I certainly pick the matches. I decided that I needed to have a nice long cleansing shower which invariably cut into the match time. I then scared myself into not leaving with the fear that Milan would score while I was on the tram. With the game looking like heading towards extra-time, I started dressing up, if I left right at full time, I would get to Paddy’s in time for extra time.. One sock was half on, when UEFAs live text commentary engine roared to signify someone had scored. I flopped on my bed, and fuck me, it was Cesc. Yessss, i roared, a primal scream erupting from the depths of my person. And when Adebayor put the icing on the cake, well I was in heaven.
Milan will need some changes in the future for their creaking side and are looking at Drogba to spearhead their attack next season. Apparently. Spare a thought for Paolo Maldini. The greatest left-back ever was an inspirational figure in his last ever game in Europe (unless he plays again next season). He rolled back the years and was totally deserving of all the plaudits.
A word of warning amidst all the euphoria, 13 years ago, Ajax beat Milan comprehensively on their way to beating them again in the final. Less than a year later that team had been dissolved, dismantled by players moving for peanuts. Granted, the Bosman ruling had something to do with it and Arsenal are for the most part protected apart from Flamini, but there are echoes with the Ajax players who wanted more money and the Flamini contract saga. Sort it out soon guys, or we risk losing our better players like Ajax did with their golden generation.
