    The State of the European Cup?

    Gerard Piqué

    i agree,but only if they develop a little bit faster and we keep them this time :p tbh,with us he always seemed a bit too relaxed,but i'm fairly certain that he would've soon adjusted to our more helter skelter league if he'd had a proper unbroken run in the team,but obviously the competition...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    if you go back to when he really started scoring it's unbelievable. i know you could find this out yourself,but at heerenveen and den bosch i'm not sure he was regarded as just an out and out striker :unsure: but since then he's done PSV 62 in 67 MUFC 95 in 150 Real 45 in 57 and...

    :unsure: :hmmm: i think you're being nice G,and as such.thank you. i will. i've liked barca since before mark hughes went there though i'd never really thought about coming somewhere like this til the final was confirmed tbh. woah woah woah there fella,if i'm gonna get castigated for a...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    at no point last year did i feel we were gonna go out to you. you retained possession well,but i genuinely can't remember feeling panicked once at OT for the 2nd leg,apart from the usual self induced panic that most fans must suffer from time to time. and can you not see the maybe in italics ...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    ok then derren brown,what did he have for breakfast ? ;) and i'd seriously be careful what you wish for though,because i know that YOU ALL APPEAR TO KNOW FULL WELL you'll beat us in an open match,whereas we tend to think that we could outscore you under ANY circumstances due to our defence...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    just gonna make a note of that..... "berbatov slow,won't harm us" might be,but maybe our attack is miles better than your defence,and your attack with all it's possession and occasional opponent's keeper with clean kit,won't break down our very good defence.they're each as likely as each other...

    The State of the European Cup?

    i don't disagree with you,but i'm still saying that regardless of format,good bad or indifferent,it's harder to win than it was. yes,and that's why i wrote (perceived :rolleyes:) apologies for mistaking you for a scouser first and foremost :$ and re the draw,you might have thought that but...

    The State of the European Cup?

    i didn't,strictly speaking mean the opponents were easy,more that 7 games to win the european cup doesn't sound too much of a stretch compared to the slogfest of nowadays. please read my earlier post \/ and tell me if i was dissing any teams particularly. oh,and i accept your apology that you...

    The State of the European Cup?

    so,6 group games,Italian champions,Portuguese champions,and a team you couldn't beat (i'm assuming you're a l/p fan) this season....:$

    The State of the European Cup?

    i know that Beast and i'm not taking them lightly,but even then a few leagues shared the majority of the wins. holland had 4 consecutive and then germany and england shared the next 11 titles so i'm not sure what's different overall :unsure: imo,the bigger (perceived) teams tend to win the...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    did you mean our defence ...apologies if you did mean your. :$ i won't disagree with any of that but i'd add that it's been a while since i saw a shadow score a goal. i'll just have a :hmmm: about it and let you know if i remember one.:p

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    @ Beast what do you think of van nistlerooy ? he's the greatest goalscorer i'll ever see play for United and i wondered what your feelings on him were.

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    do you mean very well? almost properly ;) and we do play on the counter attack as and when we have to,but rest assured,there'll be no reticence to attack your defence,and that's mainly due to the fact that we should believe that our attack is better than your defence to a greater extent than...

    The State of the European Cup?

    i disconcur ;) i think that it's CLEARLY harder to win now that it ever was,and the boredom due to familiarity does NOT make it lesser in quality. it's quite easy to overplay a favourite song until you're sick of it yourself,but to others who hear it every now and again,it will remain a thing...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    i think our line up without those players would be VDS rafael vidic ferdinand fabio fletcher carrick scholes park tevez berbatov which would suffice in quite a few games,imo,but the "difference makers" (ronaldo/rooney) being out would obviously take it's toll,but to what degree we'll never...
