Champions League Final 2011

Here we go again....the game of the decade etc etc. No chance. It will be yet another bore with one goal in it. Fear will win the day and football will go out the window.

I hope I'm wrong but it will be Moscow 2008 all over again. Frightened football will be the order of the day.

Will Messi shine....unlikely. For me the unlikely hero?......David Villa. Seems to be forgotten but I think he will come alive tomorrow a bit like Et'o did in 2009.

For Man Utd Giggs is the key. He makes them tick. If his mind is on the game who knows?

Lets hope they can do it for the Premier League....and the blue noses!!

NBA FINALS 2011 - Good Or Bad?

The 2011 NBA Finals are here and for many it will be a breath of fresh air.....Dirk's Dallas against the Three Kings of Miami. For me it will be a waste of time. A rematch of the 2006 Finals which for me were the worst series of games I can recall in recent history.

People will point to the fact that the finals will be all the better for being Celtic and Laker less but for me the games will not be as enthralling because of it. However I will be rooting for Dallas - the lesser of two evils simply because I cannot stand the Miami bandwagon and the fact that a trip to the finals masks a poor season and simply shows that , like most sports
(eg Man City), success can be bought and the emergence of young superstars like KD and D-Rose counts for nothing.

Oh how I prayed for a OKC vs Bulls finals matchup......still there's always next year!!
