Well, well, well, Madrid on the rampage again, does anyone think that Barca can make a come back in the Bernabeau?
What about tonight (ManU v LeverKausen if you didn't know <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> ) everyones expecting ManU to walk it but Leverkausen did put 4 past "the best defence in Europe <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> " and topped the second group ahead of Juve, Arsenal and Deportivo surely they have a good chance to beat the scum!

I can see the match tonight going either way, but I think that Man U will win it over the two legs. I don't know if I back them for the final, though.
I can only hope to god that ManU don't win the whole thing, imagine the gloating!
Madrid will win the competition. I just can't see anyone beating them. They get the ball go forward with players like Zidane and Raul and look like scoring every time they go forward. I don't think Utd can stop them without their first choice team.
Ummm, know there not.
And yet they will STILL be in the Champions League <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> and they have such a bad record in that competition.
In fact didn't they have to qualify in the year that they won it - after all they had finished second in the league the previous year...
And I think that the ABU (Anyone But United) mentality is really pathetic guys. You really want a German club to progress over an English one?
Whoever wins it, there fans will be smug and they will gloat, I know ManU fans, I don't know any Leverkausen fans....
ManU are scum, fullstop.
Shame you haven't got one then really. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Purely as your countries representative.
Let's put it this way, who will you support in the World Cup if Germany meet England in a semi-final?
Its a matter of national pride.
Other than when they represent England, I am happy for you to hate them generally.
Still, I'm sure you are overjoyed at the result. <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
The reigning English champions, playing in a Eurpoean competition, as one of England's representative teams. Surely that is obvious....who else were they representing? Latvia?
Or are we going down the "yeah but how many of their players are english?" route...
Be ironic if the Scousers were. After all, their teams that won it were full of Jocks <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Oh, and eb, Forest are arseholes supported by arseholes. Even worse than Derby. Deal with it.
If I want national pride then I will support the English national team, club football has nothing to do with nationality
ManU are scum.
Bullshit, most Man U fans are fervent England Supporters. FFS we provide Brown, Neville, Neville, Scholes, Beckham and Butt for the squad. In fact, in one match recently we had SIX players on the pitch (Cole & Sheringham included). We're hardly going to be anti-England.
This anti-ManU rhetoric is pathetic. It's one thing to despise a team (although jealousy is never an attractive trait) but get a grip.
Do you have ANY idea why the MUFC fans have reacted like this?
Read some interviews with Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and David Beckham. Each of these players has been boo-ed and abused by England fans whilst playing for England and only becuase MUFC are their club side.
Look at how Beckham was vilified after the '98 World Cup. What about the Romania game in Euro 2000? The English fans <STRONG>really</STRONG> got behind Beckham then, didn't they? So much that even the England Manager public voiced his contempt for them.
True patriotism eh?
~~~~
I don't expect anyone to like MUFC. I <STRONG>do</STRONG> expect people to get behind <STRONG>anyone</STRONG> who represents their country.
The England football team is made up of notional representatives, who don't even have to be born in this country - the minimum requirement is that a grandparent is English.
We love them dearly because they reresent US.
There really isn't any differnce between that and Man U in Europe.
Or are you telling me that you didn't want Liverpool, Ipswich, Leeds or Arsenal to do well either?
of course kermit <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> coming from supporter of a classic nothing team who's puropse so far in the history of football is to make up the numbers <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
That United provide high number of players to the national squad does not change the fact that many fans despise England. You don't need to go to OT to hear them chanting 'Argentina'. This is a fact and you can hear it practically every time a Man U game is shown.
To be fair Man U players do get a rough treatment from so-called England fans (idiots). But you have to acknowledge that United gets the least representation, by a million miles, amongst the England supporting base.
I don't particularly hate or even dislike the team. They have fabulous talent and have played superb football for years. They have a wanker or two in the squad, but what team doesn't?
It's the fucking fans that do everyone's heads in. The shameless opportunism, the glory hunting, the contempt for other teams... As a visiting team supporter I've been to OT three times. That's more than about 98% of Man U fans have. I do have a big problem with so-called football fans supporting teams based hundreds of miles away. Football is all about local communities, not glory hunting.
I've had this argument with others here. Being a supporter isn't about where you live. Its about what you feel.
How many people actively support their village side? Home and Away?
Very few.
What actually happens is that we support the bigger sides, be that Arsenal, Derby, Gillingham, Exeter...whatever, we support a big fish in the pond. For some people that means MUFC and yes I accept that some are there because of the last ten years worth of success (just as Liverpool found in the 80s). Many of us, though, stuck through the barren years I have mentioned.
What I won't accept is that I am an less of a supporter becuase I can't see the Stadium from my bedroom window.
~~~~~~
Can you back up your claim of 98%, or are you just overstating something to support a prejudice?
Yes thats thats right folks you read it right, the words biggers sides and Derby in the same sentence!
Mok, I salute you!
They were mentioned alongside Gillinham and Exeter FFS <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Point being that in Derby, Derby County are the big fish...you support them even though Burton Albion are your closer side(I believe?).
Even if you go to Burton on a semi-regular basis, when asked, you say you support the Rams...
~~~~
You know I still can't get over his Man U Fans hating England comments <IMG SRC="mad.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I know prejudice makes you blind but jeez....
Have you never heard or irony, Aladin? England fans boo MUFC players. As an act of irony, MU fans chant for Argentina, thus underlining the folly of the England fans being unable to support their own players - purely based on their club side.
That is the sole reason for the chant.
Of course, Aladin is too stupid to see that a MU fan would actually know this. He'd rather keep his blinkers on...
I live roughly in between Burton and Derby, and as I was born in Derby, I consider them my first team. I don't get to see them as much as I like through working and the cost so ruinning a close second come Burton Albion. Supported them for about nine years now and I'm going to see there final game this evening. £6 entry, stand where you like and food ain't half bad to. Non league football's great!
