Disagree. Real Madrid are the best team in the world, spend money for fun but the can be sh!t. Simple as that.
No Real Madrid have superstars are ageing and could be beaten by Barcelona, Inter, AC, Chelsea or any of the others, Chelsea only lost to Barca because of Anders Frisk. Chelsea probably could beat Real Madrid, and if they couldn't....next year buy more players. Chelsea more or less have unlimited funds Real Madrid do not.
Not in my opinion no, they're not having a great season in La Liga, hence everytime i watch them they lose, and i think they definitely can be beaten in Europe by about 4 teams.
See. In my opinion they are the best team in the world. Roberto Carlos scoring that free kick for France in the World Cup of 98. pffft.
Like you said Melly, they spend money for fun...not for football... Half their signings are half for the 'pub' (the kind without the pretty girl giving you beer all day... OTOH, if the bandwagon came a-rolling by my house with that offer, there would be an audible pop as the air I once occupied comes crashing back in my wake) I love Real Madrid....where's my beer? What? No beer? I hate Real Madrid.
Yeah but Mel that was back in 98 when all Real Madrid's galacticos were in their prime or just coming into it. it's now 7 years later and they are still awesome players but not as far ahead as the pack as they were but now they're just good players who everybody's waiting on to retire soon.
Feel free to hate all the Cockneys you want as they are likely to be Orient, Millwall or West Ham fans. Cockneys, to be Cockney, have to be born "within the sound of Bow Bells' which means they are all Eastenders... You can't hear Bow Church's bells in the Fulham Road. Calling Chelsea fans "Cockneys" is as accurate as calling Celtic fans "Protestants"
He is born to win and that is fine with me. Find his attitude and confidence refreshing, has no problem taking on the system and speaks his mind. Every time he makes or takes the headlines it takes pressure of his players, you rarely if ever see them sound off at the mouth like Ronaldinho did Monday, Ronaldinho must being enjoying eating his words Gotta love him
Oh my Mel, that is soooooooo hypocritical, you must be trolling By your reasoning then, all Mackems are Geordies???
No. Makams are not ********ing Geordies. You try being brought up thinking all Londoner's are Cockneys. You cant change who you are sunshine.
City are happy to prove that Chelsea are beatable! Obviously I like it when someone challenges the blatant official favortism for Fergie and Untd. However, Its hard to support a store bought team with a catalogue coach on rent. Nice to see him challenge Fergie, seems like a bit of a complainer though. Get Joe Cole in the match more often!!!
I absolutely hate his behaviour. Nothing wrong with confidence, I don't mind the cocky attitude at all. It's actually quite funny and I know mind games are a part of sport. BUT I can't tolerate the immature behaviour on the sidelines and even on the pitch. (Read:Chelsea-Barca). I hope he gets fined for his crap antics (not that $$$ is an issue whe Chelsea's involved). He may have beat Barca and maybe they deserved to win, but Rikjaard's the more respectable coach, IMO. I think Jose needs someone to tell him how to win (and lose) with dignity. Note: This isn't meant to take away from his brilliance as a manager. He is undeniably talented.
Actually he does know how to lose with dignity, if you saw the match when Chelsea were knowcked out of FA cup vs Newcastle, you wold have seen that he was actually very gracious in defeat, he was on pitch congratulating all players from Newcastle, was thanking travelling supporters and shook hands with Souness, was very classy in defeat.
