CL Final

Two English teams in the CL final and I could hardly be less excited. TV footage of both sets of fans in Porto rekindles my complete embarrassment at the demeanour of English fans abroad. OK no fights yet but their loud and loutishness is obvious for all to see. Should Chelsea lose I can see trouble. That said, I rather hope they do.

"English teams" ? With only 6 of the players who could play for England out of 22 on the pitch , 2 overseas managers and overseas owners , "English " is stretching the truth slightly.

I was going to mention that but I couldn't be bothered to find the correct number. So just over 25% English, the battle of two sides where money is no object to either.

It would be nice if it was an exciting, open game but too many of these occasions are anti-climaxes.

Curiously as a child, I knew I would never be able to play for Manchester United, because I lived in Chertsey not Manchester. Being quite a literal child, I imagined just as all the Chertsey FC players lived in Chertsey, Manchester United FC players would obviously already live in Manchester.

How wrong could I have been!
