I just want to say a big big congratulations to Ars.enal for reaching the Champions League final and to Middlesbrough for reaching the UEFA Cup final last night. Anyone who doubts that the Premiership isnt so strong will see this as proof that it is just as good as the other top leagues in Europe, even the world.
Middlesbrough performed not just one miracle but again last night they performed another. They were losing 3-0 on aggregate and needed to score 4 goals to reach the final...and yes you guesses it, they did it. What a game...hadnt seen anything like it since my Liverpool last May.
So Ars.enal will play Barelona on May 17th in Paris and Middlesbrough will play Sevilla on May 10th in Eindhoven.
