Volkswagen for example owns 49 % of the VFL Wolfsburg shares. The Bayer AG holds a huge percentage of the Leverkusen-shares. But no one is allowed to own more than 49 %.

So, this is a huge difference between the Bundesliga and other top-leagues.

And personally, I think it's a good thing. I don't want any Bundesliga-club to become a toy of some Arabic sheikh or whatever.

This is what makes the Bundesliga one of the best run leagues in Europe, if not the best. Because of such regulations Germany's football leagues boasts some of the cheapest tickets, with respect to the quality of football at hand, and also the fans will likely never see their club run into the ground by debt.

So Arsenal must win tonight right? Or thats the title gone?

So Arsenal must win tonight right? Or thats the title gone?

Title is already gone, been the Mancs since November.

 

Even if United do drop more points Arsenal won't win their remaining 6/7 games.

 

Another El Classico tonight as well /Homerdrool

[TommyMufc-Champs]

1-1! Get In there Van Der Vaart

[Seddo]

1-1! Get In there Van Der Vaart

What a lightning start to this North London derby .

 

Nasri puts Arsenal 2-1 in front.

 

Perhaps a /homerdrool is in order.

[Waddy]

Yeah, Ima gona watch the Real V Barca when it comes on.

 

How the hell was VDV 8million?!

[TommyMufc-Champs]

Damn now It's 2-1 Arsenal. Come on spurs, a draw would be brilliant.

[Pansy.]

Booo Arsenal booo.

[JOSEPH X]

Lol. Ray Wilkins must be conscious of his meme. He had to stifle it when Djouru went flying in for a yellow, "Stand up, stand up!"

[Der_Don]

Anyone's watching Copa del Rey?

Better chances for Real. I can't see Barca winning this tbh.

[AndyGanteks]

At the moment, it seems vice versa, and Barca is dominating the 2nd half.

 

edit: Nvm, Real won, all, that matters.

[flitcroft101]

madrid won copa del rey 1-0

 

only the champions league left now and this result will be devastating for barcelona

[El Zilcho]

Hahaha yes Mourinho! Yes Real! Have that Barca! Perhaps I burying my anguish over another failed treble this season but I'm just glad Barca can't grab all silverware this season. Ohhh that was good.

 

As for Arsenal vs Tottenham, a draw keeps things nice and lovely for the title race (though as Seddo said, it's not like United are going to lose it now)

[Vercetti27]

lost for words. dissapointing. not just the lack of mental strength but the fact RVP's goal that was ruled out wasn't offside. ugh. another waste of a season

[Canoxa]

Hala, Madrid!

[PHCharls]

 

 

 

Congrats to Real Madrid

I havent watched much Spanish football for ages, this was the first once since I upgraded my TV package.

The main thing about last night game I noticed is what a player Ronaldo is, he has matured so much, what player. Why isnt Kaka getting a game? Good win for Madrid but means very little, its like the Carling cup isnt it?

[Der_Don]

 

Good win for Madrid but means very little, its like the Carling cup isnt it?

I think it's more like the FA Cup.

 

And Kaka is still injured, isn't he? That's why Özil plays on his position. I might be wrong though.

[MyDog]

Kaka had returned on the pitch. I can't remember which game though.

[Waddy]

He was deffo there last night, maybe he cant get in the team? Imagine that...

 

Arsenal in 3rd now? Blown it big time.

[TommyMufc-Champs]

Well done Spurs! Was a cracking game.

 

Now that Is Arsenal's season over for definite.

Kaka isn't competitive yet. And a midfield battle with Barça is no place for an out of shape 30-something.

 

The Copa del Rey is the main domestic cup. And very well regarded in Spain.

[EL_FUGA]

True, it has nothing to do with Carling cup

 

Barcelona seems to win everything, so I'm glad that Madrid won this one! Still I'd like to see more teams fighting for the titles, like Sevilla It's always Madrid and Barca and it's getting boring.

[Vercetti27]

Well done Spurs! Was a cracking game.

ou season was over when wenga did FA in january to strengthen our squad. FACT.

Wow, that's gotta be a huge dampener. Also, "The trophy fell quicker than Ronaldo!!" lol

[Chunk]

Excellent match between us and the scum last night, but we needed a win.

30-something? He's 28.

Porto deserved to win that game, had to say. Benfica kept playing defense when they should do the opposite.

 

I'd just like to know why weren't Robert booted yet.
