Yup. Funny though, you don't see Lyon and PSG bossing European football.

[wjf]

Shock horror, Platini doesn't want to see football heading down the same route it has been going for years with the gulf growing more noticable by the year between the haves and the have nots.

 

We should probably lynch him.

[Seddo]

Just like when the Italian and Spanish teams were blowing huge amounts of money on players not so long ago and now the tables have turned he doesn't like it.

 

His beloved Juve aren't doing anything and he's not happy.

[The Killa]

Now changing the topic(sorry lol.), who do you think will win in the last 4 rounds in the champions league?

 

Man utd vs Arsenal?

Barcelona vs Chelsea

I really hope for Arsenal / Barca final. It's unlikely but I'll take anything over Man U / Chelsea again. zzzzzz

And was Platini in charge at UEFA when this was happening?

 

That'll be a no then.

 

Pretty small minded to think that he bases any of his decisions on how well/poorly Juve are doing.

 

Edit - I put money on an Arsenal vs Chelsea final when the last draw was made, so fingers crossed.

[Rafinha]

Man City 2-1 Hamburg...

Come on boys, we can get them!

That's what everyone said when the Liverpool-Chelsea draw was announced. Even I was like 'not again'. Also, if the final happens to be anything like last year, then it's surely all your money's worth.

City were slaughtering them for a brief period. I was adament they were going to score in a brief spell, but I was also adament that they weren't going to score with how their chances were squandered. It'll be a shame to see them go (If they do go), but that's football.

32 turns to 33

Of course he does .

 

City unlucky in the end really, Elano was unlucky with those two freekicks though. They lost the tie in the first leg though, there was just to much to do in the end.

RONALDO! GOAL!!!

 

Man U by 2

 

Chelsea by 1

 

Those are my tips. Beers on my if all goes my way.

And we had Barca vs Arsenal a few years ago too.

 

I just don't want to see Man Utd and Barcelona, because they are the two teams I dislike the most in the football world. Still, I support Arsenal most of the four.

 

1. Arsenal

2. Chelsea

3. Man Utd

4. Barcelona

 

That's how it is for me, I wouldn't be mad if any of them won as long as it's not Barcelona... and maybe Man U.

[Eminence]

I'm rooting wholeheartedly for Barca, as I love Spanish football and despise the Chavs and the Mancs. I guess an Arsenal win would be alright.

[Bates_GTA]

Manchester United v Barca final would be the ultimate. Just both teams i think right now are equally as good and the best in Europe right now. It'd be a brilliant Final.

You don't want to see two of the most technically gifted teams in European football face off on the biggest stage in European football? Are you retarded? Here's hoping for a Galatasaray vs. Marseille final next year, just for you then.

 

Even if you hate the sides as a neutral you should be hoping for a United/Barca final. I'd rather see a technically gifted Liverpool side (as much as I hate them) over the relatively conservative Italian sides; you know yer gonna get a goal or five.

 

Personally I'm not wanting a United/Barca final for an entirely different reason; I know we can beat Chelsea But hey, we gotta beat Arsenal first.

[DanManUtd]

Man Utd Barca final.

 

Bit anxious of playing Arsenal though...

[nerner]

An Arsenal Chelsea final would be a bit tasty, rivals and all that. They could be the two sides closest to eachother to ever contest a champions league final.

[kietotheworld]

Bizarre comments from Ferguson and Allardyce today attacking Benitez. Can't for the life of me understand why he's said what he did.

I'd say that was last season's.

[nerner]

I wonder...

 

Same country champions league finals:

 

AC Milan vs Juventus, Distance: 90 miles.

 

Real Madrid vs Valencia, Distance: 188 miles.

 

Manchester United vs Chelsea, Distance: 181 miles.

 

So the 2003 final was between the sides closest together distance wise.

Thought you were on about closest in terms of quality.

[SIKKS66]

Still think it's a farce how UEFA can't move the venue. I mean, there's a perfectly good 90'000 seat stadium in London should there be an all England final but the fans have to cross half of Europe to get to Rome. Even worse if it is Arsenal/Chelsea.

If you are talking about that then it would be either last years, or the 2003 final, which both went to penalties. The other one was very one sided as Madrid won 3-0.

Anyone else think that Hulk guy is gonna get signed by a Premiership team this summer? The guy is HUGE, skillful and is only 22, he'd make a great signing.

Bless him. Reminds me of the guys in Spinal Tap for some reason, esp. when he's talking about his expensive "pole".

 

Edit: That Nani interview is like a slow death.

Reminds me of a young Cristiano Ronaldo, except younger, and more solid across the shoulders.

[Flesh-n-Bone]

Yes! Wolfsburg 2-1 Leverkusen. What an entertaining match that was, Grafite saved us at the 85th minute.

[Lethal Nizzle]

I can't believe it; 5-0 down against Preston N.E. I am simply flabbergasted at our peformance. That could mean our chances of auto promotion just got slimmed.

[kietotheworld]

Wolves Promoted to the Premier League, Charlton Relegated to League One. Leicester back up to the Championship.

Don't you mean 6-0 down? You were awful. Meanwhile we lose to Swansea away, as expected.

 

Your chances of automatic promotion have gone from non-existent to non-existent, so really no change there then.
