Heard two great football trivia questions on Guardian Football Weeklyand the European Football Show respectively:

Who is the only manager to have won all UEFA club competitions (Champions League, Uefa/Europa Cup and the Cup Winners cup, Super Cup)?
Who is the only manager to have coached his team to the finals of the Champions League, Uefa/Europa Cup and the Cup Winners cup and lost in all three finals?

Captain

Second one is Wenger.

Claudius

Correct. I hadn't realized he was alone in that misfortune. And who's the first? He's still an active coach.

Pepe LeFrits

1st one is Trapattoni.

Considering the Cup winners Cup ended in 1999 or 2000, there's only one team who won the CL, UEFA Cup and CWC in that short amount of time, that one manager might have lasted there so long.

Cruyff?

Ok, not acitve anymore.
Scrap that.

😆 With apologies to Oscar- To lose lose one final is considered unfortunate........

Claudius

LOL, Big, I knew you'd have a field day with that one 😛

Six years later...

'We are delighted to be able to reunite Lauren with his watch.

A 73 year old is being held for questioning.

I remember watching the news and they had a report on the Welsh and welsh speakers.

They showed a group of young people who were at the pub speaking Welsh and chilling out. Not sure if it was some sort of welsh speaking club but one guy said he felt more Welsh than British and he also felt more European that British. He was basically saying he hates the English.

kamikaze

lauren looks like he could still play!

Tony Montana

Only 34.

But when you're done you're done I guess.

Not the most popular gooner.

Biggus

Why not Tony?

Tony Montana

Well people rarely talk about him.

He's the least celebrated of the invincibles along with Gilberto probably.

Ricky didn't take to him so much either. I know he's not the only Arsenal fan but I see him as a yardstick for some reason.

Loved his fight in 2004 in the battle of Old Trafford though.

Biggus

Well for obvious reasons people go on about Henry Vieira Pires and Bergy.

Was always one of my favourites and would kill to have Lauren at the moment!

Gilberto's the one everyone always celebrates for being uncelebrated ... Lauren by contrast flies almost entirely under the radar.

I was gonna mention Vieira.

He's not as loved as Henry or Bergy either.

Obviously he agitated for a move away from Highbury which is never forgotten. Do you think he's indifferent to us? He never seems to talk of us in shining light.

As an Arsenal player he was legendary though.

Indeed Tony. And if they joined europe as an actual country, they would hate europeans; it's just the way people are. I bet they love being British when my tax money is paying for their free prescriptions and probably those pints they were drinking too.

Vieira was the main culprit when tapping up Nasri last summer.
