Blinkered view if ever I saw one? Yet later you go on saying the English are single-minded and ignorant... :P

Liverpool have joint owners and are leaving up to the management to run the club. Rick Parry is still the main man, he just doesn't have the financial say any more. I agree that some sparks of Milan were better than some of Liverpool, but I don't think you could argue Liverpool were the better team on the night and it just never broke their way (the opposite to 2005 when Milan were the better team). I'm sure Liverpool would rather have Gerrard than any of the Milan players... only Nesta really comes close now (though I'm a massive Gattuso fan too)

You'll probably find most teams that get the final had a pretty flawless run... remember how lucky you were to be in the Champions League at all though - was almost inevitable you'd win given the circumstances.

You assume we haven't been to football matches? I think it's fair to say the best away supporters I've ever seen have been Turkish ones who visited Newcastle last year. They were awesome. So much noise, and despite the very nature of their reputation, mixed with ours, there was no trouble at all. Just wonderfully harmonious. Of course there's a few loud-mouthed louts, but you get them in every country - you'd have to be off your head to suggest your country doesn't have any at your average decent-level matches either.
