I don't support either team, but I wanted Man Utd to win.
I have a degree of sympathy for Grant who will get sacked for doing a great job. In my opinion,Drogba got himself sent off on purpose to avoid taking a penalty. Didn't like all the players surrounding the referee constantly, however, in hindsight added to a wonderful game of football.
I thought at the end that Platini was going to lift the trophy himself.
Agree about Ronaldo, however, his penalty was a touch of showboating, if he is not World Player of the Year for 2008 then their is no justice. |

It was a fairly good game all round, even though several of the players seemed to be struggling to last the distance. The fairest result would have been a draw, but that's not possible in a major cup final. So .. it went to penalties and the Chelsea captain missed the target. No shame in the keeper saving your attempt, but to miss the target is a disgrace. Pressure? He's paid thousands per week to handle such pressure. No excuses. It was a bad miss and cost the trophy.
Drogba wasn't unlucky to be sent off. Once he raised his hand, no matter how feeble the slap was, the ref was bound by the rules to give him a red. Drogba knew the rules. Again, no excuses.
Congratulations to Manchester United. I wanted Chelsea to win, but that's the way the game goes.
So much for my prediction. I don't think Shevchenko was even on the bench. |

Well a fantastic game and a fantastic shoot out - how awful it would have been if Man U had lost because Ronaldo missed!
Well, a cracking final.
I reckon both sides won. |
