We've been bearing this every year since the mid nineties. Man U, best team in Europe, best team in the world, blah, blah, blah and yet in all that time, when they have played in the Champions League every single season, they have managed to win it a magnificent total of once. The team that won it in 1999 was significantly stronger than their current team in all but one area and even then it could be argued that Giggs in his prime was every bit as good as Cronaldo. Another interesting fact is that although they have reached 13 european semi finals they have only managed to get to three finals. In Europe Man U always look good until they actually have to play a good team and then they go out. History will repeat itself, when they play Barcelona they will bottle it the same way they did against AC Milan last season. They may be the best team in England. but they are European also rans. They always have been. ..... and relax.......

Yeah, the owners will be putting up f*ck all as usual. It'll be a combination of sales plus what we can get from Ocean Finance.

So what he's really saying is "It's not off".

If they were good enough they wouldn't be behind in the pecking order. They need to stop making excuses and get on with it.

If he was good enough "the foreigners" wouldn't be getting in his way, would they?

They haven't changed the rules, country protection has always been removed at the Quarter Final stage.

Don't see why not, otherwise I'd be a hypocrite.

Is the correct answer.

Sorry mate but some of the responses deserve ridicule. Ant's response is a reasonable one and I'm sure a lot of people will agree with him. Yours, however was borderline lunacy and would never work. I personally think that Rafa should be given the time and space he needs to complete the job, I could be wrong about that but what I do know is that there are no quick fixes.

I don't really want Moyes or Jewell. I just thought that as everyone else is talking through their f*cking arses i'd join in.

What Paul Jewell? He is an experienced Premier League manager and used to play for us.

What about David Moyes? He's done a great job on a limited budget for the bluesh*te.

SSN saying "stand by for some good news for Liverpool".

I'm not disputing what you have heard and if it is true then Arsenal are guilty of some serious misrepresentation in regard to these waiting list certificates they are handing out at £15 a pop.

Loads of references to the waiting list all over t'internet and all stating 40K+. So someone somewhere is telling porkies. There was also as feature on Sky about it just before Christmas suggesting they had made the mistake of building the Emirates too small. Sky feature discussed on RAOTL

That link is somewhat out of date but I did see a gooner on telly recently with his certificate telling him he was 40,000 and something on the list. I'll see if I can track down some evidence to back up my claims.

Arsenal's season ticket waiting list has got bigger since the Emirates opened. Currently it is over 40k and it costs £15 to have your name added so Arsenal are not suffering at all from having a bigger stadium, quite the reverse in fact. Arsenal Season Ticket Waiting List

The other stadium

The biggest winners will be the clubs with a mature worldwide fanbase ie Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juve, Us, the Mancs etc. Football in general will suffer but there's nothing new in that.
