The last three teams left in the European Cup are Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. How unutterably horrible. This may be the first European Cup final ever that I actively don't want to watch.
I guess I want Liverpool to win, as the third most hateful club left. I used to quite like them but I've gradually grown to despise their sterile, lacklustre football and their wanker of a manager.
All of Chelsea's achievements are utterly discredited while they are relying on Abramovich's dirty billions. But nonetheless, the thought of the likes of John Terry and Ashley Cole lifting the European Cup is too horrific to contemplate. The one plus point is that it would be faintly hilarious to see the modest, seemingly inept, and actually quite likeable, Avram Grant achieve what Jose Mourinho desperately craved to achieve but never could.
Manchester United's redeeming feature is that they play by far the best football of the three. But no one with an ounce of soul would ever wish them any success whatsoever. Plus their manager is the biggest cunt of them all.
I can see a certain black humour in Liverpool winning a torpid final 1-0 (Kuyt, 3) with a desperate backs-to-the-wall defensive performance. But that's about as good as it gets.
The European Cup wasn't supposed to be like this.
