I was talked into watching the FA Cup final by a friend of mine from the UK who supports anyone but ManU. ManU should have won, there were a few highlights, but that game demonstrated why soccer will never catch on in the US as a spectator sport. 120 minutes of a nil-nil draw and decided by the sporting equivalent of a coin toss. If I gave a shit about either team I might not have found it such a painful waste of time.
I will check the scores on the CL final but after this weekend I really couldn't give a shit.
O'Neill's leaving is most definitely not a good thing, especially since his likely replacement is Gordon Strachan, a mediocre (and currently unemployed) manager who left his last coaching job in Southampton complaining of "stress." O'Neill's heart hasn't been in the job this year, mainly I think due to his wife's illness, but he is still the best manager the club has had since Jock Stein. We are in a world of shit.
ETA: did I mention that I don't give a shit enough in the above post? Good god.

I love it when ManU loses.
When's the Scottish Cup final? I thought Strachan left Southampton for 'hip surgery'.
