Manchester United takes the title one point ahead of Arsenal, with Chelsea in third. Liverpool beats Wimbleduh, er I mean Wimbledon, and finishes seventh .
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Man U with their achievement.
Yeah right!

As a Manchester United suporter I feel I must post here and say
HELL YEAH!
On to the treble.
MikeH II posted 05-19-99 10:54 AM ET
Venom, good to see you back!
Venom posted 05-19-99 11:01 AM ET
Ah yes, back to work and plenty of time on my hands.
I think I'll come by more often.
Excellent to see you at the old stomping grounds again Mike.
Valtyr posted 05-19-99 03:25 PM ET
Oh no! They're here too! You can't go anywhere these days without running into United supporters, and most of them are under twelve (At least here in Norway).
Hugo Rune: Curling? I thought that was an upper class sport .
I like cricket too. Don't get to watch much of it, though. Which counties are the best?
JohnIII posted 05-19-99 03:27 PM ET
England aren't doing too bad, Sri Lanka are past their best, South Africa and Australia are incredible, India have some amazing batsmen, Pakistan have good bowlers and the West Indies=Brian Lara.

Is Atherton still captain btw?
JohnIII posted 05-19-99 03:34 PM ET
No, Alec Stewart (wicketkeeper) is.

Click here for a cool site.
John III
Valtyr posted 05-19-99 03:40 PM ET
Yes, I remember him. He was vice-captain under Atherton wasn't he? I think I can recall something about the selectors calling in Stewart as a wicketkeeper because the one they had (can't remember his name) wasn't that good a batsman. That was some years ago, though.
JohnIII posted 05-19-99 03:43 PM ET
I think you mean Jack Russell.
John III
Valtyr posted 05-19-99 03:53 PM ET
Yes, that's him. How could I forget? I remember writing down the whole English team and their records during a West Indies tour and an Ashes tour in Australia in the early Nineties.
Great site. It's a shame that Bolton's stadium is named after a commercial company, though. Doesn't sound right. Well, I suppose that's the way it goes these days.
Valtyr posted 05-20-99 04:13 PM ET
International Friendly at Ullev�l Stadion, Oslo: Norway 6 Jamaica 0
Goals by T Flo (2), Iversen, Leonhardsen, Dahlum, Lund.
JohnIII posted 05-20-99 04:16 PM ET
Is that Tore Andre Flo, Steffen Iversen, Oyvind Leonhardsen, ?, ??
John III
Valtyr posted 05-20-99 04:19 PM ET
Tore Andr� Flo (Chelsea), Steffen Iversen (Tottenham Hotspur), �yvind Leonhardsen (Liverpool), Tore Andr� Dahlum (Rosenborg), Andreas Lund (Molde). Flo=God .
JohnIII posted 05-20-99 04:21 PM ET
Harvard Flo= Goal vs Brazil .
John III
Valtyr posted 05-20-99 04:24 PM ET
No, it was T A Flo who scored against Brazil in the World Cup. His cousin H�vard Flo (then Werder Bremen, now Wolverhampton Wanderers) scored against Scotland.
JohnIII posted 05-20-99 04:25 PM ET
? Wasn't it a penalty?
John III
Valtyr posted 05-20-99 04:30 PM ET
You're probably thinking of Kjetil Rekdal's winning goal against the Brazilians.
JohnIII posted 05-20-99 04:41 PM ET
Sorry, too much tansfers and time yes.

The FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, London:
Manchester United 2 Newcastle United 0
Goals by Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes.

jig posted 05-23-99 04:06 AM ET
Which means that either Man U or Bayern is gonna get a treble.
Hugo Rune posted 05-23-99 05:42 AM ET
I used to hate United too, but I have since changed my mind.
United is a large club in europe which actually has a democratic structure with the members chosing the board. They have resisted any attempt to be Bought up. They have a large youth movement, and almost all of their best players are "home grown" (Giggs, Beckham, The Neville Brothers, Cole, Keane). Alex Fergusson is a nice little man, not the archetype of a football manager at all. And, The club plays great football.
Valtyr posted 05-23-99 11:04 PM ET
Hugo Rune: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But besides that . There are no rational reasons for why I hate them. I'm just obligated to because I, rather accidentally, happened to become a Liverpool supporter. I know ManU is the best English club and that Alex Ferguson probably is the best and nicest (he is a socialist, after all ) manager in the Premiership, but what kind of supporter would I be if I changed my allegiances to another club, just because that club were playing better football at the time? Not a very good one. My comments about hating Manchester United are all tongue-in-cheek.
I do not hate them. They're only a football club, for chrissakes.
Valtyr posted 05-23-99 11:05 PM ET
BTW, Cole and Keane are not home grown players.
Brother Greg posted 05-24-99 12:08 AM ET
Go ManU!
Add Scholes to the homegrown list. And Wes Brown. Nicky Butt. Off the top of my head, anyway...
I also though that the German Cup final was a week or so after the Champion's League final, so we wouldn't be sure if they won if they'd get the treble...
MikeH II posted 05-24-99 05:05 AM ET
And ManU didn't exactly resist a takeover, most of the fans did but the ManU board lay back with their legs in the air screaming "Take us now Murdoch" the Monopolies and Mergers comission blocked the takeover because they thought it would be bad for football.
Saras posted 05-24-99 05:28 AM ET
Does ANYONE here watch basketball?

Valtyr posted 05-24-99 05:36 AM ET
I can't take any sport seriously that requires you to be over 2 metres tall to play.
jig posted 05-24-99 05:55 AM ET
Please, please, somebody explain to my why curling is exciting?? It's about as exciting as lawn bowls, except on ice.
jig posted 05-24-99 05:59 AM ET
To my = to me
jig
oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hugo Rune posted 05-24-99 07:43 AM ET
It requires thinking, tactics, and skill. What more can you ask?
JohnIII posted 05-24-99 02:19 PM ET
"BTW, Cole and Keane are not home grown players. "
Cole isn't, fair enough, but Keane and Schmeichel were bought from tiny clubs so they count as Ferguson's "discoveries".

JohnIII posted 05-25-99 02:17 PM ET
Oh yeah, someone told me there was a football match tomorrow. Who's playing ?

Valtyr posted 05-25-99 05:02 PM ET
JohnIII: Do you call Nottingham Forest a tiny club?
Brother Greg posted 05-25-99 06:22 PM ET
Who's playing, indeed...
Go ManU to win the treble! That could only be a good thing for English football...
Valtyr posted 05-26-99 05:11 PM ET
European Champions League Final at Nou Camp,
Barcelona:
Manchester United 2 Bayern Munich 1 (after extra time)
Goals by Mario Basler (Bayern), Teddy Sheringham (United), Ole Gunnar Solskj�r (United).
Well, it's the treble for United and that really is an accomplishment. I was as neutral as can be watching this game, as I can't stand any of the clubs, but congratulations are in order.
Valtyr posted 05-26-99 05:25 PM ET
Well, this is crap. There was no extra time, so you can forget about that part of my last post. United's two goals were scored after 90 minutes of play.
