some fitness Thompson- Not a central midfield player but did his best Emerton- Good in spells and made some good runs Pedersen- Did'nt live upto his previous games but worked hard. Bothroyd- Has to learn to stay on his feet I thought I was watching Heskey tonight , he has the physical presence to cause defenders problems. Gallacher- One of worst performances from him, he was never really in the game. Stead- Lacks so much confidence either put him out on loan or put him in reserves for a few games. Johnson- Did well in a side that couldnt create many chances I hope that in a future match that Bolton end up losing due to a dodgy penalty decision and I will be interested in Big Sams reaction to it. Iam sure he wont come out with the line "all things even themselves out"

A usual tight derby match but I will go for 2-1 Rovers.

3 PTS and Norwich, Palace and Southampton all losing , a good day all round

Amdy Faye off , down to 9

6 mins of time added on , wheres that come from
