Went into the final game of the season with my Swansea team a point behind leaders Sunderland but with a much better goal difference.
Sunderland lose 2-1 at Anfield and I manage a 0-0 away to Hull City depsite being all over them from the final whistle. But what's this? Manchester United win their last game and leapfrog us both to win the title. Who said the game isn't realistic?
I was already into the Champions League final, which is a massive achievement in itself, against a very strong Juventus side. 3-1 down after 54 minutes and I gave up hope thinking I was going to end another season with nothing to show for all the hard work and clever buys I'd made. Hang on, has my Dutch u21 international centre midfielder just leathered one in from the edge of the box? I think he has! I've no idea what happened to my boys, or Juve, but they started playing like they were possessed and went on to score another 3. Yes that's right, Swansea City beat Juventus 5-3 in the Champions League final.
'One pundit commented that this match should be taped and shown to any doubters of the beautiful game'.
What made it all the sweeter was that the Juve side contained a former player of mine who refused to sign a new deal and moved to the Italians on a free transfer and €115,000 a week. I wouldn't have minded but he was valued at €32 million and I could really have done with that money.
