Tony's Fiver
1: Right foot forward
Why were so many players slipping over during the FA Cup Final on Saturday? It was like watching Bambi On Ice. Players should make sure they have the right footwear, not just boots that look good.
2: Kewell says farewell
Harry Kewell has left Liverpool after an injury-plagued five years at Anfield. What a talent, but what a waste. He had everything — the skill and pace to pass opponents. Yet he never appeared to have that hunger.
3: Rebuilding starts here
AC Milan have failed to qualify for the Champions League next season. They are still a giant of European football but will find it harder to attract star players. Now they need to focus on revamping their ageing squad.
4: No credit crunch
Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick have signed lucrative deals at Manchester United, with Carrick reported to be on £70,000 a week. For those who thought that wages were stabilising, think again.
5: Nearly is not enough
Avram Grant needs a victory over Manchester United in the Champions League final to avoid the “Nearly Man” tag. Nearly winning the Premier League, Carling Cup and Champions League is not good enough.
Unfair on Kewell - too much too young his body cracked up. He got Australia to Germany single-handed against and got them to the last sixteen.
No ticker? Very unfair, Tony, very, very unfair.
