I thought Euroboy was a Fleetwood fan or some extremely small side along those lines.


Was delighted for Bayern, I was in the Arndale yesterday and managed to meet a few Germans before the game, they're really nice people and they were bricking it for the game. I knew Robben would make the difference, he's been immense for the past few years now, Madrid really shouldn't have let him go, but I guess they needed to recoup some money. He and Ribery are by far the best two players in Germany IMO, I think Ribery will go in the summer but Robben seems to be at home in the bundesliga, would love either of them at Liverpool, but they're way out of our league.

Surprised Lyon beat Bordeaux, I thought Gourcuff and co. would have had enough to see them off, but I guess that's the beauty of the two legged tie. I fancy a Barca - Bayern final, with Barca thumping them for consecutive CL trophies.

Robben at Bayern and Sneijder at Inter. Not the best of decisions letting those two leave.

Nope, it wasn't. I read that Madrid needed to recoup some of the money they spent, so all of the Dutch players were seen as surplus. I've not seen too much of Madrid this year, I've read from some parts that Kaka hasn't been too great of a signing, whilst others have said he's been really good. I guess Kaka and Ronaldo are pretty decent replacements for Robben and Sneijder, like.

Kaká has been very disappointing and Benzema... remember him? Sneijder didn't want to leave but was forced out as Jorge Valdano didn't think he was right for the club/good enough. Ronaldo has been excellent but for me their stand out player has been Higuain.

If you read his predictions for Fleetwood's progress over the next few years on the non-league thread then you'd think they'll be usurping the likes of Barcelona as major players in the game in the next few years.

He'll have a dilemma on his hands when they face off in the Champions League Final.

It's never too late

Thank you.

Considering I moved to england when i was 4, i think thats pretty good

But if you still dont believe me, by all means, i will PM you my name etc. You will see its a spanish surname

OMG I loved Robbens goal. I swear to god I love that goal. It's the greatest goal I have ever seen.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Can you get that logo in a little larger font, I can't quite read it

You're ok mate

Do you still get over? Espanyol have their training base in Sant Adrià de Besos.

I only stopped laughing about a minute ago.

S'not big enough is it? I'll try find an even bigger one.

Not as often as I used to. I get free tickets whenever I want them but its the cost of travel. Before I had children etc, I used to go to at least 10 home games a season, but then when you have ties, you dont have the cash. Last time I went was 2008, a few months before my father died and we went out for a meal with a few barcelona first teamers, coaching staff etc. I do miss the atmosphere in the nou camp, no other match day experience comes close. I keep meaning to visit my fathers side of the family as it was my fathers funeral last time I saw them but its finding the cash. They have sinced moved to les corts, which is ironic given my/their surname

No its not corts, but its close

Rafael was superb. Until Ribery retaliated with the swinging elbow, he didn't turn up. Rafael kept him out of the game. Taking away his little tug, Rafael proved to me hands down, that Gary Neville should walk away now. He's nowhere near as good as Rafael.

Nani probably had his best game in a United shirt, even when playing as the lone striker he was running around and causing Bayern all sorts of problems. Valencia once again was very good, although when he lost his RB he didn't get the ball often enough.

I don't really know how we lost the game. If only Rio decided to mark players, Carrick decided to clear the ball and VDS decided to pressure the striker, they would have been dead at half time. We made two very costly errors in the two legs, and Olic capitalised both times. We were superb in the first half last night, and even when down to 10 men, we didn't really look like conceeding, and indeed had the better chances - if only we had more than Rooney who could take their chances. However, you have to take your hat off to Robben, apart from a couple of runs, he was very quiet, but that goal was superb.

F*ck Ribery, if we're to get anyone from Bayern I want Robben. When fit he is unstoppable - if only we'd have tried harder to sign him before Chelski got him. I like Bayern, they're my FIFA team, I hope they go on to win it now.



In two games against Chelsea, one against Liverpool and both ties against Bayern, it has been proved that we lack the true quality in our midfield.

Valencia has given us a truly quality winger, with a decent cross and good strength. And Nani has had a really good second half to the season. However, in the middle we lack any creativity. Giggs and Scholes cannot play more than two games, and at times their passing has been woeful. Carrick has had his worse season since joining United, and Anderson has missed large chunks due to injury and fall out.

There are rumours that a £24m deal has been agreed for Milner. Either him, Gourcuff or David Silva are a must this summer. We also need to sign a new striker as well as a replacement GK for VDS.

Still, it could be worse, we could be on Channel 5 tonight.

and we could be on channel 5 in a few weeks in the semi final.you lot wont be on ITV in a few weeks though.

ZING!

Are you really using the thursday night channel 5 cup as some sort of one up on united? Only small time teams care about the europa cup.

Were you looking at Hull's position in the premier league table? It's amusing when the giddyometer for ABU's goes haywire when we go out of a competition. I expect it from City and LFc fans due to the rivalries involved, but when fans of pub teams "try" and take the mick it makes you look sad and cringeworthy.

Maybe so.

You'll also be in the same Channel 5 cup next season whilst we're once again competing for the European Cup.

Agreed fella. Midfield is a key area for us to srtengthen. We desperatley lack that quality player to turn a game in midfield. From what I've seen of Gourcuff I've been really impressed. Milner, I'm far from sold on as a top quality player. He had a good spell but I'm not jumping on the Milner bandwagon just yet. David Silva is an excellent ft for United.

Really??? I wonder, should Liverpool win the Europa league and Utd's only silverware is the League cup whose season will be the biggest failure

Is this a serious point or are you on a wind up? I really do hope it's the latter.
