There isn't a problem with wanting another team to win, putting them in your avatar is very lame and sad though.

There you go, to stop everyone moaning about it, I've changed my picture to the first British manager to retain the European Cup.

Not according to Sky though, apparently Alex Ferguson could achieve this landmark tonight.

That's the spirit, to be fair people are saying the first time in the current format.

I've never seen such bitterness displayed, maybe keith not being here isn't helping, funny how this thread is dominated by LFC "fans", not obsessed much.

Ok first time in this format but if I was them I would have shown they are not completely one eyed by saying that Paisley and Clough were also British managers to have done it.


It is not just the Champions League though Sky honestly tend to forget what happened before the Premiership far too often....unless its patronising the likes of Burnley and playing on their 33 years out of the "Top Flight".

I think they're always going to push such things as they've been a massive factor in the rise of the english game and the premier league in general, just gald Liverpool didn't win the league as te celebrations would still be on SSN. I agree r.e Clough and Paisley. both great managers and fantastic achivements at the time as their were much more dominant teams around then, by that I mean the likes of Bayern and Ajax who created a bit of a dynasty.

It's ok, that sort of attitude just drives the neutrals into the opposition corner.

Owen Coyle has asked to be allowed to talk to Celtic about the managers job

I know its not exactly a big shock but i thought at this moment in time he would want to stay at Burnley
