yeah i meant club teams. all our teams have sucked internationally for about 10 years.

We're probably looking at a Chelsea v Barcelona semi-final then. Certainly a Barcelona v someone semi anyway.
How will Man Utd and Liverpool bounce back on the weekend and in the second legs? Can Chelsea take heart from this result and get back into the title race? Will Arsenal's season fall apart yet again over the space of four days next week? Stay tuned!

Well, on the plus side,
I guess the plus side is in minus?Originally Posted by Psychotic
I don't know what Bayern were thinking in that match. They played high up the pitch and didn't have anyone protecting their back four. It was throwing the pigs out to slaughter. If I were a Chelsea fan I wouldn't be too worried over Barca like that.
As for Liverpool, 3 goals at Stamford Bridge? Liverpool should partner Torres with the Pope up front as they will need a miracle to go through now.

TBF, Croyles, Bayern were slaughtering Sporting recently. Big time. Record win, all that jazz. Also top of (and unbeaten) in a group including Lyon and Fiorentina. No walkovers - it's just that Barca are freaking insanely good, really, and Bayern have been in bad form recently (a la United).
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yeah and Bayern lost 5-1 to wolfburg on saturay. This is the problem though, every time a german team lose its never bad enough to get the DFL thinking about how to make the bundesliga better.
Im hoping some team will lose like 10-0 once so the german clubs finally realise, "hold on, something IS wrong with german club football internationally", cause there definitely IS something wrong with it.
Yeah Bayern slaughtered sporting but generally speaking german clubs are doing poorer internationally year by year. The second and third teams usually get put into the uefa cup straight from the CL group phase.
Im only saying this cause the german clubs used to actually have a chance at international level lol.
I dont actually care that much, but would just like to see some more competition in the CL other than the english and spanish teams (and sometimes italian)...
Anyway, its sunny outside so im gonna go lay in the park
Ahh, the haydays of Brussia Dortmund...

Karlheinz Riedle was a badman.
speak of the devil...
Putting Blackburn in their place after Fat Sam and his players had spent the week sniping at us felt good.
Blackburn aren't so hot, even we got six points off them this year! Next game for Man Utd is Portsmouth at home and Liverpool have us at Anfield, so that's a win for both of them there
What an odd game from us today, very bad for the first hour or so then we suddenly spark into life and wind up winning 4-1! We can't afford to be so rubbish in the first half on Wednesday though. And with all our injuries I'm worried that we're now operating on very unstable foundations ahead of this crucial week.
If Man Utd win the title, they should mint an extra medal for Macheda at this rate. Chelsea were so close to blowing a 4-0 lead, that would have been funny. And the relegation struggle still has five teams or so in there, I think Hull could yet be one of the ones to fall, one win since December, really dropping fast.

PFA Player of the Year shortlist:
Ferdinand
Gerrard
Van der Sar
Vidic
Giggs
Ronaldo
Good to see footballers thinking outside the box with their choices. Did Alex Ferguson pick this list or something? This is what happens when you leave voting to footballers and have them do it in February (remember Ginola winning the award in Man Utd's Treble season?).

lol, its swarming with United players. I feel they are deserved, however even though in the past I was a critic of Lampard, I think he should be on that list. I was going over the Premiership teams in my head but not many players stand out apart from the top four like they did last season (Ashley Young, Martin Petrov, Robbie Keane, Roque Santa Cruz, and so on), which is slighly disapointing.
Van Der Sar has been good for us this season but I'm not entirely convinced he should be shortlisted here. At the time of the 13 game unbeaten run our defence was rock solid, and he only had the odd save to make. I think Gerrard is a fantastic player and deserves to be in the list but he hasn't played consistantly great enough to warrent the top prize IMO. I'm delighted for Giggs that he has been mentioned. Last year I think he had problems with confidence and it directly impacted his game, but he really has played excellent this year. Ronaldo won't get it this year, but I still think he has done well. Ferdinand has been solid like he always is, and has partnered superbly with Vidic throughout the year. Lastly, Vidic has been the best player for me this season. I know over the past month or so he has looked jaded but I feel he deserves it.
On the topic of Ginola, how he won that year I will never know. Beckham, Yorke, Cole, and Keane were outstanding for United that season, and I remember Bergkamp, Overmars & Viera rivaling them.
