Bert Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 About 2 years ago when Aiax knocked them out wasn't it?Correct.
Fox92 Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 I still think United will be able to attract players, because it's Manchester United. For me, United and Liverpool are the biggest clubs in this country and will remain that regardless of Champions League football. The only thing that might happen at United, is what has happened at Liverpool. You don't buy those £20million/£25million players anymore, you sort of take a step back. Liverpool had to do it, probably minus Suarez.
Finnegan Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 Diving is disappointing and I don't condone it but it's not all I'm talking about. It's the crying and the arm flapping and the sulking out of games when he isn't getting his way. He's an awful team player. Compare him to Suarez. Suarez likes a dive and a nibble, he's no angel. But his workrate is always flawless and he's always rallying round the likes of Sterling. I've been very impressed the last season by Suarez' attitude with his team mates, especially the younger members of the squad.
StanSP Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 About 2 years ago when Aiax knocked them out wasn't it? Ah yeah. I presume Eriksen scored.
Uncle Albert Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 Bilbao knocked Man United out the Europa League, pretty sure they did anyway.
Ross-Kemp Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 I don't give a **** if he bums animals and bullies children off the pitch (just as long as it's not the other way round, sorry ozleicester.) I care about what he's like on the pitch and on the pitch his attitude is ****ing disgraceful. The tantrums and theatrics are embarrassing for a grown man. He's not alone in that regard, Drogba is another who's an absolute hero off the pitch (amazing humanitarian work back home) but a prize twat on it.) Like Rooney ? Or Bellamy ?
Finnegan Posted 27 February 2014 Posted 27 February 2014 Like Rooney ? Or Bellamy ? I think Bellers matured a lot later in.his career but generally, yes, I'd agree. I'm by no means suggesting Ronaldo is the only talented **** in football!
Unabomber Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Watched about a minute of that but then it became so annoying. Ashley Young is a cretin.
KFS Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Man U will actually have to scout properly as opposed to using the allure of Europe? Fvck me!
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 I have to say I fear for English football, and I think the last week has backed it up. We've seen the Country's best team absolutely dominated by Barcelona and now United lose to a pretty 'average' (I use that term lightly) Oympiakos team. We are way behind the likes of Germany and Spain, and will continue to be for some time until someone up in the authorities actually realises. Roy Keane has just hit the nail on the head. I like Keane, and regardless of whether you do or don't you cannot argue with what he's just said... "We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand."... That is so true. I don't know what else to add. We'll be on the first plane home in the summer, although we probably already knew that anyway. Bayer Leverukusen 0-4 Paris Saint Germain Schalke 1-6 Real Madrid
Fox92 Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Bayer Leverukusen 0-4 Paris Saint Germain Schalke 1-6 Real Madrid PSG's first eleven that day cost approx 169million. Madrid's first eleven that day cost approx £350million.
MC Prussian Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Bayer Leverukusen 0-4 Paris Saint Germain Schalke 1-6 Real Madrid So? Olympiakos 2-0 Manchester United Real Sociedad 0-0 Manchester United Chelsea 1-2 Basel Basel 1-0 Chelsea (Napoli 2-0 Arsenal) Dnipro 1-0 Tottenham Swansea 1-3 Napoli (alright, Swansea are not English )
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 PSG's first eleven that day cost approx 169million. Madrid's first eleven that day cost approx £350million. So? You think PSG would be able to win 4-0 at the Emirates? You think Real Madrid would be able to win 6-1 at Anfield?
C-man Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 So? You think PSG would be able to win 4-0 at the Emirates? You think Real Madrid would be able to win 6-1 at Anfield? On their day, obviously. Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid Bayern 7-0 Barca (over 2 legs) Lost count of the times Barca have smashed English clubs. My point is that basing the entire strength and success of a league on a handful of one-off games is fvcking lunatic. That's not to say I disagree with you as I think the Premier League is stronger, in general, than the Bundesliga but so it should be the amount of money thrown about in it. The team bottom of the league spent £12m on one player in January FFS. That would be a huge transfer in Germany, France or Spain (save for Bayern, PSG, Barca/Real). What a silly argument. The fact is: PL clubs are underperforming.

The fact is: PL clubs are underperforming. I don't remember the last time Barca have smashed an English club. Normally they win a tight game due to the other team having a man sent off. The Bundesliga hype was based around a handful of one-off games i.e the ones you just mentioned.

They're keeping it clean, they're keeping it simple. They keep an eye out on expenses and offer good to great games at reasonable prices. If at all, then you'll have to look at the Premier League as being "hyped".
AKCJ Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Ronaldo doesn't have an attitude, he's actual quite humble off the pitch. I don't care what he does off the pitch. It has no relevance to me. It's the way he celebrates his goals like he's been sent from God. Ronaldo has also had 7 reds in his career. He's a bit of a **** on the pitch if we're honest. However, he's without the doubt the best performing footballer in the world. Our children's children will ask us to tell our stories of him, because he'll be in the Maradona, Cruyff and Pele class.
Finnegan Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 So? You think PSG would be able to win 4-0 at the Emirates? You think Real Madrid would be able to win 6-1 at Anfield? Playing like they did against Schalke, yes.

ScouseFox Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Ronaldo was clearly sent from God to remind us all how average Messi is
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 28 February 2014 Posted 28 February 2014 Playing like they did against Schalke, yes. Nah Schalke were just terrible. Liverpool would actually give them a game.
