Anyone think it was odd West Ham going up the steps to collect a cup for what was essentially 3rd place?
Looked like the best team lost in the Champions League final.

We're practicing for next year's cup final.
And the best team won the Champion's League final. The best collection of talented individuals lost it...

Going to bed now - been up since 5am yesterday morning and we are well and truly happy. Been watching re-runs all day and the parade of course. Knackered!
After all the effort of the last decade we finally have the biggie. Very, very happy.
Spuds are unhappy and you can understand that but at the end of the day the 4th spot through to the CL is dependant on a team from the PL not winning the CL. They were not 'knocked out', they simply did not qualify by virtue of the fact that there was no spot available. I would also say that the EPL has a 4th place chance because the likes of MUFC and CFC have performed so well in the CL over the last 5 years and dragged the PL co-effecient up. Chelsea still hold the club record for the highest co-efficient in Europe ever - just a little btw comment. Better luck next year Spurs - you had your chance to finish at least second and blew it. I hope you do better next season.
Well done the Hammers too and we'll see you next season. I don't like the play-off system at all. Should be just based on the seasons performance and as you finished 11 points clear of Blackpool it is right that you go up.

What on earth is a co-efficient in Europe? Sorry but I'd much rather have a cup and I believe Liverpool have now won it 5 times.
Still, well done. And congratulations on your first European Cup.

EUFA apply a ranking co-efficient based on the previous 5 seasons of each league eligible to compete in the CL. This is calculated on the performance of the league's teams in the CL over those 5 seasons. This co-efficient determines the number of teams eligible for entry into the CL from any given league.
The EPL is currently ranked highest in Europe. The top three ranked leagues get 4 places in the CL. MUFC and CFC are the chief contributors to the EPL's current high ranking.
Re: Liverpool: a once damn fine team and I loved our epic battles with them 4 or 5 seasons back. Would like to see them get the shot in the arm they deserve and get them back to the top of the game. I am jealous of their 5 Biggies!!!!
I thought it was just what we needed. Resolute defence, missed chances, some great saves, and one man, Drogba, acting as a kind of lightning rod for the entire swirling, flashing, ebbing and flowing mess of a game. And then....di Mattteo. Playing young Bertrand was a stroke of genius. Having Mata stay forward was a stroke of genius. And getting a performance out of Luiz, who, let's face it, was, a bare six months ago considered a liability was a stroke of genius.
I imagine Abramovich has been busy today. Sacking di Matteo, hiring Capello, getting rid of Drogba and Cech, telling Lampard this is his last contract and making plans to move the club to Dublin.

Maybe he's been busy selling up, now he has achieved what he set out to do in 2003.

I'm afraid he's going nowhere.
