Liverpool were shit - nothing for 60mins and then route one for 30. When the likes of Spearing, Henderson and Downing are playing for them, they can forget about challenging for a top 4 spot.
On a plus note, I'd take Carroll to the Euros just so we can play like Liverpool did when we're 2 down to France
The FA Cup Final

Liverpool weren't shit for the last 30, had they played like that the whole game, they would have won it. Henderson was atrocious. Save of the season from Cech, stupendously good.
On his recent form, Carroll might have made a late case for a place in that squad.

No goal, by 1 mm.
Carroll looked great, Downing looked very good, Johnson looked close to fitness and Henderson looked ok, not £14 million but a premiership player. But two things were more striking for any England fan. Firstly, Spearing isn't good enough for he Championship tbh, and there have been so many young English players who have looked shit this year. Secondly apart from him, of the other English players, Gerrard was the most disappointing and yet Gerrard is going to get into the Euros squad unless Houghton is extremely brave. That's what's wrong with English football.
It was a good game, and an exciting occasion. You could tell how much it meant to the winners and the losers, and winning that trophy is a far bigger prize than Newcastle or Spurs might get for finishing fourth (assuming Chelsea lose). I know there is more money for the owners, but for the fans, the Champions league is a bit shit 9 times out of 10. It won't be fashionable for too much longer to knock the FA cup.

Save of the season probably - what a week for best of the seasons!
And I want Carroll in the Euros squad now. He won't be knackered, and he is just running into form.

Not half as likely as pointless and offensive remarks like this.

It was long ball, look for Carroll every time - at times i thought Stoke were in the final
As for ESPN vs ITV, did ESPN have the crowd mics turned down?

Thought was a decent cup final to be fair, just ruined by me being chased out of Yates in High Wycombe for giving it the big one at full time. Rammed with proper mong plastic scpusers. Proper divs.
Anyway agree with cmonurz, think Carroll can offer us a great deal from the bench like he did yesterday. Have him over Crouch for sure.

No Fixed Abode Just a quick ...............DROFLGBA
Can Chelsea afford to let him go at the end of the season?
Finishing 6th and letting their best player (apart from Ramires) go means that once again dear old Abramovich will have to dig very deep into those pockets.
