    No i dont support either.

    My point is they ran out of money before, what will happen when it happens again.

    BTW Man Utd could find themselves in some difficulty after spending £30 mil on a center half
    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

      Well, they ran out of money after 10 years of corrupted and moronic management. Remember Real Madrid paid nearly as much for Anelka three years ago as for Ronaldo now?

      The club seems to be much better managed now, ever since Lorenzo Sanz went away, and Florentino Pérez is in office (don't know if that's the right word for a football club).

      If things are done right, Real Madrid, Man Utd or even Barcelona can afford big transfers and still not run out of money, just because they're high-selling trade marks.

                Paul: Besides, if Feyenoord can win the UEFA Cup, there's no reason why Ajax can't win the Champions League.


                mostly because Feyenoord is a much better team than Ajax is.

                  Uhmm

                  I think this tactis will fail miserably

                  Maybe a Juventus-will-surely-win-every-single-game Strategy would work much better

                          For those of you who are interested, UEFA has started UEFA Fantasy Champions League. I started an Apolyton league, which you can join with this code: 69195@_66362

                          And I just noticed that you can also win prizes:
                          The highest points scorer each Matchday will scoop two tickets to a UEFA Champions League match of their choice as well as hotel accommodation. An alternative option of UEFA Champions League merchandise will also be offered.

                          Details of the overall prize will be announced on uefa.com in the near future.
