Yeah, yeah, Arsenal lost the Champions League final, it will probably take us another twenty years to get to the Big Cup match again, with the second goalkeeper in and Pires off after the first goalie, Lehmann, was sent off after eighteen minutes, apparently for a kick to one of the Barca players.
Not so much that is idiotic, if Barca were better than us, I will accept it - and we squeaked through the semi, if I remember correctly. More so the UEFA officials who were defending the ticket allocation. Out of a stadium of 77,000 - the Stade de France I assume - only 42,000 of those were on the open market for the fans, the others being allocated to the sponsors and broadcasters.
Even that may have been acceptable, but the way the UEFA spokesman gave the reasoningt, on the radio half an hour ago - I haven't yet been able to find an actual net article about it - saying that without broadcasters, we wouldn't be able to watch the game, without sponsors, the game probably wouldn't be happening, it would be like football in the 1950s, and quite likely there would be no game, no Champions League and no teams. And he didn't hear the teams complaining after getting the cheques for forty million euro each.
Dickhead. And yes, I am pretty sure I was listening correctly :)
Will find a net link this evening on the UEFA idiocy, fingers crossed.
