If they choke again this year...and they're already coughing....I wouldn't be surprised if wanger is history. Now that would be twice as sweet because then henrietta would fuck off to Madrid and the rest of the frog twats can fuck off back across the chunnel!

The Champions League looks more like the UEFA Cup Finals after todays results.
 
 Unbelieveable!!!!

OLE, OLE, OLE OLE OLE. OLE, OLE, OLE OLE OLE!!
 
 
 I got drunk in celebration of those french twats going down last night. I really did. (Got a bad head tonday) That was the greatest result in the Champions League since United's magnificent win in 1999! United don't have much hope of catching them, but I hope Chelski can take the premiership from them too.
 
 I also take great satisfaction knowing that although they are unbeaten in the premier league this season...they can't beat us.....We beat them in the Charity Shield....drew at Old Trafford, drew at Highbury and beat them in the FA Cup! You know that has got to be eating them up inside.
 
 I wish Madrid had gone through, but I understand your joy Barcelona...I just wanted Becks to win it and shove it up Fergusons arse, because getting rid of him was nothing other than a personal vendetta and wrong for the team.
 
 I think I might want Chelski to go all the way now, will have to think about it though. [/b]

Mankie, for the record. Madrid has won 9 European Cups. The first six of them in the fifties and sixties, during Franco's dictatorship (those days in which Franco decided that Di Stefano had to play in Madrid rather than in Barcelona to prevent the success of the controversial separatist regions). The other three between 1997 and 2002, during the right wing party governments. Never won it with a center or left wing government (1975 - 1996). This year, three days after the moderate left wing socialist party won the elections, they lost the Spanish Cup final and on Tuesday were humiliated by Monaco. The relationship between soccer and politics is  pretty interesting in Spain. Things might change next year if they get Henry and a decent defense, but we will see.

That's very interesting about the politics "coincidences" with Madrid. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a swap deal with Arsenal... Beckham for Henry, seeing as his wife can't seem to settle in Spain. I think a more likely scenario is Beckham to go to Chelski seeing as they're the only team with the spending power.
 
 As for who I want to win the Champions League...I think I'll let it be a case of "may the best team win"....it would be nice for me for an English team to win, but the flip side of that is Chelski have done something that United have been accused of for years, but innocent of....buying success!

Beckham for Makelele is the more likely scenario in a swap.

Do you really think Beck's would approve a trade to the hated Arsenal though?
 
 How's this?
 
 Becks to Chelski.....United take Duff from Chelski.

Real Madrid really need a good defender, otherwise they won't win anything next year. I still think that Madrid lost a lot by letting Makelele go and getting Beckham. He hasn't shown anything in Spain. I'd like Deportivo to win the Champions League, that was a mostly second division team in Spain until the late eighties, they have done quite well since then. However, a Makelele goal for Chelsea in the final game would be so funny... Real Madrid let him go because he is not considered a star, but last year he certainly did more than Raul and Figo combined. As for Fergusson's assistant in Manchester United, now coaching Real Madrid, poor guy, he is terrible!

[mankie]

I know we disagree on the talent of Beckham...but that aside, Madrid needed Beckham like they needed a hole in the head. I thought that was a very similar situation to when United got Veron, and look what happened to him. Madrid seem to get stars for the sake of it, regardless of wether there's a need. That's why I think they'll go for Henry.
 
 Madrid's game plan as always seemed to be to outscore the opponent, they don't seem to put too much emphasis on defence, which has come back to haunt them this Champions League.

While I would love Duff at United, Real will take Makelele back from Chelsea in exchange for Beckham before Chelsea give up Duff.
