It was an amusing final to say at least. But at the end, I'm so sorry for Chelsea. This should have been won by them. The referees in this match just egregiously!! Poor Joe Cole, he was mentally attacked by the linesmans filthily judgments. And the tackle on Malouda could have been easily seen as a penalty. All in all, Chelsea deserved to win.
I'm positive that Grant will stay. As for the comparison to Mou - Jose is clearly the bigger name and star, and he really is a better coach in all. But, Grant did lead the team to the final, which Mou did not achieved. That is a fact.
And after this final Avram deserves praise. He showed he's a good coach too. He won the tacticall battle against Ferguson. Only the Cole-Anelka sub was a mistake. It should have been Andrij instead.

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ May 21 2008, 11:43 PM) My uncle's a United fan and admitted the ref was terrible, gave everything Uniteds way. Worst players for me were Tevez and Essien. Ronaldo went passed Michael way too easily all the time, and I can't even remember seeing Tevez, other than his un-sporting way of giving the ball back to United. Terry spit on him? Never saw that myself, I'm sure the player he spit on would have reacted quite a bit if that were the case! Tevez didn't play well but he was one of the best for united (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) He was the only one running up front and his off the ball cause a lot of trouble for Chelsea. I'm quite sure Terry spit on him, right before Tevez got the yellow (after Drogba sending off). Terry made it look like he was going to blow his nose and spit on Tevez, not sure if he got him though. Or maybe I was hallucinating (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

QUOTE (morgoth @ May 21 2008, 11:58 PM) I don't agree with you, he didn't win any battle at all, actually he did nothing at all, and he tried to do something he screwed up. He deserves nothing at all! O yeah? Well, he pulled down Joe Cole and helped shut down Ronaldo. The minute he made that Anelka-Cole sub, the left side opened again and Evra made that deadly attack. Other then that, he did manage to motivate the team in half time. Chelsea played clearly better and this due to his tacticall changes, in which he sacrificed Drogba in order to get more space for Malouda and Cole, plus eventually either Lampard or Essiene. IMO he did everything right and in a good timing. Only mistake is that the first sub should have come 10-15 minutes earlier. He behaved rational and calm. Ferguson on the other hand should be punished with sever mesures. Did you see him speaking to the ref in half time? He put him under pressure, he yelled at him...I don't know. This was the worst referee team in years for a final. I started as a neutral watcher. The ref's turned me into a Chelsea supporter.

(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) As for the behaviour it's just his usual, he's always like that whether he wins or loses. But I do agree about Ferguson, he was a bit nervous, don't know why though! And the ref. was (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

QUOTE Once again he cracked under pressure. he really took it poorly and he should be thankful to JT. it could have been a nightmare for him. You know, I really dislike CR and I'd be glad to say he cracked but...he scored the leading goal. He was excellent. Only Grant's move in half-time stopped him. And the penalty...well, he didn't crack. He was way over confident. Arrogant.
