The official voice of Championship Manager 96/97. "One on the near post, one on the far", while a picture of the Valley Parade or some people watching some pub side chills in the background.

• "Steve McClaren calls him "the glue" of his midfield. It's a fitting analogy because Owen Hargreaves has never been afraid to get his hands dirty."

• "So there will be no champions in the Champions League final. Again. The most prestigious club match in European football will be between the third best team in Italy and the third best team in England.

Milan, who have not won Serie A since 2004, are 28 points adrift of leaders Inter. Liverpool's last domestic title was in 1990 and they trail Premiership leaders Manchester United by 18 points. Sir Alex Ferguson was right when he said the Treble would never be done again.

The 1999 final that produced Ferguson's finest two minutes was the last to be played between teams who finished the season as champions of their own country. Since then, every Champions League final has featured at least one side from outside the top two in their own domestic league. Liverpool had finished fifth in the Premiership when they overcame Milan in 2005. Arsenal were fourth last season."
