Season 25 Week 19 processing...

Ajax against Feyenoord in Holland and maybe a new manager for Will's old team next week, fingers crossed.

The teams entering the European Cup will be the winners of their respective leagues except in the case where that team is managed, then the manager gets to choose the competition.

Yeah good win Etienne were great in this game and so nearly beat you this time round.

Inter have won by a single goal

Napoli and Cagliari is 1 each and into extra time

Lyon 5 Paris 0

Either a demoralising loss for PSG which might affect them in the league game, or they rested a load of players in preparation for the top of the table clash.....

If it wasn't for Lyons early season form, think they'd be ahead of me by now, really hitting form toward the business end of the season. Gonna be a really tough final

Napoli 2 Cagliari 1

so that means it's an Inter Napoli final, really looking forward to that one.

Yeah Ben has made a couple of tweaks to a good side and turned them into a great side, you'll need to watch out for them, esp if they are at full strength, and there arent too many changes between now and the final, but you can never tell with feeder clubs, another exciting game to look forward to.

Of all the teams I've seen lately Arsenal are probably one of the best balanced with the right tactical system for the players he has in their best positions, they just need a bit of experience in europe and a decent wage structure and they can go to the next level.

Was I playing Milan?  I think I was. That's a big result. Very happy. Unfortunately I am playing a very weakened team in the League so expecting a complete pasting.

Milan rivalry pretty strong this season as they look like being League runners up too.  Some very good sides in Italy.

Valerenga against Rosenberg in Norway ( favorites Viking go out after losing 3-2 to Rosenberg )

Yeah some excellent sides in Italy, some only lack a bit of stability from the manager to vastly improve their title prospects.

Gornik against Wisla in Poland

Yeah sorry Paul, as I said had been away. 

Tom - I played my reserves in the Semi-Final in hope that City had an off day. Looks like it didn't pay off but needed the players fresh for the league game - a gamble I know - but needed to take it if have any hope of winning the title. Great win for Lyon though - Nantes will be so tough in the final though.

Napoli have a particularly strong squad, Ancona's galacticos obviously and both Juve and Milan. And Cagliari.

Was worried that might be the case, think you'll still be ok though, despite your assistant manager taking over. At your place, even with fatigue kicking in, you will still Nick it I think.

Some interesting finals. Brazil, France and Italy all have strong sides facing off but England is the most interesting one for me. Arsenal are going to be proper dark horses.

Yeah,  no one will give them a chance, but they do have match winners.

Nothing to lose

Hibs 0 St Johnstone 1 Ronaldinho does it again for me
Celtic 2 Rangers 1

Sevilla 0 Valencia 1 so close yet so far for Marks' rejuvenated side.

Real 1 Barcelona 2 Toure with a late late winner, what a player he is.
